Repeat of the challenge blurb:
New month knocking on the door, new challenge!
This month's theme came to us last year courtesy of @kfat1. I liked the idea so much, I decided to use it again this year. And also, it was already dreamed up, and I'm lazy. :bigsmile:

    I had a happy hour with some girl friends yesterday, I drank too much wine but stayed low carb for my meal. Missed my workout though, so need to pick up the pace this weekend to make sure I get 3.5 hours in.

    Week 1 was great. Exceeded my 45k steps by 2000 and change. Still working on upping my protein and going leaner. Steady as she goes, Captain!

    @baconslave congrats! A long term livable lifestyle change.

    My goal is to stop eating processed carbs and sugar. I realize that if I was eating Keto the way I should be that this would be a no brainer. Unfortunately I am still bingeing on mainly sugar at least once a week. I began reading 8 weeks to sugar free by Karin Thomson and the first week went great. I am now re-starting week 2 for the second time.
    I realize I must become a sugar abstainer as all it takes is a taste to send me into a downward spiral.

    Not doing so well. Pulling up my big girl pants and cleaning the slate.

    4.Get to 10’000 steps 5/7 1/7 my biggest challenge with this is I always leave my phone lying around so miss out on most of my steps - cant wear a fitness tracker due to the type of work I do (have to be bare below elbows)

    Sleep:
    5. Get to bed in time to have at least 7hr a night 4/7

    I’m now switching to nights for 4 nights so I’ve planned ahead for today/tonight - will post in mornings I guess - stupid shift work confuses

    Great weekend so far...got my planned workouts in, carbs are in check (even at a triple crown party) and we have a bbq today but the host is LCHF, so it should be easy.

    I am jumping in to try and convince myself that I CAN make a goal and keep. I must do this for my health. Lots of failures on attempts to eat better and move more. Today is a new beginning.

    Goals for June 11 - 16:

    Log what I eat every day
    Exceed tracker step goal by 100 steps
    Find and complete a calming bedtime routine to reduce stress and encourage sleep
    Lose at least one pound this week.

    I went overboard with late night snacks. Darn those smokehouse almonds are good.

    I hear ya. I kinda sorta dug into an excessive amount of almonds last night. Mine were raw and unsalted to help keep tastiness thus excessiveness to a minimum. Didn't seem to help this time. Bummer. :)

    Ok, got on scale today and was up two lbs. Kept carbs low but perhaps was a little lax on calories, but nothing drastic. Could be normal fluctuation. Will carry on and be more careful with calories.

    Am on my last 20 and ALWAYS have a very slow time at this point.

    Carbs were a little higher than I wanted over the weekend and the scale showed it today. Still got my workouts in but need to step it up this week along with lowering my carbs and overall calories.
