    @rosileem -- net calories = your total calorie intake minus your exercise calories. So if I eat 1700 calories, but I burn 500 calories running, my net =1200 calories.

    Side note: Anyone know why my profile pic doesn't show up here? Is it because I don't have many posts?

    Friday fitness: dancing! I mean I’m not a professional (although younger me always wanted to be) but I get a good playlist going (and some videos with moves I can ~attempt~ to follow) and I’ve done a good 30 mins of cardio AND I’m usually drenched! Add that with some weight work- two of my favourite fitness endeavours! The cherry on top is if I can squeeze in some yoga :)

    Hi guys! I stayed at a friend's place last night and we spent most of today at her pool, so not as much movement as I would have liked. On the plus side we walked around ton a bit; however, we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner out at restaurants and definitely not the healthiest of foods. Lunch was pretty good, but breakfast was a local doughnut shot she wanted me to try, and dinner was Chinese food. :open_mouth:

    I'm drinking LOTS of water tonight to try to counter all of the sodium, and tomorrow I'll be back to healthier choices within my calories goal.

    Any thoughts about next week's challenge focus? I think Katrina (who has been running things) is out of town camping. Is anyone interested in a core or strength training challenge? Maybe we each pick something (planks, push ups, weight lifting, crunches, etc) that we want to do for the week?

    I lost 5.2 lbs. in June, and I'd really like to step it up and shoot for 8 lbs in July. That's a reasonable (but not easy) 2 lbs./week. I will have to be super strict with my calorie allowance, but I figure if I can lose over 5 when I was on vacation for a week, I should be able to push myself and meet this goal. Really, I should have no trouble staying near 1200 net calories/day if I just commit to more time at the gym burning calories. I know me, and I know I won't stop eating/drinking the stuff I love, so I need to make sure I'm paying for it at the gym. :)

    Height: 5’8”
    Highest Weight: This round: 295 (January 16, 2018)
    Start Weight (June 2, 2018): 255.6
    Goal Weight (June 30, 2018): 247.6

    6/1- 6/8 focus: Hydrate! Try to get your water in every day this week. How I did:: :smiley: I'm one of those people who can get water in easily. I have two 32 oz bottles I bought while in Alaska in January. I rotate them, and refill as soon as one is empty. I cannot drink cold water unless it is an attempt to cool down. It has to be room temperature. I just keep a bottle with me at all times, and if I get the feeling that I've had enough water for now, I wait an hour to drink more. If I drink four of these bottles a day, weight loss is so easy. I'm less hungry and virtually never feel any desire to snack. If I drink three, that's okay and my weight does okay too. Two? Less? My weight loss stagnates the less I drink.
    Positive self talk? How I did: I wasn’t overtly negative, I just wasn’t positive. I’m logging daily but basically standing still with weight. I’ve been working on some long term personal projects and ironically, not drinking nearly enough water.
    6/16- 6/23 focus: MOVE MORE! How I did: I had projects to complete which involved a lot of activity (for me anyhow). It felt great to get things done, and my mind was occupied with planning rather than my stagnant weight.
    6/22- 6/29 focus: Step goal! Make a daily step goal (or if no step counter, another fitness goal.) How I did- :neutral: Not going to lie, I didn’t make a goal, but I did move a lot more.

    Great idea! How about a high plank for time challenge? We can try to increase our max time holding the position. Its a good one for people with limited mobility/strength.

    I like that idea. Would we find our own baseline, and then strive to do more than that number each day?

    Well, I fell off the wagon hard this week. I had a mini meltdown after taking my final for income tax accounting. I am so ready for this summer semester to be over because it is triggering my emotional eating. However, on a positive note, I did get back on track, and the damage wasn’t too bad considering everything I ate.

    @michelle-- we all slip up; the important thing is you got right back on track. I am much worse during the school year when I get stressed out over grading. Even with 7 years of working on the work/life balance, it's still a personal struggle.

    @moodybear--yeah, I think that makes the most sense since we are all at different fitness levels.

    @jogetsgains --I like that idea. We can time ourselves on the initial high plank and work throughout the week to increase the length we can hold it. If anyone isn't capable of doing a high plank, he/she could do a counter-top or wall plank. Ditto for anyone in better shape who wants to do regular planks.

    Yes! On july 1 we see how many seconds we can hold a plank. The first of each week we time it again and see how many seconds we have improved 😃.

    I have to admit, I've never done a plank! I think I'll have to try the modified version

    My dog won't touch them! I think I'd have to bury a stinky salmon treat inside for her to even attempt to lick.

    Monday- check in: things are going okay? I question it because I’m getting to where I don’t feel many changes but I have to remember it’s for the long term.

    I log EVERYTHING. Yes it’s a bit of a challenge when I have to guess some things but even if I know I’m going over, I log it. I appreciate (and the A-type in me kinda loves!) the accountability.

    I want to be understanding about my exercise. I’m trying to increase my weight reps, trying to at least DO some high intensity. I’m worried I won’t see the results I want but I have to remember to take my time. Lasting results are slow growing
