    My focus will be exercise this month. I feel better, I sleep better, I'm happier...it just needs to happen, even if that means getting up before 4. Food has sort of become second nature at this point.

    I'm starting a new 8 week plan of HIIT + 2 compound lifts.

    7/2
    20 minutes 1:4 HIIT elliptical sprints
    RDL - 1x5 @ 70, 1x5 @ 90
    Was supposed to squat, but legs were shaky after sprints and I didn't feel 'twas prudent

    This is a perfect month for me and this challenge in regards to exercise.....I have already tried getting some cardio and Yoga into my daily routine......End of the month at work is always a bear so I missed some last week, but trying to get back in the groove.

    My whole family is talking about joining a gym in town and working out together so that would make it even better.

    1. Increase NEAT I’ve been busy all day but not sure how much was active - hopefully it’s adding up
    2. Gym 24 times 1/24 despite being 45 min late off work (yay)
    3. Macros in range :+1:
    4. Calories in range :+1:

    Scale is still being a *kitten* though >:)

    Way under my step goal today but I did get in a dog walk and some HIIT training. Getting a new tattoo took out more time from the day than I planned. Food was decent today but snacking after dinner on nuts put me over my calorie goal. Being off work for the week will be a challenge for not going off the rails.

    Got in 2 sets of 5 Burpees. I’d like to hit 100 total this week. 25/100 so far.
    I was swinging a garden hoe for an hour, too, so that was a good workout.

    Just starting this journey so my goal is to get my ducks in a row. Establish some type of a routine. Keep tracking my macros, calories, steps, etc. I have Ehler's Danlos Syndrome so I need to increase my exercise very gradually. Also, new to the group and thank you @PaulaKro now I know what NEAT is. Already learned something new. I have a ranch so I'm always doing NEAT things LOL

    Not really doing any specific 'plan' or whatever, but have managed to get out and bike outside for 4 days running now. June 30th, did 35km plus a walk. July 1st, 22km plus a walk. July 2nd, 25km. This morning, 24km. Gonna try and keep doing this as long as we can / as long as the weather holds. Then we'll switch back to spinning indoors on the trainer.

    I know I need to refocus after vacation but my brain isn't in it and my body feels the results. With the heat wave this week, I will have to get out in the mornings for walks. Also my Thu spin class is getting cut so will have to replace that with something else. This month is going to be a challenge. So my goals will be:

    Outdoor walks 5 days a week
    Spin class 1 day a week
    Outdoor bike ride 2 days a week
    Decluttering my house nightly for more NEAT

    @23rochelle23 I got a watercolor floral piece on my shoulder. Hurt like hell but looks awesome!

    The floral piece sounds exciting @taylok23. When I finish losing weight, my dream is a skin tuck & pretty tattoos to adorn the scars. :)

    I just had a prp injection in my foot. So my goal weirdly enough is to rest it and be as sedentary as possible so that I can heal up and feel better. Its harder than you think. To make up for it I'm going to log diligently to hopefully keep up the momentum of my weight loss which has been going very strong. Its been 6 weeks on low carb and I'm down 9lbs. I miss the gym, but hopefully I can start going again soon by the end of the month so I can start doing some upper body training again at least.
