    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.

    I had a very brief moment of confusions as to how you were planning to control when it went dark 😂 (I’m tired today).

    Exercise and NEAT pretty decent for the week but being on vacation hasn’t made the food choices that easy. Being home leads to mindless eating if I’m not careful.

    I know! It is INSANE.
    Time goes by so fast sometimes. My oldest son is turning 14 in 6 days. I'll have 2 highschool-age kids. :scream:

    I’ve just done a count through and there aren’t enough days for me to go to gym 24 times -my weekends this month are days which has me working all the hours the gym is open so dropped it to 20. Had an amazing albeit very, very, sweaty gym workout tonight as it’s really hot today - can’t believe I made it through the workout as was struggling with motivation before nightshift :o

    And... Scale finally moved today (albeit by a mere 100gm below my lowest weight which I last saw two weeks ago *sigh*) but hoping it’s the start of more downward movement!

    Had more carbs than I should have earlier in the week but have buckled down the last couple of days. Now if I can start getting under calorie goals, I’ll be doing good. Got in a 3.6 mile run with negative splits and plan another one tomorrow. Going to try a Tracy Warner dvd set starting Monday so we’ll see how that goes.
