Well I am starting darn near where I left off in June.lol Not bad for not tracking any calories, and indulging while on vacation! But, I'm ready to get the scale really moving again, so I'm back to counting and weighing everything again. I hit one of my goals I set for myself earlier this year last week though. I hiked our mountain, and didn't feel like death the whole time. I felt really good actually! Until the DOMS set in two days later. New goal: Hike and not be so dang sore after! This is the first week I've had in two months that isn't insane. The desire to veg out on my couch and not work out is strong! But I know have to get back at it.

I'm going to recomp starting September 1st, hit my goal or not. Being close to my goal is hard, the margins are tight. I'm at a size I'm comfortable with and I really just want to stay under 128 (puts me in a "healthy" BMI, seems like a good goal if I'm picking) and recomp.3 -
Hoping to see some progress this month with the "new" eating plan now that I've had a week or so to adjust. Adding the gym back in as well, so no reasons I shouldn't be!

Almost where I was before breaking my leg on Memorial Day. Still doing modified workouts. Started PiYo this week and am liking it, even though I'm terribly unbalance and uncoordinated. Wrist is handling it ok so far. Walking 3 miles/day with the dogs and being more mindful about food choices.3 -

I have been couch potatoing my life away at 144lbs because it was easy to get to and it's been easy to maintain. I've had enough of my own ish though. I joined a crossfit gym after my intro free workout today (I used to CF before getting pregnant and loved it), and I've hopefully just written a check large enough to force myself into commitment. Honestly I'm REALLY excited! I missed this!5 -
I am 9.2 pounds from my goal. I would like to lose 5 pounds in August. I definitely think that is doable.4

I was making progress last month and then we went on vacation- lots of hiking during the first part of the week then lots of eating with not-so-much activity at the end.
I'm in the South - teachers started last Monday and students return to school this coming Monday. As long as I stay away from break room treats, monitoring my eating is easier when I'm working.8 -

Hey I'm finally trending down again, and not up! YAY! I hit a new low on the scale today too. So I'm hoping to get my average down to 135 this month. That would be awesome. I did manage to pick up working out again this week. Although I can tell I've had a long break. 10 minutes of squats and burpees left me pretty sore, haha.

I’m not dwelling on the fact that scale has not reflected my diligence and dedication in a couple weeks, despite my meticulous weighing, logging and recent addition of exercise. Although I haven’t measured, my favorite shorts tell me that I’ve shrunk some in the last 2 weeks. I’m hoping to get back to my end of July WI of 137 next week and continue the slow, downward spiral.4 -

Bounced up a little - my own fault. Gluten and I have a love/hate relationship. I know I need to stay away from it. I know I feel better when I avoid it. And yet, I make exceptions. Last night, my son (training as a chef) made quiche. I ate the crust because I needed to know if it turned out ok. But I ate all the crust rather than a bite. Plus a slice of garlic bread. Now I ask you, why?? Why did I eat all the gluten????? Cuz I'm not truly committed to this idea of GF like I should be. I resolve to do better.3 -

First week of crossfit in the bag. My only goal was to show up every day. Next week is the same. I don't expect to lose weight the first week of strenuous exercise that suddenly includes lifting. Maybe by the end of the month. If not, still fine. For some reason I love my body and I'm more lenient with myself when I'm doing incredible things.3 -

So, I did a decent job of maintaining while we were on the road for the month of July. My goal was not to gain, and I didn’t. But I suspect that is partially due to some muscle loss since I could only run and not strength train.
We moved into the new place last Friday and I’m trying to get everything settled. I am still keeping up with my running, but may not be able to get back to strength training until September. My goal for August will just focus on switching from maintaining back to dieting. 2 -

The heat wave finally subsided! I finally am able to stop adding salt to my water to prevent dehydration (I have a very active job outside). I finally saw my numbers go down. 2 weeks to go to my shopping trip and visiting family this weekend where food and alcohol will flow. I’ve got this. Logging in a long bike drive this morning and plan on bringing my bike with me so I can do another one tomorrow morning.
My plan for this week, 7000 steps a day and 30 minutes of cycling or 10000 steps on my rest days. Yoga 3 times. Keep on track with my food intake on the pms week.1 -

That is mostly a water weight drop again. But nice to leave for a beach trip at a new LW. Stayed on plan the week before even with some stress. Now I’m away and not being super diligent so we’ll see what happens. Getting lots of activity and enjoying this break anyway.2
