Exercised yes. Tracked yes. And under calorie limit yes. 0/3 pass days used. I told a close friend about this tonight - the first person I've told and she said "it's a fad it will fizzle out" I was speechless to be honest. U don't think I'm going to tell anyone else for a while.. x
Welcome @ForAmanda222! You’re username says it all, it’s for you! I’m thinking Amanda is probably your name😊 Anyway, this journey is for you, remember that. This is a great challenge and a great group of really supportive, positive people. Happy to have you here!🌸😊🌟

May 1
Tracked?: Yes
Exercised?: Yes.
I've started getting up earlier so that I can fit in a Cycle ride before my day starts, this is a perfect time of year for this as we are experiencing gorgeous spring morning.
45 min Cycle on Cinder track (Saw 3 deer) and 30 minute lunchtime walk
Calories?: Yes.
It's very helpful to get a chunk of calories from exercise, so I don't need to feel deprived of food. I'm two weeks into this cycle of weight loss and I find this the easiest time as my body has adjusted to the initial calories deficit but is not yet rebelling against a sustained deficit.
It feels good to be back in the group
My Goals for the month
1) Be mindful of my thoughts and deeds
2) Calories below maintenance every day (Even if it's only by 1 Cal), don't break the chain
3) Get up early and cycle, 6 days out of 7 at least.
@fatbambi2017 I had to google Quigong. Does it have standard forms like Tai Chi?10 -
5/1
Exercise- Yes, 30 min strength training
Cals- Yes, under by 85
Tracked- Yes, 136oz 💦
Happy May everyone! I’ll post my daily goals tomorrow!! Makes me feel more accountable, helps me to stay on track!
