    #MONSLAY!
    This week as our team members weigh-in for week #3 of our May challenge, I want to set ourselves up for a little extra challenge to strive during week #3 to achieve on week #4 weigh-in. The challenge is to have a NO GAIN week #4! 🤯 I know right!!? I would love to have 100% participation, but I know that is unrealistic since there are only a few of us posting daily for the mini-challenge. So, instead, let’s have a 100% commitment. If YOU ARE willing to challenge yourself and commit to working extra hard during week #3 for a NO GAIN on week #4 weigh-in, then please respond…. “Challenge Accepted.” And if you are accepting the challenge, what are you going to work on “extra” to help push yourself to have that NO GAIN!?

    @JammyPea - Another awesome loss!! You're on fire at losing. Excited that you joined the challenge. I have you marked down. Snacking in the evening is my HUGE obstacle, exercise is second.

    What has been working for me is my new nightly routine.
    1.) Come home -change my clothes & change my attitude. "Home. Sweet. Home."
    2.) Eat a pre-planned, plated, and logged dinner mindfully.
    3.) Drink hot tea, to keep belly full.
    4.) Wash face & Brush hair = self-care.
    5.) One snack (if hungry) - then brush teeth and CLOSE THE KITCHEN!!
    6.) When I wake up, I put a smile on my calendar to see that I DID IT! Then when I see a frown, I can also see the many smiles that reminds me... I CAN DO IT!! And it's worth it!!

    AND... congrats again on being #3 loser for our team week #2.

    Challenge accepted! I will try and figure out how to add in more exercise to my days. My nutrition is pretty much on point.

    Daily Post (Sunday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over, 1750/1390, but under maintenance
    Exercise: No
    Water: not enough
    Day: A decent lazy Sunday. Saved up my calories for the day for a large indulgent dinner we had with friends before the Game of Thrones episode. I felt full all the way up until this morning! BUT had a huge scale victory this weekend, as of this morning's weight, I managed to not only not gain over the weekend for the first time EVER since starting this journey, but I lost a little bit! Starting off the week on very solid footing! Definitely a huge motivator to keep my weekends in check every weekend moving forward. Also challenge accepted! I'm going to focus on continuing to find balance on the weekend and making smart choices of when to indulge and when to say no so that I don't gain over the weekend anymore!

    @johicks Challenged accepted! My extra push this week will be to ensure that I go for a 30-minute walk every day. This is harder than it sounds because I have stiff and achy joints.

    I am not able to post everyday because of my schedules. But, I have been following the mini-challenges and much more daily.
    Let's go team! This is for ourselves and our health. The only best and kind thing we can to ourselves individually.

    I will strive to stay under 1250 calories, allowing 1 cheat day to go over (hubby's bday gathering this weekend). I'll stick with 2 workouts a day, 6 days out of the week.
