    Pool opened yesterday. In the back ground you can see “Shimmer Lake”. It’s actually a pond but I nicknamed it. Looking forward to exploring more of this peaceful time poolside outdoors.

    @Cafelelia we sure have been a soggy mess!! and thanks. I am getting a little nervous especially after the trip to the county clerks office yesterday. and the basement is huge. you cant even see on the other side of the one wall is another 8 foot wide walkway that runs the length of the basement with shelves and storage. ohhh the possibilities. I think your office is really cute. I love the window.

    @Shirin_K good job at meeting your daily goals. keep that up! your doing great!

    @sleepymom5 woooo whoo look at you go! I am glad your mom is feeling some better. and thanks for checking in. we know you have been busy. you right. one of my triggers is my crappy job and the exhaustion that comes along with it. and I am so proud of you! look at the new you go. make sure you give yourself lots of credit for the hard work your doing. you are creating healthy new habits. good job.

    @kirsten11872 the scale can be so fickle. you just keep working your plan. you got this!!

    @eyesopennow love your scale!! it has been a life saving for me as well.

    @GingerPwr ohhh yea! love your works in progress!!

    @phoebe112476 ohhhh I am soooo glad you found your pup. I am so relieved for you and your family. I can't even imagine how worried you must have been. I am so glad she is back. phew!!

    @lennoncpa we all have times when we stumble. don't let it mean your done. changing those old habits are hard. really hard. and remember back to the ball in the sand example? that explains exactly why you are having such a hard time right now. but the only way to make the ball go in the other direction is to push it that way. so for today, lets concentrate really hard and push that ball in the direction we want it to go. you can do this!!

    @carlsoda that is a good book!!

    @Julie8468 miss you checking in! I am glad you are doing ok. I also keep a couple of individual sized bags of assorted nuts in my car as well. sometimes you need a little good fat for fuel!!

    @twyla77 I am glad that your tooth drama is over for now. and your challenge sounds amazing!!

    @Mrsbell8well such a cool pool!! and I love the scenery. little private oasis!

    Wednesday Check in

    Food - Logged & under
    Water - 1 l
    Exercise - 7324 steps & physio

    More yesterday so no running. Today looks good so I am planning on it. I have psoriasis & saw a new dermatologist yesterday. I had a bad flare up in March/April when my son was having his issues. I have had this condition for 20 years & normally can control/eliminate it with the right cream, diet & exercise. It was weird this time as nothing worked & it is all over the backs of my arms. It turns out it was infected (yuck) & that is why it was getting worse. The doctor gave me 2 creams/sprays & they are already healing the areas. She also spent a lot of time with me going over diet & self care. This was a nice surprise as doctors often give you the prescription & that’s it. Turns out she also has the condition. She showed me research & gave me a plan eliminating sugar & including daily meditation, exercise & vitamin D. It was an excellent overview & reminder that daily self care is essential for me no matter what is going on.

    @cyndiesstuff & @Mrsbell8well - beautiful photos!

    @eyesopennow & @cyndiesstuff - I feel like I am just emerging from a pretty rough patch. I do not have all the answers but hang in there & remember to love yourselves no matter how tough it gets.

    @phoebe11276 - so happy that you found your dog!

    @twyla77 - I really like your journal! The food of the day & self challenges are great ideas!

    @Cafelelia thanks! I like how each day is a different food to try - usually something easy like lemon or adding turmeric to something etc! It's fun!

    @twylla77 - love your journal page! You're giving me ideas (thanks!!) :)

    @cyndiesstuff - sorry about the weather. It's been pretty sucky here too. Today however will be sunny and 80! I'm sending it your way!

    @sleepymom5 - great job preparing for your meals on a trip. You are doing great considering everything!

    @eyesopennow - wow that is one messy office. Please keep your door closed (hehe!)

    Yesterday was a pretty good day - got in another hike before going back to work.

    Food - not too bad at all
    Water - not enough
    Steps - 12,000+

    Today I'm back at work getting caught up and trying to keep my eating on plan!
    Later today I'll pre-log all my food for tomorrow. This is one habit I need to do consistently.

    OK - off for a walk and back at it!

    Hello all! It is getting closer to Friday! :smiley:

    I am staying on track & feeling good. I did not workout last night. I was hungry when I got home, so I ate and was contemplating on working out after dinner, but it got later & later and I just didn't do it. I am going to the gym after work, no excuses! I am hoping my elliptical workout tonight & tomorrow night will help bring my weight back down. I need to drop 2 pounds by Saturday, I think I can do it. I am not going to stress, I feel good, the weight will come off.

    I am loving all the pictures! Sorry I have not been active in the challenge, I get home from work and do not log on and forget until I see all your posts.

    Have a great day! :smile:

    Ok since I'm not great at introductions, I'll let y'all ask some questions and I'll answer them in a post. I'm shy and rambling by nature.

    Ok @baby_carrit tell us a little about yourself. What are your goals for june? What work will you do to try and meet your goals? and What is your weigh in day and what is your starting weight?

    Check in for: Thursday
    Logged food: Yes, on target
    Water: 80 oz
    Steps and Exercise: 30 min treadmill and 6,034 steps

    My poor friend. Things aren't good. I am glad she can talk at least. He husband is overwhelmed. We are trying the best we can but there is so much that needs to be done. There are also some family dynamics stuff going on between him and her family which isn't helping.
    Me on the other hand is doing well. So much better than I would have done last year. Tomorrow getting on here will be a challenge so I wanted to be sure to get on tonight.

    @GingerPwr Love the blanket! You are so talented!
    @twyla77 What an awesome challenge! I love your journal! I wish I could make mine as appealing as that one.
    @cyndiesstuff I am glad that things are going a little better. I hope your counseling session went well and you got some insight into the past few days. You are going to figure this out! Love the pics and your frogs! So cute!
    @mrsbell8well I love your yard and pool! It is so inviting and relaxing! You have an awesome summer ahead!
    @Cafelelia You are right, self care is so important. We neglect ourselves too much! I hope with the new treatments, you'll be feeling better in no time. Love the pic of your son feeding the birds! Sounds like a cool place!
    @Shirin_K You have been doing great! Don't let the scale mess with you! Keep doing what you are doing and you will have a drop!
    @eyesopennow Thanks for the response! I want to get both of those now! Lol! Maybe I should start slow with the instapot! I love both of your pics! I really like the picture you have hanging in your office. So serene! I know that your job can be very stressful so I am sure that is nice to look out. I also love the story about the monument! Thanks for sharing!
    @ljdanny . Nice loss! Sorry to hear about your Uncle but would be nice to get something planned with your out of town family members. Hope it works out. And Happy Birthday to your son!
    @carlsoda I need to get in the habit of pre logging too. It is so helpful when I do it! I love the picture from the hike too!
    @kirsten11872 Wow! You can tell you did a killer workout. I am still impressed with your workouts, especially the elliptical! I have been struggling with the 15 mins!
    @lennoncpa I love how you turned it around and bought good food to eat when you are hungry! A little planning makes things so much easier! Enjoy your clogging class!
    @amsandos Have you ever listened to the Brooke Castillo podcasts? She actually is a mentor for Corrine. She has a lot of good material on managing your mind. You may want to listen to her too. You need to start giving yourself credit for all that you do. You are challenging yourself for this tough Mudder and the triathalon. It isn't easy but you have been setting personal records. You also have been doing a lot of mental work with the eating. It isn't easy and takes work but you are still keeping at it. Hugs! You can do it! Love your little British humor always shining through your posts! Lol!
