    Daily Post (Friday 5/31)

    Track no
    Calories Possibly under
    Water 60 oz
    Exercise none
    Day It’s been a very low-key day for me. My depression got the better of me and I spent most of it in bed. I delayed meals and almost skipped them altogether, but I know that path just leads to me feeling worse. I couldn’t get myself to exercise today and that’s okay. I will mark it off as my rest day of the week and go on, my legs were sore anyways. Tomorrow will be better.

    My day
    1) I got some rest.
    2) Alex stayed by my side.
    3) It was sunny today.

    Myself
    1) I try to be helpful.
    2) I love animals.
    3) I enjoy the sciences

    @MaelynMayhem Yes, it was pretty good. They advertised the meal to kick off the music camp we have brought my kids to as "Buddha Bowls," and my plate consisted of couscous, chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes cucumber, onion, avocado, and an orange vinaigrette. I don't like it as an only option for kids (mine mostly ate the veggies as a salad, and chips and salsa my aunt smuggled in), but I liked it.

    Yes!! The door stayed closed! 💃 :smiley:
    @JamieD328~ You sure did a lot setting up camp. For sure that was exercise both cardio and resistance. I can only imagine how hard it would be to track something you’re not used to eating and portions; plus feed the kids on that. Wishing you lots of fun!!
    @MaelynMayhem~ look at you! You’re like me and like to figure things out! ;) We’re going to make great co-captains! I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have a great Friday. I had to take it easy on my knees today, too. I hate it when my brain and energy is there, but my body isn’t. But I’m learning it’s okay and to listen to it. Today is a new day - up and at ‘em we go!
    @peacekeace ~ This week may not have been what you wanted, but in the big picture, you had an overall loss for the month. Yeah you!!
    @skullsandskeletons ~ Another good day for you! May might be over, but there is still one day left to post in the May Challenge. Please be sure to post your Saturday (6/1) daily post in the May thread. :) Thanks! You’re doing great. This is a confusing couple of days…. LOL old month to new month.
    @germaine_yee ~ You’re welcome for the updates. Look forward to more weight loss in June! You can do it! Together, we can.

    ALL June challenge starts Sunday, June 2nd. Post your last "May challenge" daily post- Saturday (June 1st) on this thread. Then Sunday start by posting in June. Below is the link, be sure to click the star ⭐ at the top of the thread to place it as a bookmark and receive notifications. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10746096/team-run-track-minds-june/p1

    After a few more posts, then off to start my day! I need to exercise and plan my meals for the day. It’s going to be tricky as I’m going to the city w/mom and then we have two open houses tonight! I will plan my day around having a small piece of cake at ONLY one open house, “dinner” at the other.

    I’m going to focus on people and fun. FOOD IS FUEL! I sometimes need to remind myself...

    Track: Yes
    Calories: over
    Exercise: no
    Water: not enough
    Day: had a nice date night with BF, had a lot of calories for the day left so i just enjoyed myself within reason. Went over but not out of control.

    Daily Post (Saturday)
    Track: Yes
    Calories: under
    Exercise: no
    Water: not enough
    Day: having a rough day mentally. End of the night last night ended up with a disagreement and frustration with BF regarding our potential upcoming move. So woke up in a funk if you will. Will be under calories cause I don’t have much of an appetite. Letting myself feel my feelings and stew then hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and more productive.

    @jwall309 ~ Jessica …. Good for you on being in control Friday. I did similarly today, too. It was nice! Thanks again for sharing and having a real-life perspective on the weight loss journey. So sorry to hear about the frustration. Change can be rough. Focus on the positive and do your best. HUGS

    Track: Yes
    Calories: at maintenance
    Exercise: Yes
    8+ water: 12
    Daily Goals:
    • Morning Affirmations:
    • Plan / pre-log food
    • Exercise goals> 2-3x/day, 30+m, 2-3/wk resistance: 62min
      32m=morning workout
        [+]5m w/up [+]12m beg full body w/o w/BodyFit by Amy [+]3m Glider (arms & legs) [+]10m bike [+]2m cool down
      30m bike
    • One post-dinner snack: Yes
    • Kitchen Closed! - YES! Gum in mouth & Tea in hand.

    My day started out great and ended frustrating/aggravating! This morning I found a new gal on video gal for exercise and to challenge me just a little. I need to be careful to not push too hard and hurt myself, but looking forward to it. Low impact- just what I need. BodyFit by Amy has a 4-week challenge, so I’ll do her one challenge tomorrow, then have the next four Sundays in June to complete them. I am going to give myself a reward for completing the 4-week challenge! I think a summer outfit! (Even if it ends up being something smaller from the back of my closet!) I’ll measure tomorrow morning which I haven’t since the beginning of January. I didn’t do much exercise until May, so I'm excited to see how many inches are gone. Then again after the 4-week challenge.
    So I managed the open houses pretty well, I think I was mindful and in control. Yes, I went over but within my maintenance allowance. I came home to a falling down drunk husband. I was NOT happy. I’m glad he was on his way to bed. It gave me time to vent by tracking what I ate and then using the bike for 30 minutes. I have to remember that it’s HIS addiction, HIS problem. I can’t help him. I have to worry about my health. I’m now watching 600lb life and am in a better mental place. It helps that tomorrow is weigh-in. I feel like today was more of a maintenance type of day, not weight loss day. The food wasn’t the focus, the friends were! It was fun. That is going to be my memory for today. Something I can focus on and KNOW that I can do this!

    Tracked: yes
    Calories: over 1250, but under mfp allowance.
    Exercise: walked the dog, but took a rest day.
    Day: Did pretty well today food wise, a little over. My girls had a dance recital tonight, 5 hrs long. It was beautiful and fun, but lots of sitting. Hubby and I snuck out at intermission and got milkshakes. That was fun. 1 more night of dance recital tomorrow night.

    Track: No
    Calories: probably over. Went out with family out of town here, and after our class times I may have had more wine than I realized with my mom pouring.
    Exercise: More walking to and from music classes today, and we played in the Suwannee River.
