    Run: been doing C25K. How is that going for you @red1185 ? I'm on week 4 run 2 and it's pretty though, i totally identify with 'making myself do it'. I used to really have to psyche myself into it but now I've partnered up with my teenage son so he pushes me!
    Track: yes, under!
    Mind: sorry I've been MIA, I've been struggling to get back in the zone for awhile. Now finally back and I seriously hope nothing throws me as it's such a struggle to climb out of the rut.

    @Perla4686 the C25K that I’m doing is going ok. I just finished up W2 Run2. Im kind of taking my time with it because I’m doing other things, like the zombie, run and some Shaun T stuff. I’m also doing intermittent fasting here and there. I like to mix it up so I don’t get bored. Good for you for being on Week 4! I have noticed it is getting easier to run. I’m glad the running is only 1-1.5 minute spurts, though! Idk if the timeframe gets longer the more you do, but I like that it’s not 28-30 minutes of straight running. 🙂

    Hope this motivates you as much as it does me. Also one of my favorite quotes by
    Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right,”
    emphasizes how much attitude determines success or failure.

    8+ water: 15
    Daily Goals/Habits:
    • Morning Affirmations:

    • Kitchen Closed! - YES!
    I didn’t wake up sore as I imagined. And it was just what my body needed. The scale moved!! I try to walk a little bit every day. And this week I like that I am dividing my resistance days up to do focus on arms/ core only, then legs another day. Legs always get a good workout!! And it’s amazing how much one can eat when the food is clean and healthy! Wow! I’m on a good streak and enjoying it. It’s motivating me to be strong at night and not to self-sabotage my day’s hard work and good choices. Hope the rest of the weekend goes the same.

    @ajaia2001~ So so awesome!! Wooooohoooooo!! You’re having an excellent month. Push hard one more week through the last week of June. You can do it!
    @jwall309~ Hey lady! That’s a good loss! :) That’s one hard thing about weighing daily...your body decided to do something else. But it’s still a loss. I wonder if you need a big shakeup!? Wonder if it’s getting used your pattern? I’ve read that our muscles and our metabolisms learn and adapt. So that’s why I say that. Maybe!? Something to ponder. If I find a good blog, then I’ll share it. LOVE the idea of you measuring! Yes… what other tools can you use to recognize your success!? Awesome! Keep working hard. One last week for June! Let’s push hard through this and make it great!
    @Perla4686 & @red1185 ~ Thanks for sharing your C25K experiences. It makes it less intimidating for someone like me who isn’t a runner and hasn’t really thought about running. But… maybe when I lose a little more and have less weight on my knees, I would consider it. So please keep sharing. Thank you!
    @skullsandskeletons~ You deserve a treat every now and again! You are doing great and in control. Awesome!

    Please let me know if you have something different. Here's in hope that we are on the same page.... your Friday weigh-in is Friday's, so this CW will be for week #3. Week #4 starts Sunday 6/24/19.
    For you @Fivepts this is what shows posted in the spreadsheet:
    SW: 144.1
    WK1: 143.7
    WK2: 143.7
    WK3: 143.6

    So yes, overall for the June contest you have lost .5lbs. Congrats! One more week left in June work hard and keep losing! Please weigh-in and post on Friday. Thanks! You ARE losing! :)

    @MADDIESMOMMY6611~ Woooohoooo!! Another lb gone!! One week left in the June challenge. Go for it!
    @wander216 ~ Alright! Good job in getting that off! Keep working hard for this last week of June. You can do it!
    @Perla4686 ~ HUGS… Using our team name is an awesome way to remember. Whatever works. Adding the day at the top (Sunday - Monday) would help. We have people in other countries and cover a variety of time zones, so I’m not sure which today sometimes. LOL Glad you’re in the zone! Keep working hard at it! You can do it!
    @jupdyke~ Awesome run and wonderful pool day for you. Yeah!! As I was hauling those limbs, I imagined you cheering me on. :) Thanks! We had great days!
    @skullsandskeletons~ Awesome Saturday. Yeah you!
    @ajaia2001~ Good job! Fun Saturday! Hope you had fun at the water park, too!

    One thing I did well: Ate more fruit instead of processed snacks and fewer night binges! YEAH!
    One thing to improve: I’m expecting TOM, so plan “fun flavorful” foods to stay focused and on track.

    After I posted and went into the kitchen to cut up fruit, I realized that having this snack helped me at work resist the candy jar. It took away my strong urge of wanting it so badly. Nature's candy (berries, apricots, and nectarines) are yummy! Especially when I cut them up a day or two ahead and let the juices flow together. 1 cup of fruit is a lot. And so few calories. SCORE! I mean I knew this, right... but now I KNOW THIS! In my heart and on my tastebuds.

    I have been doing the same with watermelon! Instead of icecream as my late night snack, I’ve switched to watermelon!

    I'm back and forth, however I still got more control, because I'm monitoring weekly. I started today logging all my foods and drinking (8) 8 ounces of water per day. I haven't worked out yet, so busy at work. I plan to get at a minimum 10k today. Going to try to get in (2) 15 minute videos at my desk and walk around some before I get off.

    I had lots of watermelon too. I find it refreshing during this period.
