I’m sorry for my excitement. Yes, I know it’s Monday. But I’ve been on such a good streak and our team is doing well. I just can’t help but be happy and want to share and spread the joy. There are some people missing and I hope they check in for support even though they may not be posting. The sad part is if they haven’t been weighing, they end up off the team. This is our last week for June. So let’s really give this week a good final effort and make June Finale awesome! And we’ll start July even lighter!!

@Perla4686 ~ I’m still digging the report style of Run, Track, Mind! 😍 You’re doing great with the C25K. I know it’s great to push yourself, but also could you repeat one run just to build up endurance and confidence? Do you have a 5k specifically that you are training for? If so, what and when? Push those leftovers to the back of the fridge and put your healthy snack foods in front of it! Stay in control. It’s not always about feelings. It’s about making habits and determination. Develop, read, and say some affirmations to get that “stinking thinking” out of your head. I haven’t been perfect on this journey. And I have fallen off for four days at a time in the last three months. In May I think it was almost 6 days once. I admit it was scary. I thought I lost myself again. But EVERY DAY I kept coming here and posting and being real. And reminding myself that this is a lifestyle change. Reading the other posts and starting each day new. And then I made some deals with myself (rewards) so that at night I was more encouraged to stay focused and get back on track. And that’s it… TRACKING truly does seem to be the key. I promise that I TRACK, NO MATTER WHAT, for the rest of my life. As that’s my new reality. It’s what will keep me focused on the goal and the prize… my new healthy lifestyle. Will I fall off again? Probably. But I have developed some good strategies to not fall so far down that’s it’s a harder climb back up. YOU CAN DO IT! Stay positive and focused… one day at a time. One moment at a time. Develop those good habits and strategies.
@Jupdyke~ Yikes!! Hope you feel better. No time to get sick just before vaca! Whoooohooooo! Last day with students. Then a short week. Yeah!! P.S. Thanks for being a teacher. Your profession is underappreciated. Have a good Monday!
@ajaia2001~ Hey girl! Did you read/see…. You finished #3 in Week #3. Awesome. So thrilled. You’re doing great. And Sunday was not a rest day… 2 workouts plus laundry and housework! No wonder you finished #3. You’re doing great! Keep it up! Glad you’re on our team!
@skullsandskeletons~ You’re so devoted and dedicated! Way to stay on track and moving about as best you can. Those housework days can be brutal, bending, stretching, twisting, lifting, etc. I bet you feel good about all that! I noticed the last time I cleaned good… it was easier. I didn’t tire as easy and there was less of me to drag around the house. LOL Good job!
@JammyPea~ hey… a stay the same is so much better than a gain! Yes, sleep is so important. Glad you are sleeping better. You will get back on track and back to tracking. You had a great month… 6.6# loss!! YES! Bye bye to those pounds.

Let’s do this team!!

Mind: I conquered home baking today which normally throws me off the wagon, so feeling pretty chuffed. Only had 2 cookies where in the past I would just mindlessly eat my way through a whole tray. And the 2 where within my allowance!
Feeling positive!

Well, not a loss this week, but a .2 pound gain isn't too shabby. Could be better, but could be worse. I chuck it up to a lack of sleep last night.
@johicks I want to be in the July challenge. However, I will be on vacation for my July 1 weigh in. What shall I do?

I'm stoked you still want to participate. You can miss one week w/o being excluded from recognition or challenge.

This weekend I had two back-to-back days of eating at maintenance. I figured heading into this week, expecting TOM that I should allow my body the little extra to preserve my NO night binge streak. And in knowing that TOM is just around the corner, I have a few “fun” snacks in my arsenal. I have two awesome protein powder recipes that I use… protein No Bake Fakes and a Protein PB Chocolate Mousse. And yesterday to really have fun with my taste buds, I discovered a yummy new snack that I’m going to eat more often. I’ve been taking a cucumber to work and cutting it into thick slices to eat like a “chip!” I love the crunch. And they are so few calories. Well, yesterday I brought some salsa to dip them in. I thought… it will be okay. NO. It was freaking awesome!! Anyway.. Here are to the last days of this June challenge and to getting this summer started with a new lifestyle!
I CAN DO IT!
JUST FOR TODAY!
I’M POSSIBLE!
I CREATE MY FUTURE… TODAY!
I AM WORTH IT!
I LOVE MYSELF!
