🙋🏽 GOOOOD Morning my RTM friends …. 🌅 😎 Get up. Wake up. Shake up. Let’s have a great day!!
@Perla4686 ~ Right on 🏃 😝 - you did it! You should not only be pleased with yourself, but proud of yourself. Good daily report… moving, tracking (& under!), and having a great attitude!! Awesome!
“Don’t wait until you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take.”
@johicks ~ Keep your promises to yourself. YOU are who and why you are doing this. It’s YOUR journey. 👊
@LuluLovinLife~ You don’t have to be sheepish. We’re in this together!! Ugh! I feel your pain, literally… I too gained BIG in week #1 and my knees don’t like exercise. But I am learning when to push and not. It took me a few days to pick myself up and dust myself off. I did it. I’m back! And you can too. We joined this challenge for a reason. So let’s do it!! Hope the trailer is coming along and that you will be able to check-in more often for the support and encouragement.
@Toyota100~ Yeah!! A loss! And good week, too. Good job on eating at home and committing to YOUR HEALTH! When want to binge…. Grab gum, a cup of tea, and your phone or device and tell us about your day instead. 🤗
@jupdyke~ Yeah to healthy eating choices!! 👊 And as far as weigh-in goes, you made that conscious choice to ENJOY YOUR VACATION. And with your workout routine, whatever it is…. You will knock it out in no time!! You are a great inspiration on how to make this a lifestyle. I’m glad you are on our team and are sharing your journey with us.
@Kate_X4~ Awesome Sunday and near 5 mile walk!! Whoa!! 🥤 Cheers to a good Monday… drink up.💧💧+💧💧+💧💧+💧💧=8.
@Rozbee~ Yeah… a loss!! That’s 2 weeks in a row… awesome! Keep it going!
@Klilev~ Okay… let’s shake this off. We both had a great June and started July with gains. So now it’s time to kick it up and just DO-IT!! Yes, we can! Let’s get back to our good habits and get that determination back!
@JammyPea~ Wooohooooo! You’re losing! Great job. I love that you planned your exercise. So good!! Ahhhh portions. Keep working at it. You can do it!
@Terry111330~ Awwwwwwesome!! You’re doing great. Keep it going!

Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes, it wasnt pretty....
Calories: Over
Day/Week: Truly had a holiday weekend of eating and not tracking as diligently as usual. Its ok though I needed the break.
For the next three days, I plan to eat at 1,200 cals because my mom and sister are coming for the weekend starting Thursday night and I know this weekend will be hard to stay on track so I want to be smart and conservative with calories at the beginning of the week to have more room at the end of the weekend for indulgences. Hopefully the days will balance each other out and I won't see a significant gain from this past weekend and the upcoming weekend. After that, I think I'll be ready to hit the ground running full steam ahead to lose the last 27 pounds! Almost half way there!2 -

PW: 230
CW: 230
One thing I did well: I stood up for myself when a family member started getting judgmental with me.
One thing to improve: get back on track!
It's a miracle I didn't gain weight this week after all of the indulgences. I am going to get back on track today!3 -

Week: Monday July Week 2
PW: 152.4
CW: 157.8
Ouch...up 5.4, but it'll come off within a couple of weeks. I'm determined.
One thing I did well: I enjoyed my vacation.
One thing to improve: Getting back in track with diet and exercise after enjoying a week of vacation.
Thanks @johicks for the kind words. I am so glad that I found this group! You all are very inspiring to me. I hope to buy a laptop soon so that I can be better about responding to others.

Daily post for Sunday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Not really
Yesterday was back to a healthy oriented family meal, so that was good. We had a rain out of our pool time, but my youngest is still fighting a fever,and we had a cousin with an ear infection, so at least we didn’t have to hurt their feelings.
Today’s daily is already looking less positive, as I hit a drive thru by request of my bigger kids after taking the baby to the pediatrician. Let’s just say there is a Krystal steamer box that’s embarrassingly lighter than it started, and I did my part in making it that way. However, since the 37 year old child is eating up our bandwidth downloading a computer game, I am going to suggest a “Just Dance” party so the kids don’t complain about another day without streaming cartoons, and I can burn a few cals while dancing with their video game.2 -

Daily post Monday:
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: Not much dancing, but I did some jumping jacks, a few push ups and did laps through the house.
Water: probably about 80 oz, so way better than my norm.3 -
Daily Post: Monday July 8
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes under
H2O intake: 9 glasses
Exercise: 20 min rapid pace walk (while
I talked to my friend on the phone)
Goals or Day: So my partner said we should go on a food detox and limit intake to just liquids today. He writes me late afternoon and says he won’t be having supper as he had a late lunch. I said “what?! What happened to the detox?!” He folded and then we got home from trailer renos tonight and he went and bought munchies. SO needless to say he’s not my motivational coach I need these days BUT even though I ate a wee bit today (yoga cookie, celery, apple, coffee) I did eat minimally for a kick start to food detoxing... and I’m not hungry.
My goal for this week is no alcohol until Friday eve when I start my vaca. Oh and to be more active 😁3 -
@johicks well done today! Exercise in the morning!!! Who would have thought that was an option?! Lol I cram it in at end of day- great willpower and great idea! Sets your day off right for sure.1

Felt good to get a workout in. Feeling it tonight in my bootay, so that's a good thing. Dropped my youngest off to camp for the week, so just me and my 16 y.o. for the week. Setting my alarm for 5 a.m. for another workout before babysitting my friend's kiddos.

Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No
Goal/Day: I have been off track since last Tuesday. I've tracked everything but haven't done any type of exercising. I was planning on going to bootcamp after work today but I was so tired so me and my little one took a short nap and I didn't wake up in time to go. Tomorrow is a new day and I plan to get back on track but it was great spending 5 days with my family in Texas.2 -

@LuluLovinLife~ You did it! A good Monday of choices and being present. Good for you for sticking with your plan despite your partner’s lack of support. I totally know how it feels. It makes it that much harder, but also rewarding! Good job today! As far as alcohol, I for sure made a choice a long time ago to eat my calories. It was especially easy when some of my favorite adult beverages were 200-500 calories. Every now and again, I’ll have a bloody mary or a 65 calorie beer. Anyhoooo…. Being active (while taking on the phone- 2fer!) and mindful…. You’ll see the results and feel them too. You’re doing great. And thanks for the support! Today, I’m posting first; then it will be an upper body workout with weights before 8 am. We got this!!
@jupdyke~ Thanks for the “Atta girl!” I am looking forward to my upper body workout this morning! And right back atcha!! Hope your a.m. workout is just as great as your awesome Monday! Back in the gym after vacation… that’s the way… uh-huh uh-huh!!
@skullsandskeletons~ Monday-Monday! Yeah yeah! You are also are back at it! Thanks. It seemed to take a while, but here I am. We can do it!! We got this!
@Jactop~ drats. What can we do to help? Remember, you’re not doing this alone. Let’s get back to our good basic habits and shed those lbs! I know you want to. And I know you know what you have to do. So let’s do it… together!
@ajaia2001~ Welcome back. I’m so glad you go to visit family. You did really good in making sure that you tracked, even while on vacation. Your Tuesday will have you back to your normal routine... Kicking it at boot camp (& the stairs?) Look forward to your posts.
@klilev~ Awesome Monday!! Sounds like a great week is in store for you! Great attitude! All the elements of our team mind… RUN. TRACK. MIND. Yeah, you!
@Kate_X4~ Great Monday! You’re doing it. Put a water bottle or cup in a spot at home or work where you pass often. Mine is by the coffee pot. Take a sip every time you pass it. I find that when I get up from my desk or couch I make myself go by it to take another drink and then again before I sit back down. Before I know it.. 16oz gone. I also have water with me no matter what I am drinking, then I am sure to at least drink 1 water to 3 sips of coffee. I drink water with meals to help fill me up and then green tea (which I dilute and count as water) between meals. You’ll find a way to make it into a habit.
Find motivational mugs to drink from to encourage and inspire you to do what you know you need to do to be successful on your journey. My morning mug is a Christmas mug…. “Believe!”“Believe in yourself!”
If pretending is too weird, hard, or odd; then KNOW that I believe in you. I’m in your corner. When you doubt yourself hear or imagine these words: “I can do it! I believe that I can do it. I believe.” Start and end your day with those words and say them to yourself… face to face in the mirror. That 3-second conversation with yourself will be powerful!
Where are some of our other usual daily posters? We miss you, care about you, and want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. We're in this together... we need you and you need us. That's what this teamwork is all about. How was your Monday? Hope to hear from you:

Awe, thanks @johicks. Funny, after reading that, but before the 'we miss you' bit, I was regretting not posting last night, as I miss you little notes! I didn't write, because there's just nothing particularly interesting. Anyway, here goes:
Daily mini report Monday
Run: no, rest day.
Track: yes, over but only just.
Mind: still going strong.
See? Boring....2 -
I am here too🙂.
Exersize no
Track yes, wasnt good
A stress full day yesterday, dealing with work.
So much red tape to get through. Still have to do more stuff for it today.
But so far my head is in the game and hopefully I’ll be busy enough to stay that way today.
Thanks for calling my name out.
I needed that

@Perla4686 ~ Glad you posted. To me... BORING is a good thing. It means that you had a drama-free, fairly easy, on track day! AND... I think it's motivating for those that don't post to see the consistency of those reporting daily, and then see the weekly weigh-ins show the success. PLUS... it's important to be accountable. It's a great habit so that on the days you don't "feel" like it, you will come to post your bad day too. Then hopefully nip whatever it is in the bud and stop it from snowballing. I NEED to learn this and do better at it.
@wander216~ I'm glad I did tag you so you would post. I hope today goes better for you. Stress is hard for me to control and not stress-eat. Just remember water helps fill your belly and distracts. Hope you get a chance to get up and walk away from the stress work to take a few deep breaths. Glad you posted!

Monday I was at a birthday party and although I did have a piece of cake I was pretty good overall. Didn't log, but really don't think I overdid it. I didn't exercise, but did have a ton of running around to do before the birthday party, so got lots of steps in. No late snacking last night. Hope to be back on track for logging and exercise today.0

@Terry111330 - Good job on being in control at the birthday party. Being mindful is a key and awesome on no LNS!! 0

Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: a bit over
Day: The weather was crazy here in DC to start the week back from holiday. Flash flooding, torrential downpours, the works. I was soaked by the time I got to the office and the walk from the metro is only 5 minutes AND i had an umbrella! Happy Monday! lol Other than that a normal day. Baked twice over the holiday weekend, so ended up having one of the gingerbread cupcakes I made which put me a bit over my normal calorie goal and way over my 1200 calorie goal I set for myself. I've decided to abandon that plan and just stick with my normal calorie goal and try to stick to that on the days Mom and sister are here this week.
Luckily BF brought the rest of the baked goods to his office to share the love and the calories and won't be tempted by the treats the rest of the week.
@johicks Good idea! On Friday we are all going to a concert and our tickets are for standing room, so we will be standing for a couple of hours and dancing along so that will be some good, light, fun exercise to start off the weekend. I'll have to see if they want to do anything lightly active on Saturday! Maybe some sightseeing depending on how hot it is.1 -
Love all the support from this group!! Thanks for keeping me motivated, smiling and working on a healthier happier self!!2
