Thanks @swauters - I’m getting there with some more consistent runs.
@cmhubbard92 I’m tired just reading your post about the sleepless night and the 6am start! Hope you managed to get your steps in while staying relatively cool.
@Coral333 it was a rough day, but i made it happen!

I need to get my head back in the game.
I have a plan for the week:
M/W/F = weights plus cross training (rowing, biking, elliptical) plus 10,000 steps
T/Th/Sat = interval run training plus 10,000 steps
Sun = 10,000 steps
My weekly goal: stay under my calories every day plus 8 glasses of water
I need to remember my "Do it for"s
Do it for the Hell no! I will not be diagnosed with Diabetes
Do it for Wanting to see my grandchildren grow up
Do it for Silencing everyone who thinks I can't
Do it for wanting to be a hot AF 50 year old grandma
Do it for ME
What are your "DO IT FOR"s?
Yes @swauters this sounds like an intense but great plan and I love your “do it for’s”🥳 Can’t wait to read how you get on - particularly with run club! 🏃🏼♀️
My “do it for’s”
Do it so I can keep running around after my daughter without getting tired
Do it so I won’t be “high risk” in my next pregnancy just because of BMI
Do it so I look good as a bridesmaid next year for my sister and friend
Do it because I know how good it can feel!

I am changing my under status. Based off of the food I had today I assumed in advanced I would end up way over(chips, cookies, and a Boston cream donut), but managed to stay under today(~1700 of 1850 allowed). Tomorrow is supposed to break our heat wave and I can't wait! I'm sweating just sitting still, it just feels gross(~95% humidity the last few days)

Friday is my last day at work. I will have a week between then and starting at my new job(let's hope everything stays as planned). I will be moving in the process, so I'm a little overwhelmed right now(still waiting on the final paperwork). So, for this week I am focusing on hitting the gym for each work day, staying under my goal, getting enough sleep, and not letting my anxiety get the best of me!2 -

It's my birthday today and I'm celebrating with a loss, which partially makes up for the lack of chocolate cake and fizz this year.
Last weight : 161 Ibs
Today's weight: 158 Ibs
Loss this week: 3 Ibs
The accoutability to this group is really keeping me on track. Moments when I'm weak, I remember that I will have to state any blips to this group. Most of the time, this is enough to reset my thoughts. Thanks all. And as it's a new week, best of luck everyone with meeting your own personal goals. Mine is to continue my weight loss so that I can fit into my wedding gown in November and have a low enough BMI for reconstructive surgery (post mastectomy) in the new year. Carrie xx4 -
Have a very Happy Birthday Carrie! Great weight drop! You can do it.1

Ugh, guys, I went off the deep end this week. I mostly tracked, although it may not have been as accurate as I usually try to be. I also stuck with my workouts (4 days of running and the other 3 walks), but I had treats every day, overate, and had a few different days where there were events or family parties that I ate at. I'm up a few pounds since I last weighed on Friday, although my weight fluctuates like crazy due to sodium, so that probably accounts for some of it. I think that this is the first week since I started this group in April that I haven't logged the mini challenge. I just wanted to vent. I'm within 10 pounds of my goal weight, and I have a few summer outfits that I would love to wear that don't quite fit right yet. I need to get it together and stop shoving chocolate into my mouth. Thanks for listening, loves! Here's to a better week.4

@Caronell, I hope you had a very happy birthday, Carrie!! A three pound loss and being out of the 60's would have gone a long way to ensuring that!! This group may be helping you, but you are also helping yourself by keeping your "whys" in the forefront of your mind!!1 -
I’m going to get back to accountability this week. I let the fact that I couldn't get on the message board and work being tough be an excuse. That’s the past, good days and bad days will happen. I need to lose 1.13 lbs a week to get to my vacation goal.
My small goal for the week is to get back to the gym. At least 3 times, but hopefully more.2
