Got in a strength training session this morning-Strong Lifts 5x5. Also got in a few minutes of meditation both yesterday and today.2 -
@TheMrWobbly hello and welcome! This is my first month on the challenge and am finding it super motivating, inhale that you do, too!
I'm exactly 1900 under my step target for today and about an hour out of bed! But was 6000 under not long ago so think there's still a chance I'll make it 🤣2 -
Hi @kilobykilo good to have a fellow Brit in the team. I think I am starting this challenge in August for the team though I'm keeping my step challenge and others in the meantime.0

Steps done! Apartment more organised and a bit cleaner!
@TheMrWobbly , I won't be doing the challenge in August as I'm on holiday for the month, but looking forward to September already when I'll need it to undo the damage I'm bound to make!!!
How do you know I'm a brit, by the way?!1 -
Rough day as today was my Uncles funeral. All this happened in Newfoundland and I could not go home for the funeral. I was home for the month of June and I saw him 4 times so I will hang on to those memories. I hate that I live so far away from family at times like this.
Yesterday I met all my goals. I am having a hard time getting to the adult swim to do laps. My youngest granddaughter can now go in the deep end, so I can tread water while I am watching her. I think for now I will count the treading water as laps. My step count yesterday was 12,413.
Great job working on those goals!
@kilobykilo it varies each time how long the flare last.
@TheMrWobbly welcome to the team!
@pjshawley great job working out even when you weren’t feeling it.6 -

@kilobykilo I know how you feel having just come off the back of a 4 day party weekend. Hopefully not too bad all in all as I got plenty of steps in. We are in 'Team UK' together.1 -

I’m kind of failing this week’s challenge - haven’t done any mindfulness or strength training, and only one long walk.
But, on the upside, today my weight makes my BMI 29.86, which means I am no longer in the “obese” category, I’m in the “overweight” category. That’s a milestone reached 🤗.6 -
Well today was an exciting day. I finally adopted my dog. I ended up rescuing a senior beagle from the pound. She is 13 and her name is Molly. She should help me improve my steps.
Yesterday I went over my calories. I am really ticked at my self. I ate a lot of salty food this week so I expected it will reflect on the scale tomorrow. I did tread water yesterday and I did 7380 steps.
@kilobykilo congrats on the loss
@iamworthy14 nice loss
@Luciicul that is a great victory
How is everyone else doing with their goals?4 -

Bit disappointed, I have noticed that once I start lifting my weight loss starts to slow down or halt altogether.

It is disappointing but I know it is some water weight. I changed my calorie deficit to give me a rate of loss of 1 pound a week as I was finding I was really hungry. Maybe this is too many calories and I need to watch my sodium intake. Almost every day I was over the recommended 2300 mg of sodium intake. I will not make make my green challenge.5 -

Hi Linda. Many blessings and thanks to you for adopting a senior dog. Many of my dogs during my 60 years have been adopted seniors and they gave me such joy. It was almost as if they would thank me every day for rescuing them. Such a delight!
And don't fret over the weight. I am very sensitive to increased sodium. I ate a spaghetti meal from the Walmart deli for lunch and dinner yesterday and gained 1 1/2 pounds overnight. I try to keep my sodium below 1,800 for my blood pressure, but it is difficult with any meal that I don't cook myself. Hang in there!2 -
Goals for rest of week:
1. 30 minutes cardio every day but Sunday - oops, did not do my cardio Thursday. I am kicking myself, but must move forward.
2. Stay within calories every day - Met goal for Thursday!
3. Eat properly to keep blood glucose under 140 at daily test. Yay! Met goal for Thursday. Was a little worried about the pasta in my Walmart spaghetti meal, but it wasn't a huge amount and my blood glucose was good.3 -

This week has been a pretty hard week for me. I've had a hard time with overeating so I'm not very excited to see what my weight is tomorrow. I know a lot of my issue is due to the back pain I'm having from getting a new chiropractor. (When I dont feel very good I tend to overeat)3 -

Was able to drop the water weight despite the continued celebrations. My birthday was last Monday and my husband’s was Sunday. Our kids came in town and threw us a surprise 60th birthday party on Saturday! Trying to get back on plan this week, despite dealing with a sick doggo. She spent two nights at the vet and while home now, she’s not eating much. We fear the end is nearing. (She also had a birthday last week, her 12th) Knee is slowly improving but not totally past limping. I have a continuing education deadline next week, which always causes me too eat poorly so I’m hoping to be more focused next week.4 -
