OK, @mari_moulin, you've convinced me to give it a try. I'll join the June Step Challenge. The 5 minute = 500 steps convinced me that I might be able to do this. And, I need to feel back in control of something. Since I can do my walking in 5 min chunks only, I'll just have to push myself to get in 4 chunks each day. And, need to get back to drinking more than 8 glasses of water each day. Thanks for the push ... off to do my first 5 min!!

Weigh In Day -- Saturday, May 30, 2020
SW - 308.6
LW - 292.1
CW - 291.2
It's been difficult to get my "healthy" head back on straight. But, at least I'm back on a downward trend!
Well done with this weeks loss! The important thing is to not stop. We all have our moments where it gets difficult and our head isn’t in the right place but just keep pushing forward. You are doing so good!
Gotcha!

Last post for May!
Saturday May 30 weigh in
May SW: 317
May 9: 311.6
May 16: 304.4
Last week, May 23: 304.6
This week, May 30: 300.2
So close!
I’ll be into the 200s for next week for sure (right?!). But I’m happy with my progress and happy to be exercising again as well. I did 7 walk/jogs of 3 miles or more this week. I finished the month with more than 60 minutes of planking. And I started true jump rope challenge. It feels good to get a bit more active. And I’m looking forward to continuing until I reach my goal. And I’m thinking about other goals as well. I once upon a time dreamed of doing a triathlon. Maybe this year I’ll actually sign up for one. I don’t want to get ahead of myself though. Right now I still need to work on basic fitness and improving my diet. I still love to eat tons of pizza every chance I get! Anyway thanks for making my first month in the f2f challenge a success everyone. Here’s to a happy, healthy June!

Current: 210.5
Almost done with my move...I did do a LOT of sweating in the yard today trying to get the weeds under control, so that was a good start. Also had to use a hack saw to cut up a bunch of metal that needed to go out with the trash but originally didn't fit in the bin...that was an arm workout!
I am sorry I didn't help the team this month. I do think next will be better. There's a lot of stress in the world everyone; stay safe.2 -
Steps:
Saturday, May 30: 6 478
Weigh-in:
Username: Piqueaboo
Weigh-in week: last day of the month
Weigh-in day: Sunday
May Start Weight: 195.6
Previous weight: 196.4
Current weight: 195.2
May Loss: -0.4lbs
Total Loss to date: -53.8lbs
Wanted to do the final weigh-in. This month has been a rollercoaster so to speak (May highest weight was 199 and lowest weight was 193), but I came out with a (tiny) loss and a huge learning on what I can do to improve. I've been bouncing around the same 5lbs for the whole quarantine despite working out and eating at a deficit, and finally accepted that alcohol is not my friend - I switched to alcohol-free beer and dropped 3lbs. I realized that working out is actually not the devil and now get in 30-60 minutes every day, and still have plenty of time for other things. I learned that running and the exhaustion is mainly in my head, my body is fine to continue.
Here's to June!2
