    Happy Sunday Funday team!! Today I went for a nice slow walk with a friend of mine. It was nice to slow down and enjoy my time with my friend and the nice fresh and sunny outdoors. She surprised me by giving me a new fitness trampoline that I plan on doing when I can’t go out for my runs. (Rainy days).

    Today we’ve been invited to a friends for a BBQ. I will try my best to stick to protein and veggies although I think I may have a beer. I had a smoothie for breakfast and may have one for dinner to keep my calories down for the day. I need to be very mindful of what I eat today I’d i want to come out of the weekend at maintenance.

    Wishing you all a blessed Sunday ❤️

    Hello Everyone! I would def like to join the step challenge of 10,000 steps per day. I have been walking and riding my bike in our neighborhood during the stay at home order. My main problem is over eating! Esp since I'm at home so much and not able to go to the gym. Tried to workout with Youtube videos for the first month but sort of lost interest as the quarantine continued. Being outside seems to help my mood a great deal. Restaurants are starting to open in our area so hopefully the gyms will follow soon. Im an RN (not working); married for 34 years. 2 single sons; 1 at home. I'm hoping joining this challenge will help with my accountability and commitment! Thanks! :)

    Welcome!! I’ve added you in for the step challenge. I do hope our group and team can help you reach your goals. We will do our very best to keep you motivated.

    Saturday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 30 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Steps 5/30 9,381

    I went a little over my calories yesterday but this is the best weekend I have had food wise in awhile. My weight was up .8 of a pound this morning and I think that had more to due with the sodium I had yesterday.

    I ended up going over a short walk yesterday. I had to get out of the apartment for awhile. I actually walked to the bookstore and giant tiger. I am really tired of the restrictions of the pandemic but we are in the first stage of opening so there’s hope.

    I am a little late going out for my walk today. It’s Sunday so we can be slow. I am hoping to do 5 km today.

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 5 km minimum
    2. Stay within calorie goal
    3. Drink 8 cups of water

    WEIGH IN WEEK ONE
    Wbs2020
    PW: 168.9
    CW: 167.0
    5’3, age 52

    Hello Team! I’m looking forward to this month long challenge and hope it will reinforce new habits. I’m trying to limit processed foods and focus on moving more. I was surprised to see the scale this morning as it hasn’t even been a full week since my last weigh-in!! I don’t have a step tracker so I won’t be participating in the step challenge other than to offer support to those who are rockin it! Today’s exercise is 1 hr at the gym with Tabata, weightlifting and a WOD.
    DAILY GOALS:
    6 days/wk of exercise
    Meet calorie targets

    Hi Everyone
    The last week of May was definitely a busy one for me and unfortunately posting got pushed to the side. I get bad migraines with high heat and humidity so it was not fun! I am back on track now and am committed to posting post days and tracking all food throughout June. I just need to figure out how to wake up earlier so I can exercise before all the humidity comes.
