YesX three. Today was my first day meeting with a trainer after some conditions allowing us to meet in her home for a session. Masks worn/ disinfecting everything. I had been meeting her to help with learning how to lift safely with some injuries I have. It took me a reallllly long time to get up to those lifts and now we are starting all over again with body weight exercises. It’s extremely frustrating. I feel like it is back and forth all the time. But then again a few months ago I was having major mood swings and really suffering from almost like a shock depression. Seeing and being in Asia from the start of this whole covid thing has been awful. I can’t express enough how horrified Ive been seeing something coming and not being able to do a thing about it. Unfortunately my work background and education in healthcare left me terrified for everyone’s wellbeing. I know a lot of people are experiencing struggles right now and each day is difficult. I’m still struggling but my major non scale victory is the emotional stabilization that comes with regular exercise and healthy eating.

Yes to all three. 30 minute jog.

Hard to think it's past the halfway point. It's been really surprising how quickly that time has gone and it's been nice having that accountability - I've definitely done some exercise on days I wouldn't have and it's given me time to think twice before picking up a chocolate bar as it'll only put me 100 calories over and that's nothing...

Yes x three - a nice long walk with a friend, and calories (just) under goal. I am really appreciating this reminder to make myself get outside for some exercise each day, I always feel better for it.

I really feel for all the people struggling out there right now. I'm having good days and bad days but trying to take it all a day at a time. Today was good.

It's been a very busy month. I missed this group. But I have been able to maintain some habits from this group.

Yes. 4 mile walk, yoga, and resistance training. Yes to calories in spite of celebrating our anniversary. Yes to tracking. It was another lovely day here in southern New England.

70 mins Exercise
Under calorie goal
All tracked

1️⃣ Pass Day left

Yes x3
No alcohol day so filled that hole with bread pudding from a local takeout place.

Yes, it's interesting how you adjust to new things. I'm now in great daily-80-minute-walk-shape and good with calisthenics, but would probably be sore were I able to return to parkour.

Yes, yes, and yes. It was a good day.

My latest NSV is fitting into 34 waist Levis, first time since high school! And that was a very long time ago. Last year I was wearing size 62 pants, big change. When I start to put the new Levis on I can't believe my body will fit into such small pants.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yep! 43 minutes of pilates focused on the booty and HIIT cardio. 63 minutes of walking too.

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yep! I did eat back most of the exercise calories.

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!

My NSV: I’ve been measuring myself too and I’ve lost a couple of inches this month already. I’m also finding joy in going on longer walks and my feet don’t feel as tired as they have in the past.

Yes times three.

@RangerRickL Thinking of you and your family during this time.

@rstanford3 happy anniversary!!!

Exercise - Yes - walk around the neighborhood with husband and cat. Trying to get kitty used to hiking for our cross-country (USA) road trip in the fall! She's doing great.
Tracked - Yes - kept mental tally all day and officially logged in the evening
Calories - Yes, plenty to spare

Halfway through the month and only one pass day used so far! I'm pleasantly surprised. Thanks all for the accountability! I love reading these posts each day - although we're all very different, we are all the same.
