Hi all- just checking in to say that fitrocker did not sync half of my week. I got it to update, but you might want to check yours if you are doing the step challenge. I have you all beat by a mile right now! Have a happy and relaxing Sunday!

Thanks! I checked and had not synced for 3 days - and I can sometimes find our league and sometimes cannot - I literally forget how to get there, even though I have done it several times. Technology - not my jam.

Week 2 - June 2020 Sunday
PW 148 (67kg)
CW 147lbs (66.9kg)

Lost - just! I'm not really losing but maintaining.

I'm eating meals as I keep buying fresh food that needs eating.

I brought a treat of Welch's Grape juice. But i never feel like drinking it. It's been 5 days and still half the packet left. Then i feel the need to finish it. That's what it's like with food.

I need to work on my portion control again.

I ate doughnuts twice in a week as family brought it.

Thought I was eating well as last week binged on chocolate. But eating more vegetables just still big portions.

I've written this quote and stored it with my chocolate stash:
"I'm about to eat this chocolate,but I don't need it. Eating it will cause me to gain weight and hurt my health". - (Book: Atomic Habits p.66)

Didn't walk every morning as it's been raining heavily.

Drunk less coffee, only 1 cup in the morning.

GOAL
1. eat less hot cross bun for breakfast
2. Say the notice mantra before eating chocolate.

@Apple852hk Wow - feels like I could have written so much of this myself!! First - congrats on a great weigh-in! As one who deals in pounds, a whole pound looks awesome to me!! Maybe for these moments you could cuddle up to the pounds versus kilos...? Haha!!

I so have to watch the 'food is around but I get other food' thing. One of the contributing factors for me is that I eat less than I used to and it's hard to get into that mindset when shopping - like my buying has not caught up to my food life. So then I have more than I may have wanted or needed of a particular thing(s) and to not waste I have to keep eating what's around...or, you know, get something anyway. Just curious, do you experience this? And - other Slims - is this happening to anyone else?

We've also had a lot of rain and it has made the walking harder to navigate! Hoping it stays dry for a while and is one less hurdle!

I love your chocolate mantra, what a great visual from you - to YOU!! And I'm always impressed with your ability to just say - "Hey, I ate these things, they weren't on plan." I think your style of - recognize, acknowledge, assess, plan - is really smart!!!

Cheers! =>

Good afternoon! I am wrapping up my Sunday, still got lots to do. I wrote a whole post this morning that got lost. Trying this again!
SATURDAY CHECK-IN: 🟢 SUNDAY GOALS 🟡
@TeresaW1020 - Hurray for your lovely day at church and celebrating Father's Day. We look forward to cheering you on during your 8 week fitness mission!
And, yes, I'll bet Trader Joe's will have goji berries. Dried fruit section, maybe?

@Apple852hk - I am with @raleighgirl09 in saying that a 1 pound loss is exciting! So we are happy for you, though get it's not the number you were after!
I am also a big yes to as bunch of other smart things @raleighgirl09 said:

@Cornanda - Thank you for the note about the Step Challenge. I'll go post something about that separately, to make sure it gets noticed!

@trooworld -
I found this so inspiring. Yay you for indulging but keeping it reasonable, and being back on plan afterwards.

My husband's birthday dinner yesterday was delicious and we had fun. I ate a small amount of high-calorie food. I was able to enjoy myself yet not overdo it.

I am sorry to hear about the job uncertainty, and impressed at your looking to it as a chance to work on fitness until the dust settles. 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽

@cherrymajoni @2020shih @bethanie0825 - IWOW! Congratulations to all of you, being on the leaderboard this week! 🥳

@Katmary71 -

Thank you all for the support, I know I've been a lousy motivator lately.

You are welcome for the support, and @TeresaW1020 nailed it. Sometimes we all need support, and giving us the chance to support you is actually super helpful. So thanks for being here. Perfection is not required.

@raleighgirl09 - Yay for being brave even when you were skeered! You and your husband sound like such great partners!

@digger61 - It is so great to see you checking in, and we are so glad to hear you doing so well in work on your liver disease. Having taken on healthy eating, no sugar and no alcoho9l is impressive! 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽

@raleighgirl09 The peanut butter honey tortilla comes out crispy, peanut butter crisps on the outside and is nice and melted on the inside. I'm sure you could do it in the oven. It looks pretty bad but tastes amazing!

Recipe- nothing new, just used a lot of herbs today

Not sure what I did right, I did an hour longer workout because I was determined to master arms in a hip hop video. Got a lot done and while I don't feel wonderful it's better than the last few days plus I'm in a great mood. Not going over today either, I put on a bathing suit to lay outside and look awful.

@trooworld - Woohoo to the new bike seat! A seat that does not fit is indeed awful. (Speaking from painful experience! )

@Katmary71 - So SO glad things were feeling sunnier last night! Sending you all best wishes for a good mood and less pain today!

@digger61 - Sounds like you had a great day! Hoping today is one, too!

Monday
Previous weight - 137.7kg
Current weight - 137.kg

Seeing some downward movement is nice especially as the weather is starting to really get hot. I'm going to do some socially distanced garden maintenance for my grandma this week, she's got a lot of weeds in her back garden and isn't capable of doing them herself.

@TeresaW1020 --- this is my husband's Father's Day gift from the kids. It's called the "white hell" puzzle. 1000 pieces, all white on both sides, very tiny. He likes a challenge, but this is pretty crazy.

@Cornanda I love puzzles but that would be awful! I tried doing a wolf-shaped one with my nephews the other day when babysitting and it was really hard, I was the only one getting pieces so I finally challenged them to a plank competition to stop their complaining!

@AustinRuadhain @Raleighgirl09 Thank you for your kind comments!

Monday check-in
Exercise- seated dance and cardio, yoga, foam rolling.
Water- great!
Calories- under

Cardio- done
Weights- did yesterday, will do tomorrow
Yoga- done
Recipe- none planned but I invited my brother over for dinner. I'll either make something then or the next time I see the guy I'm dating, not sweating doing it every week right now, depends on if I can stand or chop stop sitting with legs elevated.
Steps- this is crazy, 16,600 LOL, at least 12,000 from seated arm cardio, the stupid hip hop video kept calling to me.

Pretty good day, I don't feel as good as yesterday but still better than a couple days ago so that's a plus, I didn't think I was going to survive those days. The farmer's market woman contacted me that they had a leftover box today and I could get the yucky stuff out of it so I went to her house to pick it up. Well, I'd worked out for 3 hours! She was really excited to give me a tour of the farm so I didn't want to hurt her feelings and did it, then at the end like 2 blocks from my car she filled up my box with at least 20lbs of stuff and plopped it in my hands. It was up a slope, I was too prideful to admit I was struggling! I was chased by a car last weekend so I ordered a bunch of self-defense stuff that's on my key chain and pulled the cord on the personal alarm getting the box in the car and scared myself half to death. That's why I decided not to get a taser after reading in the reviews that someone tased themselves! I should think twice about the pepper spray too. Chicken breasts are awesome in the air fryer, I was hoping they'd be that good!

Hope you all are doing well, I've been disconnected this last month. I traumatized myself putting on a bathing suit. I've been getting a lot of compliments and DO think I look better than I did at 122 but I look awful in a bikini! Between that and doing a quick add of 10,000 just because I hadn't eaten enough to close my diary and seeing that I'd be 100lbs more in 5 weeks eating that much (I hadn't,, did it as it made me laugh at how shocked I'd be to see that in someone else's diary) has scared me, I've done really well the last couple days. I had to pop in my night Invisilign and hide in my room but I'm under!

Monday check-in
Exercise- walking and weights
Water- good
Steps- over 16000
Calories and macros under
Tuesday goals are the same

Congratulations to all our Slimpossibles Step Challengers!

Tuesday is the day when we finalize our Slimpossibles Step Challenge for the previous week. Mondays are a grace period each week, so that anyone who has not synced up with whatever app they use to track steps, has time to do so, to get credit for all their steps on Sunday.

Our highest steppers for last week:
1 - @Cornanda with 97,579 steps
2 - @raleighgirl09 with 94,957 steps
3 - @bethanie0825 with 66,007 steps
4 - @TeresaW1020 with 35,957 steps
5 - @Jactop with 35,889 steps
Also on the move and logging some great step counts: @mrmcgrath , @KatMary71 , @lexabeep , @gwamajtw91 , @mlhopp63 , and @leonadixon !

Together we logged an astounding 536,190 steps last week! That's about 254 miles / 409 kilometers ! Go, SlimSteppers, go!🤩

JOIN THE STEP CHALLENGE AT ANY TIME! Would a step challenge would be fun and/or help you stay in motion? If so, join us!
1. Set up an account on FitRockr.com
2. Then click this link to join the challenge: https://www.fitrockr.com:443/#!/join/league/5e42db924dbe5b0001973d73/c81a3fad-1c5a-450d-aef7-6dc1a64a3e7d
3. Ping me if you have any problems getting set up. People occasionally hit a road bump getting syncing to go smoothly, but so far everyone seems to have worked it out (FitRockr is free and has a surprisingly helpful support team).

SYNCING STEP DATA You need to sync your tracker with its native app first (e.g. Misfit, Fitbit, Google Fit, Garmin, etc). Fitrockr SHOULD then automatically fetch your data from the tracker's app after a few minutes. If that's not working, we should reach out to them, as their support has been helpful in the past.

Happy and healthy stepping and moving to everyone!

Hello and Happy Tuesday-

@trooworld Soooo glad you were not having a heart attack!

Cardio 30 minutes- done

Recipe- nothing today, making that giant parm turkey meatball for dinner tomorrow night for my brother.

Had an appointment in the city and decided I'd try the stairs to see if I could do them instead of the elevator. Well, I shouldn't have done them but they were easier than the last time I did them. Came home and stupidly walked to the mailbox and back so now I'm paying for it. I probably shouldn't do the hip hop video so many times, I just re-watched his upper body only and can see why my nerves are flared up.
