@cre804 definitely counts! I also have a foam roller and I love it. I can’t say I always like it since it can find some pretty painful spots and knots, but it works. I’ve been lazy with mine and haven’t really been using it unless I get a facet joint lock in my spine and need to manipulate it out. It would be a lot better to use the roller regularly and not get joint locks in the first place.

@Beka3695 SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?!? As in closer to thousand than zero? You’re motivating me to join your challenge as well. We should empty the pantry and freezer anyway so moving in December would be easier with less stuff to carry.

Sorry about late report for June, but site was down when I tried a cooker of times. Last Thursday 6/25 weigh in:

PW 133.6
CW. 132.0

I have a feeling much of this was correction from a prior bad week and salt/ water.... but I'll take it.

I really am working on this "most of the time"...weekends are super tough to be good. We live on a lake and entertain, eat and drink our way through Fri-Sun. Then back to business Mon... logging foods, exercise and watching what I eat. 😒

Me too girl! I bank calories during the week so that I can enjoy my weekends with the fam : )

SURPRISE CHALLENGE

As I said, I have some challenge ideas for you guys. Here's the first surprise challenge: try something new in the world of fitness, activity and exercising!

It could be something bigger like trying a new sport or group fitness class, or something as small as taking a new route on your walk or doing new stretches during the workday. Anything you feel like trying.

If you want to take part in this challenge, just do it and let us know how it goes. Who knows, maybe you find your new favorite this week!

Love this! My exercise routine has become almost non existent in the last couple of weeks..... today I have a lighter work day so pledge to do a new workout today. I got a new Fitbit last month so have 3 months on premium and keep promising myself to try out more of the features...... today is the day!

@kilobykilo today will be a better day! Let us know how the workout goes. I also have a Fitbit and haven’t really tried the extra features and workouts.

I’m going to try to do my own challenge more than once this week.

Yesterday I had planned on going to the gym but when the time came, I felt like sitting on my butt and playing on my phone instead of working out. I went anyway because I had carried my gym gear with me all day. I didn’t do my actual workout, but after a warm-up walk/jog I tried a new ab training machine and figured out how to set it correctly for my height so I can implement it to my routine later when I feel like actually doing the routine. My routine is planned by my trainer and includes a similar machine anyway, so this was long overdue. I didn’t really like this machine compared to the one at my previous gym, but it will do. Then, I hopped on a stationary bike for the first time in maybe 5 years. Technically not something new, but still very new to my routine. It was the kind where you sit on a chair and pedals are in the front, so extra comfortable for pedaling while playing on my phone. As a result, the workout was surprisingly good and I stayed there for half an hour and got a 200 calorie burn despite not wanting to go at all.

I rewarded myself with a specific frozen pizza I’ve been craving for a week for some reason, and it wasn’t even good. Meh.

On the more positive side, my weight is finally shifting and trendweight going down! Hoping for a nice number this week.

I hope it's ok I do my weigh in a day early, tomorrow is Canada Day here so I know I might not be able to control cals. I would like to log my weight as end of June and start fresh July.

Weigh In Wednesday - tomorrow but today lol...

I hope to do better this month. I say it every month, though. LOL. Happy new month to everyone!

So Chinese takeout happened tonight. Baby had vaccinations today and he is soooo not happy. We opted for easy.

My daughter looked at me like I was growing a horn out of my forehead when I started weighing my food. But... I weighed and didn’t overeat and I am completely satisfied. My meal was under 500 cal and my overall cals (before exercise) are under for the day, too.

Taking the time to weigh my food resulted in a 485 cal meal. Had I eyeballed it - I’m sure I would have easily eaten 8-900, maybe 1000 calories AND I would be miserable.

Changing mindset takes a while. Keeping it takes FOREVER! I remember having this same thought when I was losing before. I have got to remember how easy it is to regain if you don’t continue to practice the skills that made you successful to start with.

My vacation trip plans were finalized yesterday. I’ll be out of town from Saturday 18th to Sunday 26th, missing two weigh-ins. I will try to post an early weigh in on Saturday 18th to cover the 19th and a late weigh-in on Monday 27th to cover the 26th.

We’re going sailing in the archipelago for a week, and spending one day and night in the seaside city of Turku. I have visited the city countless times and have several friends there, but it’s always been just hanging out at their houses, so I’ve never really gotten to know the city.
