@micki48 and @jugar can I please be back on the board for steps for July?
I have my work back to normal now so lots of steps during the day 🤭
Also when is the deadline to post steps for the week? I would prefer to post a photo as a proof, because I do quite a lot, but I don't mind posting my steps every night if that's easier?

01 July steps 16,020
02 July steps 20,032

Thank you Team ♥️

watch out! look at those numbers

And speaking of numbers, Happy Birthday even if it is a day late, @YinxFed !!!! It sounds like you had a fabulous day, and that was much deserved! All the cheery and happy energy is much appreciated

Turned my back on my zucchini plants...
Always tempting to ignore the zucchini plants but then, one ends up with submarines!
Are you in an area where you can get tested for C-19? Vermont has “pop-up” testing sites and gets people tested quite quickly. We had it done 2 weeks ago. Reassuring to know more concretely.
I hope all is well.

As for the skin issues with adhesives - ouch! The last time I had to deal with it I was advised to cover the area with lotion before working on removal. It seemed to break down some of the stickiness.
Best to all.

Today is recommitment day. Should have been yesterday but it was a holiday so we pushed to today: (almost) exactly halfway through 2020, the beginning of the downhill slope to the end, now is the time to gain momentum!

As for me: 100 calories for after dinner snacks/candy per day, period. No more excuses, no more "it's only an extra 20 calories."

No more alcohol until Christmas. I actually thought I was gonna die yesterday, I guess I lost 90 pounds of pure alcohol tolerance.

Less bread, at least until I determine if the bread is hurting my stomach. Maybe I'll pick up sourdough again.

Less take out. I love Pho Friday, but its dangerous: cheap, plentiful, loaded with salt. Hard on my increasingly sensitive stomach (thanks, genetics.)

More fiber, tentatively. I'm gonna try again anyway.

More personal projects and less laziness. I need to work on my mental health and that means picking up my old projects: that book I was writing and my language learning efforts.

Anyone else doing mid-year resolutions?

Hello!

yes to the mid-year resolutions!!! This july refocussing is helping me track my progress and my adherence to healthy habits.

If you're having tummy trouble, maybe take a break from what you're currently eating. I'm coeliac and allergic to lots of other grains including corn and sugar. Check out Elena's pantry for recipes which might help your stomach: https://elanaspantry.com/

Update for 2nd July:

Steps - 4065
Exercise - 41 mins / Week 3 Day 3 / Upper & Lower Body Exercises (with weights)

Happy Friday, everyone!

I am impressed! Some great losses, re-commitment, and updates.

@CM_73 - thanks for the weigh-in, and the news. Sounds like you had some very long days. I agree, those people need to re-think their game a bit. Great loss on your part, though! And don't worry too much about your weigh-in day if you are far from a scale. As long as I get one every week by early morning on Sundays (mid-morning for you), everything is ok. Saturday night to be safe.

@Cerizez - welcome! I think we need to share recipes. I don't have coeliac, but my husband does, and I do not get along well with grains. I can get the same carbs from vegetables with no issues, but grains (with very few exceptions) do weird things. I'm more pescatarian than you are, but otherwise it sounds like your recipes are right up my alley, and anyone else who wants to try great vegan ideas. Eleven pounds to go! Soon you'll join me in the Goal Zone - our team section for those who are on maintenance and want to make sure to stay there.

@Steph1498 - don't you hate it that you need to re-commit every 6 weeks or so? Pretty normal in my experience. It is easy to start to slide, but that is one of the things that a team like this helps. The slides don't last too long, and everyone has them. We help each other keep them short and not too damaging. You are getting close too! 15 pounds to go - they are the hard ones. I love that you are lower than in 2013 now, though. WTG!

@SMcFall0215 - the July spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet for every month, always is there on the F2F main page. Just above Announcements.

@KellyBgetsfit and @happimess01 - GREAT losses! Whether it's sleep or good measuring and counting, exercise or whatever - well done!

@YinxFed I'll get your exercise posted later today - have some catching up to do...

Everyone - don't forget, along with counting steps, if you post the amount of other exercise you do in MINUTES, I then "translate" that into steps and add it to your count. I use a standard conversion chart and it helps keep those counts up if you do more biking, workouts, or whatever that does not add up on your step tracker.

Tally ho! See you all later.

I was able to tie my running shoes tighter today, and I didn't feel Achilles pain as I worked out & did errands. I hope this is a great sign.

@jugar

I've re-introduced fish, so sounds like we do indeed have the same diet.

Happy to share. : )

Yay!! I FINALLY got in. I’m not sure what was going on, but I’m back on so yay! I missed you. Just read through 45 posts.

Welcome new members! I’m right there with the extended plateau AGAIN. I need to re-evaluate and set goals. @conleywoods thanks for that great information. Sadly, it kinda feels like our bodies work against us.

@YinxFed Happy Birthday to you!! I’m glad you had a great day.

Hope no one has Covid19 and the test proves it. Glad the ship is safe and you are home. Chocolate wine—wow! Camping and summer plans. What a week.

I’ve had a GREAT stepping week. Walks, chasing a 2 y/o, gardening, painting, reorganizing a library with too many books. No Pilates though and I MISS it so much. Logging has been ok. A few days, I logged the next morning. But pretty sure I closed every day ultimately. Measuring every little thing—didn’t do as well as I would have liked, but being back on a new schedule probably was part of the reason. Time is pinched. My scale was up again one day this week. Back to last weeks weight early this am. I will weigh one more time in a few and post my official weight.

Happy Interdependence Day as I heard one news person call it. We are all in this together now more than ever. I sure hope your cases are going down where you are. Ours are going straight up. 😢

Have a wonderful day!!💞✨🤗

CW 165.3 LBS😪

My scale doesnt seem to move.... just hoping that mh July gets me in the 150s.....
