Sorry this opening is comparatively late, but I wanted to include all the overnight posts.

Today is the last day of the month and I’m just keeping the opening post simple and easy for me to get tomorrow’s June 1st post right.

Here is the current winner’s circle status. Bravo all!

I think that wraps things up for May.
Looking forward to Joining you all in June.

Went over on food but it’s my first day back on the mats so the extra energy was needed. Good to be back training although the first few sessions are always tough after a couple of weeks off. Happy to note it was no worse than usual despite the cause being COVID. Made reasonable food choices so ok with the extra amount I consumed.

3 yes

8/3

Slowly getting better. I think I have tackled the reason I have been binge eating more often and seem hopeless in following a food plan. This month was a good test and I hope for a better month next month

Finally decided on my reward for hitting 40 lbs lost. I bought a framed print for myself (and then bought a 2nd because um that's 20 lbs 2x 😂. ).

This is the reward one: Maria by Michael D. Doyle


and this was the bonus piece : La Femme Forte by Rob Blackard


I'm now 5 lbs away from a healthy BMI and might get an original piece from a female artist that I like for that large milestone.

Exercise: Went for a leisurely walk this morning in Central Park as the rain finally stopped.
Tracked: Yes
Calories: Yes

May 31

Exercise: Yes

• 16 mins Yoga
• 45 min Run
• 14 mins Strength

Calories: Yes (under)
Tracked: Yes (everything)

Pass Days: 1/3 (14th)

It's going to be an interesting week here at home with all schedules temporarily suspended. I took the week off while all the kids are off of all school, etc. One goes back to their regular school program next week, the other starts summer school in two weeks. So things will be a lot easier after this week because of that, plus getting back to a regular home/work schedule.

I was able to fit in all 3 of my scheduled workouts (yoga, run, strength) today when things seemed calm enough. I wasn't able to fit in a walk outside, but that one is not technically a scheduled workout, just a way to boost my step count and get some quiet time (with added calorie burn and leg recovery as bonus).

I did change how I executed my strength workout to save time. I did 3 circuits going straight from push-ups to lat pull-downs to palloff press with a 3 minute recovery between circuits. It turned a 32-ish minute workout into a 14 minute workout which worked up a good sweat and burn. I may even do it that way somewhat regularly.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 60 minute trail run/walk in the morning, and a 60 minute trail walk in the evening.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Day #12 75 Hard Challenge completed.

A nice quiet day off back to work tomorrow but a short week however sometimes you pay in the long run. Tracked logged exercised

Yes yes and yes.

Made it! Thankfully I did an Essentrics workout first thing this morning. My daughters anniversary is today so I have her 4 and 5 year old girls so they can have a day out. I took the girls to the zoo, we hit 2 big playgrounds, and now they’re tucked into bed. I’ll be there soon myself.

Yes x3
