I’m back after yet another hiatus😬 fortunately only found five new pounds over the last six months.... had some injuries - some PT for the hip, a knee strain and tennis elbow to boot! But getting back into the swing with swimming again and reintroducing my old rollerblading routine. See how this goes into the two month lead up to turning 50! 😅

Happy June!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, went to a park with the lofty goal of walking 3 miles and ended up doing 4.5 miles. It was an out-and-back trail, and I admit I was happy to finally get back to my car as I'm not used to walking so far yet.

Happy first day!
I'm a yes x3 for day 1.
Ran 5.5 km on my lunch break, walked 30 min on my coffee breaks, and even logged the pb&honey I licked off the knife after making my kid's sandwich

Editing to say my goal for the month is simply to keep tracking for the full month. I've tried a few times since my break and it's really hard to get back into it!

Tracking: yes
Calories: under

• Treadmill: Speed Interval 30 min / 1.59 mi
• Pool (walking around and dog paddling) 52 min
• After dinner walk 26 min / 1.47 mi

Passes used: 0/3

Today was a rest day so I did the Speed Interval program on the treadmill. Even though it's 30 minutes it includes a 5 minute warmup and a 5 minute cool down part of which is so slow it doesn't even record on my watch as moving. So I only got credit for 22 of 30 minutes. And total distance is a little less than I normally do in 30 minutes but instead of being a steady 18.4 minute mile that I typically use it ranges from 15-23 using four different speeds. I think 23 is too slow but I also can't go faster than maybe a 13 minute mile because otherwise I'll end up with knee pain. I have a few custom programs on my treadmill so eventually I'll program one to keep the range a little tighter.

I also played with the swim workout on my watch while in the pool and it says I did 375yds with a breakdown of Mixed (32yd), Freestyle (128yd) and Breaststroke (216yd). I am assuming it bases it on arm movement. I don't take it very seriously though as the active calories seem way too high to me.

My glutes and thighs are quite sore today from the Legs II workout yesterday. Probably from all of the squats I did.

June Goals:

1. Do NOT exceed 3 passes
2. Lose enough weight to be <120 and stay there (today I was 121.5)
3. Follow recomp routine without fail
4. Weigh daily so I can monitor caloric intake and recomp routine (calories may need adjusting)
5. Close all three rings of Apple watch 28 of 30 times (this is the June Challenge the app gave me)

@RangerRickL
I am thinking of you & Rose as you go through this physically & emotionally challenging time. I know you will keep some of your favorite personal items for your new place! One tip: photograph the items that you give away, especially bulky ones — then you still can revisit them if either of you wish.

My Best,
Maddie 🌸

3xyes. My main goal is to report every day for this UAC. Baby steps.

@_JeffreyD_ Great to see you back with such a perfect goal. I’m a HUGE fan of baby steps. They definitely work!

Not reporting, I find, is usually related to my feelings. I let myself down or didn’t log my last meal prior to eating & find I’m over, etc.

If it’s really tough, I post it the next day when I’m less bummed out about it. But usually, I just remind myself that large part of longterm success is Self-Kindness.

You’ve got this!

Well, for me, the month did not start out as I would like. Had the whole day sorted out with us spending time with MIL hanging pictures in her new condo, and she was cooking us a planned healthy dinner. Was going to be home in time for a run/walk or indoor bike.

As we are leaving she wants us to take biscotti she made. I said I need to be careful and we take a few, just enough for hubby and I to have one here and there. Then she wants he to take sweets to "put in the freezer" for our grandson. She had made them for my nieces children who never came by to visit, She was feeling bad about that, so I allowed those sweets to come home. That did not end well. But I could still get my exercise right? Got dressed, sat on the couch to look at something and woke up after midnight with my running shoes still on.

So, no exercise, no apple ring, tracking not complete, and calories over, and used my first pass, all on day 1.

No x 3, passes = 1

Yes x 3 - Easy for me this week as I'm on vacation. I can bike and swim as long as I want earlier in the day while I still have energy lol. Goals for this month: UAC & add some weights to the routine. I have never done weights in my life so this will be another huge change. But it's been a year of huge changes for me, so may as well add another one Baby steps though, will stick to 1 simple exercise routine for arms.

Good luck to all as we start a new month and challenge!
