Morning training session with friends. I suspect my shoulders are going to object tomorrow, plus evening Jiu Jitsu class and work covered my exercise for today.
Food was good as I stuck to the plan although I was way under budget as I chose not to have the yogurt and berries snack I planned for after evening training.
Hmm, I don’t think I have a favourite quote. Or at least not one I can think of now.9 -
Exercise yes, a long bike ride, but not strenuous, mostly along a canal. We saw a family of geese and another of swans.
Tracking, yes. We're away in the motorhome, all today's meals were pre planned.

- What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.
I'll spoiler these two since they are specific to marathons. I don't want to clutter the thread with a topic many may not be interested in or find helpful, and certainly don't want anyone mistaking these as my encouraging people to go run marathons (unless you already want to). I find a deep resonance in them and will share them since it's the question of the day.The marathon's about being in contention over the last 10k. That's when it's about what you have in your core. You have run all the strength, all the superficial fitness out of yourself, and it really comes down to what's left inside you. To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon.
At mile 20 I thought I was dead.
At mile 22 I wished I was dead.
At mile 24 I knew I was dead.
At mile 26.2 I realized I had become too tough to kill.8 -

One of my favorite motivational quotes:
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right” — Henry Ford
“You can either have results or excuses not both” — seen at the gym
Exercise: Yes! 15 min Chloe Ting shred, 23 min Zumba
Track: Yes!
Under calorie goal: no... not sure what happened... tired, mindless eating... I find I really need to get my head in the zone and focus to keep on track... and sometimes that takes more energy and self-control than I can muster.
Thankfully tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start and I’m only down one pass so far.

This is a pass for me. This might be a bad month. My AC still hasn't shipped yet 😓 and it's 90 here. I just can't. Calories✅. Tracked✅. Exercise❌. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week and bring the temperature down, so fingers crossed.
Favorite quotes: Don't dream it, do it. (I can daydream about the future forever, so this is a good one for me). If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.10 -

Favorite motivational quote? Can't narrow it down, but this one really hit home to me:

Exercise: 45 min strength class. It was killer. I really need to do more stretching and yoga. My hamstrings hate me. Hate. Detest. The poor things. Now… how do I make myself like yoga? Lol. Calm and slow isn’t really my scene. 🤔

You were honest with yourself and are recognizing potential areas to improve. That is being accountable and can be a big step to being able to make 3 yes days more of a habit.tryingtoloveme97 wrote: »I guess i really suck at being accountable.9 -
I’m loving these quotes. I need to write some down for the future. I’ll add this one:
“Stop lying to yourself. When we deny our own truth, we deny our own potential.”

Not really a quote but more of my mantra for life - be comfortably uncomfortable.
Tuesday, June 8
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes, hike - 55 min.
I was so proud of myself on my hike. I sprinted up a really steep part then cut over and came down a really rocky, root filled, treacherous trail. As I activated my core and glutes with each step down, I thought “good on you - way to go.” Then I heard the pounding. I grabbed ahold of a tree as a 25 or so year old boy came SPRINTING DOWN that rocky, root filled, treacherous trail. He was like a gazelle leaping and flying through the air. I had very unkind thoughts toward him until I remembered that I was more than twice his age. Then I had to admit that there was no way on earth I could have done that even when I was his age. I was then quite content that I could feel my core and glutes at all and asked the universe for forgiveness for my unkind thoughts toward gazelle/boy.

I did well all day - I even pre-logged my dinner and switched out a couple things at the last minute to stay under..... but the ice cream late tonight was waaaay too much! But at least I finished it off, so it wont be here to tempt me the rest of the week! 😥6 -
