Not doing very well, and eating all the junk. Excersize has been great but unfortunately any potential loss ruined by eating all the junk :-(
Hope this week is better ...4 -
@kellie_erin Glad to hear things with the Masters are moving forward, but I see what you mean about that making it a busy summer. Glad the job is going well and that you have found a new Orangetheory. Hopefully your new routine feels normal soon!
@BlissfulK I'm not aware that we have anyone formally doing IF in our group, let alone 20:4, but I know from the past @jugar was aware that other teams might have a few members who are doing IF... not sure if that's still the case.0 -
Helicopter eve! I'm excited for our adventure. There is a section of the Bow Valley Parkway they have closed to vehicle traffic this month as part of a 3 year pilot project for cycling. SO, after the helicopter ride Brad and I are going to do our normal Legacy Trail ride (Canmore to Banff), BUT we're going to tack on the extra section to the Bow Valley Parkway, up to Johnston Canyon, and back. It's about 92 KM total if I calculated right... definitely the longest ride I've done on the bike. AND the first time I've taken my gravel bike out on the paths, which will in some ways be better because the bike itself won't impede me in the same way the heavy mountain bike does, but then I'm not as posturally used to the gravel bike.
Soooo, adventure it shall be I think my previous long ride outdoors was 61 KM, and the max I've done indoors is about 100 KM, so this will be a stretch ride, but doable. With us normally stopping in Banff for a rest, I feel confident it'll work out as long as I'm not massively wrong about how I'll take to gravel bike. I can be stubborn as a mule though, and I have a goal, so I really hope I'm back here tomorrow advising that I completed the full distance6 -
Hi everyone, I am Mas around 35 years old living in Netherlands, I decided to join to the team as I got low mood recently due to personal issues and excercising and different activities did not help me to overcome it and it resulted in overeating. As I do not have a support for this in real world, I assume being here would definitely help me.
My weight on Saturday 15: 65kg
My First goal:58 kg
My Final goal:50kg
My main issue is legs and arms that would like to get leaner as I am short(158cm), I hope next year I have an improved version of it.

@kellie_erin Glad to hear things are going in the right direction! Sounds like you will have a full plate for awhile.
@PlaneMonkey Glad you are catching those critters!
@KellyBgetsfit I'm sorry you are not sleeping lately 😔 That can really throw things off. Hopefully you are able to get things back on track soon and have a plan for summer. I'm guessing summer break starts soon for you. You seem to get out a month or so before I do.
@EvMakesChanges Glad you are on the mend!
@lauren_989 I am definitely making a big effort to keep my exercise regular. I do eat some of those foods already so I was a little disappointed they haven't helped. I had the same number 2 years ago. I did start fish oil capsules about 3 weeks ago so fingers crossed 🤞 I think I need to do all of those things at the same time consistently to see the numbers change!
@ashleycarole86 Have fun on your helicopter trip. My husband hates heights and would be really mad to receive that as a gift😂 I hope you have nice weather with a great view!
We have been working on our well today..
Ugh. My father in law is a 20+ year stroke survivor but as a result he deals with significant anxiety and paranoia. Long story short, he is not fun to do projects like this with. Even though we caught the issue early and we have everything lined up to be repaired promptly he is basically having a nervous breakdown. We even have water but it's been a long long long day! We should have everything completed by Tuesday.
No workout today due to all of the craziness and I am really sore from my suspension trainer workout on Friday. Calories and macros were good. I knew today was going to be trying so I planned a nice dinner for my husband and I. Crab legs and side salads! So yummy but later than I planned because I couldn't get the in laws out of our house! Dinner finally at 8 PM!
Tomorrow will hopefully be mellow. I will be working out and meal planning.5 -
Happy Sunday Friends!

I am going to focus on getting protein and a variety of veggies this week. I know if I eat better, I will feel better, and everything else will get better.
You are so right - heartburn is one of the worst reminders about what we are eating You will feel much better soon2 -
Well, folks - the tallies for week 2 are done, and not too pretty. Our very own @ashleycarole86 is top winner (again!!) but otherwise we were on the gaining side of the pool, and the worst of all Let's get logging and pull out of the losing by gaining trend! We are not alone in this, so I'm rooting for all the teams to track, eat those veggies, and feel amazing soon.
Sunday and Monday weigh-ins due:

@ashleycarole86 congratulations on being the biggest loser!!! Wow, that sounds like a long ride!!! Enjoy. My new workouts our from Beachbody. I am going to do A Little Obsessed for 2 weeks, then go into 80 Day Obsession. It's a mix of weights and bands. I have done it before, but it has been awhile. Yesterday was a core workout and forgot how much I love it!!! 80 Day Obsession has several 60 minute workouts, which is hard for me during the school year.
@conleywoods you are doing so well with your diet. I am so proud of you. Hopefully the well gets fixed and your father in law can relax. I have 10 days left!!! This month has been so fun, I am really going to miss (most) of my class. We go back Aug 1st.
@jugar I ate better yesterday. I went to the store, need to do some food prep and I will be ready for a successful week.👊
@eggfreak Hugs! I know you are going through a lot.
@BlissfulK I am trying to do 16:8 right now. I have not read the latest research, but at one point, they did say it can throw a women's hormones out of each if they do more then 16 hours.2 -
@KellyBgetsfit OMG 10 DAYS!!! We have 5 weeks left with 19 work days for me. I have a couple personal days I either need to use or lose. I can't wait to be done with this year! Love the kids but am ready to move on from all of the weird program changes we made this year. Next year is already planned to have a bigger variety of classrooms so that is very good. It's always hard to say goodbye to a fun group of kids. Glad you are getting back on track. I have definitely felt better since getting back on track but it takes a lot of effort to do so when tired. You got this Kelly!2

So much news! It is great to welcome @once_mas back to our team. We'll all try to be inspiring and help you get back on track and feeling strong. We might not all be getting as strong as @ashleycarole86 - biking in the Rockies, hitting a personal record, it is going to be amazing. And @KellyBgetsfit - your workout plan also sounds fabulous.
We need to work as hard on our eating plans - of course we all know that, but it is the hardest piece to keep consistent enough to get regular results. I like @happimess01 Sam's plan to avoid unplanned binges (I like to call them free meals or days - it sounds less scary ) for a specific amount of time. Planning in a certain amount of "unwise" eating can prevent rebellion. Defining how far overboard to go in advance is smart. Not always easy to stick to, but smart!
I am having such a good time here with my daughter and her friends and horses. I have had 2 short rides on Jasper, the 3 year-old Appaloosa who might be mine in the Fall. He has only been sat on a couple of times before this week, and he is taking to being ridden like a champ. Today he trotted under saddle for the first time, and he did really well! Yesterday was the first time for riding around without being led, and starting to learn the languages of leg and hand. Of course all my daughter's work with him on the lunge and getting used to the saddle and bridle first without a rider has obviously been well done! I also rode another horse today - I'm going to be sore tomorrow for sure.
Steps are sure easy to build up here - the pastures are gigantic and often the horses are far far away! I enjoy just wandering out there to hang out with them. So here are my steps for the week:
Sunday - 9443
Monday - 11,320 + 25 Pilates + 45 exercise bike
Tuesday - 8466 + 15 Pilates
Wednesday - 9423 (travel day - ugh!)
Thursday - 15,404
Friday - 14,407
Saturday - 17,992
Birthday dinner tonight (my girl turning 30 tomorrow!) and more birthday food at home tomorrow. I had better keep walking this much...5 -
@jugar @ashleycarole86 I'd like to go on the support team (weight and steps) for a couple of weeks please. Will confirm when I'm jumping back in to normal.
I'll catch up on posts tomorrow, hope everyone has had a good weekend.4 -
