For 6/6-6/9

30 minutes of activity every day-Strength class, gardening on Tuesday enough for 3 days.
Something fun every day-Camping prep, volunteer work at a summer camp, hosted a girls happy hour and one of my sons came for dinner. It's been a good week.
Today's specific goal-complete my self imposed work deadline
Monday weigh in was 165.5, not bad for after camping and a picnic.

Another good day of choices of eating. When will that scale move?

I feel as if I’ve been walkind sideways, all day.

Started my new job Tuesday, it’s going really well but there are train strikes next week and I can’t work from home so am now wondering if this is going to work out. I shall have to see how it goes! The job is great and the people lovely, it’s just the travel that could be an issue if we start having regular strikes here again.

No exercise at all for me, I’m getting home around 6.30pm and after doing things I need to do like washing there’s just no time. This may improve once I get into a settled routine. In the meantime I do have a bit of walking on my journey and I can always get out at lunchtime and have walk then. So it may just be a matter of doing a different workout routine, more walks during the week.

Glad to be back and Thank you @baconslave for this thread. Great support here!
Mary from Pennsylvania 65 now, Heaviest weight 255 lbs twice. :-(

UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.

My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. For challenges my official weigh in day is Sunday. I weigh daily.

5/1/22-158.8 lbs
6/1/22-152.2 lbs

6/5/22-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!

Missed last week's post. Been busy but have been logging daily.

For 6/20-26

30 minutes of activity every day-30 min strength Monday, 2 hour bike ride this morning
Something fun every day-on a work deadline so have been quite tired each night. Took the whole fam out to dinner for hubby's bday though.

Today's specific goal-split and grill a small whole chicken on the bbq.

This morning weigh in was 169 I am back on logging and being more controlled today. Sometimes i need a true break. Now that I've had one, I can get back to business.

6/26/22-154.4 lbs :-) Did 190 minutes today on my Elliptical (Did a Elliptical Marathon on Tuesday this week, 26.25 miles straight through-372 minutes, second time at least) and 120 minutes on the riding lawn mower. I've been the same weight for 4 days now. I was hoping for a smidge of a drop. :-(

Weight up a little bit. Routine has been off all week due to preparing for a minor procedure to break up kidney stones. Had that done yesterday and glad to get back to a routine of the supplements I have been taking. I take Ginger and Turmeric. I think they really help me but was not allowed to take them for a week prior to surgery. I guess over the next few days and maybe weeks I will be passing broken kidney stones, which is painfully but not as painfully as whole 7mm up to 10 mm stones.

Getting a total of around 30 minutes asking each day as part of my journey to my new job. So although this month hasn’t gone to plan and I’m not doing the workouts I really want to do, at least I have been getting some activity in each day!
