@judiasverdes its actually @vegan4lyfe2012 Mantra "No Zero Day's" But I think about it every day, so I have adopted it too. Please correct me if I'm wrong but basically it means to get your but up off the couch and do something, anything besides vegging out. Move! A zero day is where you don't do anything, you don't accomplish anything, it's a wasted day. A No Zero day is where you do something, it can be simple like read a page in a book. This website sums it up really well. https://flow-e.com/blog/no-zero-days/#:~:text=A%20No%20Zero%20Day%20is%20a%20day%20when,sustains%20you%20in%20the%20quest%20of%20your%20goals.

I have read a little bit each day for the past 6 weeks. That counts towards my no Zero Day's. I have several Mantra's. Life is not Perfect! Forgive yourself! I am good enough! At the beginning of the year, we had to come up with Yearly goals, we did a lot of goal setting plus a Mantra. Since its mid-year maybe we need to go back and review them or make new goals for the remainder of the year.

@TeresaW1020 It's good to "see" you! I hope the visit went well. You have to climb out of that hole you are in, friend. It sounds like you have a good start. You've got this!

@judiasverdes We need to celebrate the wins, congrats!

@teshea69 I'm glad you joined, too! That's great you can go back to modified workouts. I hope tomorrow goes well for you and you enjoy the holiday.

@FushiaKat I think it's a great idea to have a mid-year check-in with our goals and mantras.

@Katmary71 Thank you, yesterday was only mildly better but today will surely be a winner! Do you like sci fi/fantasy? If so, I'm reading a really good (although a bit long) book, "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin, I highly recommend it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19161852-the-fifth-season

@Divya365 Welcome to the team! Great loss to start off your journey!

Hello all. I'm experiencing some depression and that isn't mixing well with my weight loss journey. I am frustrated and depressed and it isn't going well. I know it will pass but it's hard to go through while you are going through it.

My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"

Hi everyone it has been a rough couple days have been so busy with everything had my nieces for 5 days and plus my kids just lots of running around. I don't know if I am coming or going plus vehicle issues just so stressful lately! going camping this weekend for the 4th of July won't see my husband until sunday due to work schedule and camping! I have to do my workouts today I have been busy weeding the garden and my clothes are getting loose but the scale is not moving it says I gained a couple of pounds my eating habits have not been the best lately I do have to admit with having all of the kids. I just feel like a failure lately because my whole routine is off!!

@broncobuddee I've been prepping for surgery this past week and just got home from the hospital! Here is my last weigh in for June. I think I will take July off to recover. What do you need from me?

@Katmary71 Eat the rainbow challenge sounds like a great idea! I am definitely ready to get back on track.

@trooworld Yes, I feel like I’ve been in a hole but I got a good grip on the ledge and I’m coming on out! That mid-year check-in was painful since I’ve done so poorly this year. BUT the year isn’t over, is it! We both need to turn our depression around and get excited again to tackle our weight loss.

@DanielleHeitzenrater I totally understand how hard it is when your routine is off. Maybe while camping you can steal a few minutes for yourself and do some self-reflection and make a plan on how you can get back in control. First, start by doing some deep breathing and being kind to yourself.

@vegan4lyfe2012 What a wonderful July 4th you have planned! We were just talking about doing our usual which is giving the dog a pill to calm her down as we curse the neighbors for shooting off their fireworks. Your day sounds much better!!

@judiasverdes I also have control issues with food so I totally understand your frustrations. My recommendation is to eat before the party, so you aren’t hungry. Maybe get there and down a big glass of water to help make you feel fuller. Then look over the food and ONLY take things that you truly love and can’t eat all the time. Eating a bunch of chips is not a treat because you can always have chips. Eating a small slice of something homemade and decadent might be worth it to you. Most important is to decide that you will have fun at the party and not let the food control your behavior.


Hi Team! Today was good and relaxing. I did a workout this morning and then some housework. My sister and I decided to challenge each other with our dieting starting tomorrow. We will weigh in every week and the one with the biggest percentage at the end of the month will be the winner. We are still working on what the prize should be. I really LOVE the idea of No Zero Days and will make that part of my July plan. I tend to start out with all these big plans, but if I could just commit to No Zero Days that sounds so achievable.

@trooworld Thank you for the recommendation, I thought of going to where we were posting books but am having issues with my library card, just got it to work, nevermind, yay! Thank you! I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with depression, it's hard to imagine it passing when you're in it, I hope it doesn't last long. Does anything help to bring you out of it?

Mid-year goals: I'm going to start doing Eat the Rainbow, trying a new recipe each week, and doing a dance video each day so those are current ones that start tomorrow.

@DanielleHeitzenrater Sounds like you have a lot going on! I hope you have fun camping. Maybe once you get back it will be easier to get into routine? Having kids around would definitely add a huge challenge.

@vegan4lyfe2012 The fireworks show sounds exciting! I hope you all have a blast, I love being around live music. Great memory of Independence Day, I saw that in the theater too.

@leonadixon I hope surgery went well and you recover quickly!

@judiasverdes Best of luck at the party, you can always say you have dietary restrictions or allergies, I tend to do that plus I'm diabetic so I really shouldn't be eating most the stuff at parties but tend to let that be the one time I do and go back to not eating it again afterward.

@TeresaW1020 I posted the rainbow challenge on my feed but it will be our challenge as of Sunday so start planning your menu! I love that your sister is doing a challenge with you, that's perfect to have a partner at home with you.

@laurelfit57 I bet you had a lot of exercise on your trip, glad you were able to get some exercise in! Yeah I come home from farm days which is only a couple hours totally exhausted, my home garden isn't as bad but there's a lot of stuff.

Hi everyone! I keep waking up super early so I was up at 3, I got my sleeping medication prescription changed but have to wait for it to go through insurance. I did my workout, had that appointment, then had physical therapy and I'm pretty beat. My garden's hanging in there, I skipped some of the watering tonight to do in the morning. Tomorrow my neighbor and I are going to the movies so I need to work out and get my grocery shopping and a run to the bank done first. Have a great Friday!
