I hate to do this to you but I accidentally erased your steps ... I need 5/26 to 5/31...I apologize for the inconvience1 -
Reintroduction:
I am Charissa. 63 years young. I have been with F2F/Downsizers for over a year. I'm an empty nester with a 34-year-old son and one grandchild, soon to be 2 in November.
I've come to understand that prioritizing health is a life-long journey . I"ve been focusing on exercise for the last six months. I am stronger, and I am very happy about that, but my weight has not changed significantly, and only a few inches are gone in very weird places. So for the next six months, I'm shifting my focus to nutrition.
Welcome to all the new members!
Motto:
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Daily Goals for June1. Calories (plan for 1250) with Wiggle room to 1650 and protein 150g.Recap: June! Welcome! This is an exciting month for me as my house closes on the 25th, and we will be moving on the 28th. It's a little sad as I've gotten very used to the on-site gym at my apartment, so I'll have to start thinking about how I will continue exercising with the equipment that I have.
2. Limit Wine to the weekend, if at all.
3. Water - Minimum of 80 ounces
4. Exercise 5 days a week (core/strength train/cardio)
5. Consistently hit 10k steps - Goal 20+ days.
6. Daily reads or audible.
My focus this month is on nutrition and macros.
Planning at the lower end of the calorie range but leaving room for "other" stuff.
I am also shifting my steps from my Fitbit to my Apple Watch. I use both but tracked the steps from my Fitbit. The Fitbit seems to give me more steps, but I think the Apple Watch is more accurate with Actual steps. My goal is still the same at 8500 for this challenge but with an internal push challenge to get to 10k as often as possible.
- THOUGHTS:
Eating meals while watching TV results in consuming an average of 300 additional calories!
Step Challenge - Goal 8500
ST = Moderate
6/2 5,473

I am both a planner and a procrastinator!
I plan everything!! Meals, exercise, trips, vacations, shopping, moving etc.
BUT... if it's not something I really want to do, then the procrastination kicks in. It usually gets done, but usually just in the nick of time!
My biggest challenge - with weight loss is staying consistent - with everything else is the new life style that I will put into place in the next 3 months
I'd be a really nice expensive full body cabernet Why not!!??
@Yodaloo88 ~ Congrats on the awesome loss

Another beautiful day, worked out in the garden. Replanted a couple pots that weren't growing. Added another succession of spinache, lettuce, and arugula. Planted some winter squash in the in the ground garden where the cantaloupe didn't take. The corn doesn't seem to be growing either - will need to rethink what we will do there. Bingo night with Mom, noone won - but always a good time. I did endulge in the goodies - had two minature peppermint patties. Since I was just at my calorie range before I went to bingo - put me over the top.

What has been your hardest goodbye in life so far?
Mine has been by dad's death...I could handle it better if he died naturally but his 2nd wife pulled a gun on him and he had a heart attack at the age of 51

That has to be the most awful experience! What happened to the murderer?!
My hardest goodbye would be to my still living parents. Both of them chose outside experiences rather than responsibility for me since I was born, leaving me to essentially raise myself and my care passed around to their "village" as it were. I have reached a space now where labeling these two now geriatrics as folks who will not be a part of my life... ever. Essentially saying goodbye.

Complete rest day for me. First no exercise day in a LONG time. I am going to start doing this once a week. Had my follow-up appointment yesterday - torn meniscus with moderate arthritis. My doctor said that the combination of the two makes the treatment a little trickier. The meniscus tear surgery can lead to worsening the arthritis. With that in mind she suggested a cortizone shot. I went with that option, I don't feel much difference today - but she said it might take a bit. Fingers crossed it works.

Amazing loss! I hope the cortisone works. It was a godsend for me while waiting for my knee replacement.

Good morning! It’s a beautiful day here in London, Ontario. I went for a very short walk yesterday. I am up almost a pound this week. I went out to dinner with friends Monday night and I my weight went to 154.4 on Tuesday from the sodium. My weight was 149.4 on the weekend so there must have been a ton of sodium. So the moral of the story, avoid salt Linda.

Spent the day cruisiing down the Connecticut River. It was wonderful. Don't know what it is about being on the water that makes it so relaxing. Also had my yearly physical first thing in the AM. She is very happy with my reduction in cholesterol rates and weight loss.

That's wonderful that your appointment went well! I love being on the water. I would love to get a kayak and just go whenever, where ever I wanted.0 -

Ugh, the older you get the harder it is. I know I splurged a little over my Birthday weekend but with all the exercise I have done and the water I drank I thought I would have at least stayed the same. Oh well, just have to work a little harder I guess.3 -

Hello everyone, my name is Marie.
Sorry, that I have been missing in action this first week of June. The first week of each month is a very busy time for me. I will try to do much better the rest of the month.
I am an introvert and I find it difficult communicating with others even in the form of just typing in words into a computer. This is a work in progress for me. I'm working really hard to change this.
I don't really exercise much; mostly, because I have difficulties using my legs and feet. Everything, I do has to be slow and steady or I'll have an accident. I do some stretches and chair yoga.
My Goals The Rest Of June:
1) Water 64 fl oz or more daily.
2) Stay within daily calorie budget.
3) Try to move in some form 20 to 30 minutes a day. (Broken up throughout the day)
Wish everyone the best.3
