    June Goals

    Mileage Tacked: 75
    Apple Challenge: Close my exercise ring 17 times

    Happy June! 2 things I want to try and focus on are strength training and tracking my food intake. I've been using 2 lbs weights, so I will try to move up to 3-5 lbs by the end of the month. My food intake is dismal. To much eating my emotions. My emotions identify as McDonald's and carbs. 🀣

    Here's to a strong June for all of us.

    Great goals @Deeder522. Are Apple rings similar to Garmin challenges? I am an Android user so not familiar.

    So my goals are similar to last month. Overall, want to get a 2 mile outdoor walk 6 days per week and 2 days of strength training. I also have a goal to be at 2 million steps by June 30 (to be on track for the 4 million challenge.)

    I am going to do the following Garmin challenges to support my steps:

    June 5k weekend walking, during June 6 weekend

    Step into June - 100,000 steps by June 14 (personal goal to hit by the 9th)

    June step month - 300,000 steps (personal goal of 350,000)

    Complete Walking Stage 2 (record 90 miles April 1 to June 30) and a couple expeditions.

    Happy June all!!

    May was extremely successful for me, but June is already giving me an issue!!! πŸ˜‚ It knows I hate summer! Anyway, One of my goals is to build up to a 2 minute plank each day. Well, I have discovered I cannot even do 1!!!!😳 So quick research says, "not to worry, start against a wall and by the end of the month, you will be strong enough to do them from the floor." I just got an age related reality check for sure! 🀣 So wall planks it will be for a while! LOL

    Goals For June: Continue 2 days a week, Tone Every Zone and work on getting to 8 lb weights. Do 1 5 Mile walk each week and 3-4 mile walks 5 days a week. Plank, from the floor, for 2 minutes by the end of the month. Try to get in one walk each week on Lake Simond Rd (bugs permitting)! Garmin Challenges: Step Into June Challenge 100,000 steps by June 15, June Step Challenge 300,000 steps by June 30, June Podium Challenge-Be in the top 3 one week for steps, Complete the Annapurna Circuit, Himalayas, Nepal and begin the Reinsteig Trail, Rhine River, Germany.

    June 1-WAH-Just Walk-4 Fast Miles: Garmin Miles:

    @Deeder522 I was glad to hear you are not mucking horses along with everything else on your plate! πŸ˜‚ Great goal this month and tracking really does help. For me, it is the extra glasses of wine while I am talking to Dennis after dinner. We had to change that habit! Now we get up and do dishes and talk in the living room! Our wine cellar is not emptying as fast either! LOL

    Oh My Gosh @megd44 I did not even see a million step challenge! That's a lot of steps!!! Right now, I could do it, but I am not sure I will keep up this pace for whole year! Life happens a lot around here it seems. I will be cheering for you to do it though!!!!!

    I am worried about @Elfirose33. I am not sure if you read her last May post, but the Canadian wild fire smoke has reached her area. It was so bad here last year that we had soot on our picnic table. It was also strange to smell a campfires in the middle of the day. How are the two of you in MI? Did it avoid you?

    Till tomorrow! πŸ˜ƒ

    My June Goals:

    1. Go to these group workout classes at my gym: Boot Camp (Mondays) and Tai Chi (Wednesdays).

    2. Try out the new Friday group class Weightlifting at my gym sometime this month, then try a new workout during each remaining week = 4 new workouts I will have tried by the month's end.

    3. Fit in walks whenever I can!

    4. Continue doing lunges, increasing to 30 reps, each leg, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

    My June Challenge: Do specific basic leg stretches and yoga hip openers for a few minutes every day this month to hopefully become more flexible. Will report my flexibility progress at the end of the month πŸ’œ

    Today I walked Dottie for 25 minutes. I also went to the used book store and found an armload of books to buy (and then lug around the store, to my car, and then home). Mostly they were cookbooks, which I certainly do not need any more of! 🀣 It was so fun though! Tonight I did my 5 minutes of leg stretches. Happy June!

    @Deeder522 Excellent goals! I understand the food challenge dilemma, and I certainly need to do better myself in that department too. Looking forward to your posts, you may motivate me to do better!

    @megd44 Awesome goals! Wow, that's a whole lot of steps there! Will be rooting for you!

    @zichab Planks at the wall are a great place to start! Outstanding goals! I didn't smell the smoke today as much, but I mostly spent the day in Kansas, so that could be why. Soot on your picnic table is some serious smoke, haven't yet seen that here.

    Yesterday I did a 20 minute full body resistance band session from the WAH site. A lot of core which I need to help my back. Then did a 3 mile walk outside. Also made a big dent on the spring lawn clean-up. I like to wait until late May for pollinators and butterfly habitat. This morning I did a 2 mike loop outside. But dang Michigan, get it together- it was only 44 degrees.

    @zichab I love your goals. A 2 minute plank is a lot. Cheering you to get there!!

    The 4 million comes out to 11k per day, the group is on MFP. I am not sure how I'll do. A bit behind the pace because of COVID in January and then my back. If I get 12k this month I'll be on track. I am worried about keeping the pace, especially once it gets cold in the fall.

    @Elfirose33 love the flexibility goals!! And who can resist used bookstores?? You should count the carrying as strength training. And glad to hear the smoke is better.

    We are supposed to be getting smoke here, but not yet.

    Cheers to a good week ahead.

    Happy June! You all have fantastic goals. My June goal is to exercise for at least 20 minutes or at least 10,000 FitBit steps. In the summer, if I aim for anything longer, I usually make excuses and talk myself out of doing anything. 20 is achievable and once I get going, I usually push myself to do more. Bloodwork came back pre diabetic so I am also working this month to get that number in the normal range. I am just a tad over normal.

    I'll be sticking to early morning or evening walks now that we're into the Summer months. My Redheaded self doesn't need any more sun damage. Also, I made a deal with myself that I can't listen to my audiobook unless I'm doing some sort of exercise.
    I have this awful habit of trying to restart my health goes the week of my cycle. Why I chose the hardest week, I'll never know. I weighed myself this morning, and I hated the number on the scale.

    @megd44 Apple Rings are my 3 daily goals. 1 for Movement, 1 for exercise, and 1 for standing. That watch challenge might be closer to your Garmin ones. Those change each month, and I never get a say in what the challenges are. Additionally, Apple will send out special challenges for certain events. June 4 is International Running Day, so if I do an exercise of running that day, I'll get a bonus medal.

    @zichab Wall Planks sound very doable to me. Air quality is a little on the hazy side. We keep a close watch on it for Ryan. When it was so bad a couple of years ago, it flared his arthritis.

    @Elfirose33 Nice set of goals for the week. Cookbooks are a weakness of mine. I'm always pulling them from the library in search of my next great recipe.

    @lclark04957 Sorry to read about your bloodwork, but you're right, it's completely doable to get that number down.

    June 1-WAH-Just Walk-4 Fast Miles: Garmin Miles: 6.1

    June 2-WAH-iWalk Strong: Plank 10.6 seconds: Garmin Miles:

    OK, color me dumb! I got up today and tried to do a plank against the wall and I was practically horizontal before I even felt my abs. I could not figure out what was going on, so, I went to the floor and BOOM-planked just fine, albeit for only 10seconds, but I did it!!!! I think the mistake I made yesterday was thinking I should do it after my walk when my muscles were warm, but I realize now, my abs were exhausted after one of Leslie's walks, so they said "no way" to a plank. This morning, it was no problem … except for holding it for any length of time! πŸ˜‚ Hopefully, I can increase my time now and get to 2 minutes by the end of the month. We shall see!

    Welcome back @lclark04957! Starting a work out is always the stumbling block isn't it! I use 3 PM as my push. If it is 3 PM and I do not have sneakers on, I start to push myself to get to it!! Blood work is a HUGE motivator! My cholesterol was up in my last blood test and I'd like to get off atorvastatin, so I am dedicated to my 10,000 steps as day as well! We can do this!!! πŸ‘οΈ

    @megd44 Oh I thought the 1 million challenge was on Garmin as it sounds like something they would do. I forgot that MFP forums have a lot of challenges as well. It is a lot of steps that is for sure and it only takes a bad week to throw you off. BTW, NY is not much better as it was 39F when I woke up. If this keeps up, my humming birds are going to say "The heck with this! We're heading south!" πŸ˜‚

    Oh @Elfirose33! I am such a sucker for used book stores!!!! Of course, I am a sucker for any book store, but used ones are best since you can find 1st editions or books missing from your collection. Let's face it, we are all on MFP because we are foodies, so it stands to reason we love cookbooks! I know there are a ton of recipes on the web, but there is nothing like holding and adding sticky notes and changes to your very own cookbook! I love them!

    The smoke here two years ago was awful. I live in the mountains and many of us heat with wood and in the summer, it is not unusual for us or others around the lake to have campfires. So we are fairly used to the smell of wood smoke and don't really mind it, but this was like a 24/7 campfire that was smoking and spewing ash all over. We could not go outside for 2 days and it was frightening. We all had to keep reminding ourselves that it was smoke, not fire as fire is an ever present danger!!! πŸ”₯🚫

    I hear you @Deeder522! My Irish ancestors passed their freckles and red hair highlights to me as well and I cannot go out without SPF 100+ on!!!! LOL We are going to Las Vegas in a week and I have never been there in the summer, so I bought a big brimmed white hat and a ton of sunscreen to take with me. I think it is part of the reason I hate summer so much-it feels like a constant threat. My husband and son turn a lovely shade of brown in the sun while I turn apple red!!! 😑 I loved my Irish great grandma though so it is OK!

    Tomorrow is Tone Every Zone, but I will do my plank FIRST! 🀣

    June goal is to do at least 20 minutes Leslie Sansone (LS) or 10,000 FitBit steps (FB).
    6/1: FB 10,195 (4.38 miles)
    6/2: LS 30 mins (5K) and 21,000 (FB)!!! Crushed goal today. Lots of yardwork and took an afternoon walk.

    Yesterday I did 30 lunges (each leg) and 5 minutes leg stretches. No Boot Camp class as that did not work out today, will try again next week. The weather reporters are saying that all the smoke in our area will be clearing out today due to new wind patterns, so that's good news. And it is raining all day here, too, so maybe that also helps the clearing out part?

    @megd44 Great workouts! Thank you:) I'd trade weather with you; yesterday it was sunny and 88 degrees here. Hang in there with the 12k this month, you never know what's possible until you try, and I'm rooting for you! I hope the core work will help your back feel better, so sorry you're dealing with that πŸ’š

    @lclark04957 Hello, nice to meet you! Great goals for June! Good idea choosing an achievable goal, I love that!

    @Deeder522 I love the library! But the biggest problem there for me is that I often find cookbooks that I don't want to part with by the due date, and then I end up having to go out and buy them πŸ˜…

    @zichab A 10.6 second floor plank is a HUGE accomplishment!! Your plank holding time absolutely will increase, day by day. Well done! Yeah, I'm a book gal all the way, no digital books for me. Mark built me a floor-to-ceiling big bookshelf for Christmas one year, which I love. I have way too many books πŸ˜„

    I was able to walk 1 mile around the farm last night. 1 lap with Ryan and 1 lap on my own. Due to the weather, I'll be doing my exercise inside tonight.

    @Elfirose33 You're heat and wind made it to SW Michigan today. It's nearly 90 on my back porch, and the wind has been picking up speed as the day goes on, and it keeps changing direction.

    @zichab I've been to Vegas. I recommend the sun hat/visor, SPF, and HYDRATE. That was the worst for me. I couldn't stay hydrated enough. I remember putting on some lotion and my skin just sucking it all up and still feeling dry.

    My plank time was less today!!! What's up with that!!! LOL I remember from a few years ago I did a plank challenge on MFP and my time was up and down in the beginning until my abs got used to the position. I am hoping that is all it is. I had to add the walk today because for some reason, my muscles were very jittery when I was done with the lifting part of the workout. I ate a high protein lunch so i am not sure what the issue was today. MEH! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

    CONGRATULATIONS @lclark04957 !!! πŸ†οΈ You have a 2 day streak going there-great job!!! πŸ‘

    Oh gosh @Elfirose33 are we siblings in another life????? My husband built me an entire wall of book shelves in our downstairs den and it is full!!! LOL He told me I had more books than would fit between my work office, home office and randomly around our house, but I did not believe him because I purged so many before we moved here. But he was RIGHT and I hate that!!!! I love my books … all of them!!! 😊

    Thanks so much @Deeder522. I have been to Las Vegas several times because my step son lives there, but NEVER in the summer, so the added insight is very helpful. I was only going to bring 1 of my Camel Bak, but maybe now I'll bring them both. We usually limit our visits to winter or very early spring before it gets really hot so this will be a new experience for us!

    Time for dinner! See you all tomorrow! πŸ˜ƒ

    Yesterday was a rest day but with some interesting errands and plotting new fencing, moving of chickens, etc I hit my step goal, just over 12k. Raining here now and bad air quality because of the Canadian fires. I'll be getting my walk in this afternoon with some work colleagues.

    I completed the West Highland Garmin challenge on Sunday. Didn't notice because of life craziness. I am starting the Mont Blanc today. If I hit all my step goals, I should finish it by the end of the month.

    Nice to meet you @lclark04957. I love getting step goals by watching littles.

    @zichab as someone that lived there for 11 years, yes to taking 2 Camel Baks and remember to replace electrolytes too. I use either propel pouches or Mio Hydrate drops and add to my 36 oz water bottle one time a day in summer. Also, look into UPF clothing. Saves on having to recoat with sunscreen and they are usually sweat wicking, very cool. I have so many items, dresses, leggings, tops. And they are great for normal life too!

    @Elfirose33 great job with the lunges!! And glad to hear the smoke is clearing for you.

    @Deeder522 great walk and awesome that Ryan did some too. It was mid 80s here yesterday so you must have been very warm. And the wind was so crazy! Hopefully it has settled down for you.

    Well, I did end up walking 1 mile around the farm. I also got rained on for a short bit of it.
    As it's raining this morning, I turned to YouTube and did a 15-minute walk with Improved Health. She had my arms going 100% on this walk, too.
    With the Wildfire smoke, Ryan will be inside 99% today. That smoke can flare his arthritis. I actually have a pretty easy day. Maybe I can get caught up on some admin stuff for work.

    @megd44 Thanks for telling me that! I have a lot of UPF clothing from hiking. I did not think of bringing those, but I can zip off the legs of my hiking pants if I want shorts and I have tons of tees, long & short sleeve, and hiking shirts all LLBean. I will pack those instead of my normal tees. Dennis uses Mio so we will just get extra or ask my DIL to pick some up. I appreciate all the help from you and @Deeder522!

    I also feel so bad for both of you and this smoke. It has stayed in the upper atmosphere for us so we just see red sunsets. It is HHH here today though 86F and humid. Such a change from the 40s & 50s!

    Keep meeting that step goal @lclark04957! Grandchildren are a very good workout tool! 🀣 I'm in training for July when my 11 & 6 year olds will be here!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

    Yesterday I only did my leg stretches. I think I'm laying low and resting for a bit because soon I will be exploring something new, and I will keep you posted as things unfold. Today I did 70 minutes Tai Chi, walked Dottie 40 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening, did 30 lunges (each leg) and did my leg stretching.

    @Deeder522 Great walking! Oh no, heck… well, the best I can say is: Welcome to Missouri! 😁 Yesterday it rained all day and I really enjoyed that! Sorry to hear you all are dealing with the smoke there now.

    @zichab Plank times for me over the years have been hit and miss and up and down. I hope that helps knowing you're not alone. Yes, it sounds like it!! (about being siblings in a past life) LOL!! I love all my many books, too, couldn't be without them!

    @megd44 Good job with all those accomplishments on a rest day! Oh no, sorry to hear about the bad air quality, hang in there!

    @lclark04957 Great mileage, you're doing so well!

    The work walk yesterday was much shorter than we thought. So between that and a 12 hour work day missed my step goal. Overall average tracking is just below 12k, so think I'll be ok for the week. This morning I did a 2 mike loop outside. Probably a mile too long with the smoke.

    @zichab way to keep pushing with the plank. Hopefully you are surviving the heat and humidity!

    @Deeder522 hope you and Ryan both are doing ok with the smoke. It is super bad up here too. And that you can get some admin done.

    @Elfirose33 stretches are so important. Can't wait to hear what you are planning.

    Great job with the steps @lclark04957!

    This morning, I did a 10 min strong Ab walk with Improved Health and then 10 min Pilates Arm workout with Fit by Mik.

    @megd44 The smoke is bad down here this morning. Ryan already looked outside and said he wasn't leaving the house today. I checked the airnow.gov, and the levels are extremely high.

    @Elfirose33 I love super secret plans. 😻

    @zichab Look up that Pilates arm from Fit by Mik and see how it compares to the Barre workouts.

    @lclark04957 Look at you go! 🧨

    Well, the plank was much better today, but my back got tired. I can see it is going to be up and down, but as long as the trend is up I'll be happy.

    @Deeder522 I could not find any Pilates workouts by Nik on the fitbynik site, but anything more than 10 minutes with her would kill me I am sure of that! πŸ˜‚ I have been thinking about Ryan when I saw the smoke numbers in MI. (I still always check Grand Blanc weather). Hope he is OK.

    @Elfirose33 This tease better have a super duper ending! For example, have you been invited to join the US Olympic team for lunges????? 🀣 Inquiring minds want to KNOW!

    @megd44 I hate missing my step goal also even though I know is it kind of silly. I have a new Garmin Watch coming tomorrow and I am hoping it counts more steps than this one! 🀣🀣🀣 Please be careful in the smoke. We learned 2 years ago, when we had real scientists in the government, that some of those particulates from the smoke go deep in the lungs and cause real problems later.

    @lclark04957 Keep on stepping as you are doing fantastic!!!!

    Rain is predicted tomorrow. Welcome to the Adirondacks!!! We have a saying up here that if you do not like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change! LOL Be careful all of you in the path of the smoke!

    I took this morning off. The air quality alert is supposed to lift around Noon, so I'm leaning into a walk tonight. Ryan didn't leave the house at all, so he was mostly safe. Our house is older and leaky with air, but we've been working on sealing it up. The majority of the windows have plastic on them for a better seal. They all have to be replaced, but that's further down the repair road. I, however, have been fighting a headache for the last few days. IT's been off and on, but I don't think the smoke helps.

    My new Garmin arrived today and I can see it is going to be a learning curve for me from my Vivofit which I got in 2013! LOL Apparently the technology has improved a lot?πŸ˜‚

    @Deeder522 The linked worked and I am going to try that one in the fall. I cannot believe she still says 3 pound weights are "light!" I was using 1 pound and my shoulders practically fell off!!! There are some movements she does not have in the BARRE ARMS workout and the exercises last for 45 second instead of 30. How did you do with it?

    Stay safe!

    @lclark04957 Look at your miles increasing every day!!! That is how to get fit fast for sure! 😊 Don't worry about not posting. Sometimes, you just might not have anything to say and that is fine! Just keep tracking here as it will hold you accountable and that is the point of the board right? You are doing great.

    I am going back to playing with this new device to see what it can do! πŸ˜‰

    Last night, I celebrated a friend's birthday. She wanted to go to the local Food Truck on Friday, which involved a lot of walking and standing. I set my watch to the "other" exercise for tracking and more than completed my rings. 🀣 The "other" exercise is like a cheat exercise. It will continually track time, movement, and heart rate. I had it going for an hour because that was how long it took to get food. 😳

    @zichab I did that workout with 2-pound weights. For one segment, I put the weights down and just did my arms. It's worth doing again, but I'm doing it much slower than Mik. Have fun learning your new Garmin.

    @lclark04957 I love seeing your numbers increase.

    Today is my MFP one year anniversary. I am my own worst critic when it comes to successes but looking back I have improved a lot. Day-to-day, week to week, doesn’t seem like much on paper, but in one year I have lost weight and toned up, and my stamina has improved. I’m quick to see what I haven’t done and not what I have done so I’m learning to celebrate wins. A challenge for me, but I’m learning. Have a great weekend everyone.

    @lclark04957 Happy Anniversary. Congratulations on your successes!! Agree it can be hard to see in the day to day.

    @zichab what kind of Garmin did you get?

    @Deeder522 this smoke has been nuts! Glad to hear Ryan made it through ok. And that food truck trip sounds like so much fun!

    I took another rest day yesterday after waking up with a headache and super congested. The rain we got yesterday morning mostly cleared out the smoke, for now. Got in a beautiful 3.5 mile walk in this morning. Felt great. Now basically weekend chores and going to help Rich with the new deck. Building stairs today.

    Oh my gosh! My Garmin tracked this walk and it says it is 3.79 miles not 3 miles!! LOL I have always had to manually enter my data into the app or on computer so this is new to me and it is very cool to see so much data!!! You'd think I was a world class athlete or something. LOL At least it makes working out fun for now. I also got a badge for recording my first activity! Ummm what did they think I was doing with my other Garmin? Sitting around all day???? GEESH!!! My plank time is also improving, so it was a good day!!

    @lclark04957 I would venture to say that if you are on MFP and on this board, it is a challenge to see success in your life. I suspect that is why we are all here. People who are able to see their wins fairly easily don't seem to need to track things or think about their success, they just accept them. My husband is like that and he does not understand why I have to have a planner and a weekly note of things that were a success each week. He thinks it's dumb. So you are among great company here!!! Congratulations on your MFP anniversary!!! We are certainly glad you are with us on this board!!! πŸ₯‡

    @Deeder522 OK color me stupid! It never occurred to me to go through the workout with no weights first!!! That might give me an idea of how it will go right???? Sometimes I wonder if I am all there! πŸ˜‚ Congrats on completing your rings!!! Waiting for food is a lot of standing which is exercise!!!!!! πŸ†οΈ

    @megd44 I feel so bad for you and that smoke which not doubt contributed to the headache.

    I got a Garmin Vivoactive 6 and so far, it has been fun. I had a Vivofit 1, which was one of the first wearables Garmin made and there was even a forum on MFP to help people use it! πŸ˜‚ It has one button and in addition to the time it has date, heart rate (if you wear the external heart rate monitor), sleep, steps, steps to go to goal, calories burned and miles. You just clicked through it. I loved it and hated to trade it in, but the numbers are developing a black line through them and I can't read the time anymore. So, it was time and I wanted to stay with Garmin Connect because my son and husband are on there with their Instincts 2 watches. We sometimes challenge each other which is kind of fun. Anyway, I missed my morning walk outside because I did not know that you have to start and stop an Activity. I thought once you selected it and the GPS came on, you were good to go! Nope!!

    Sandwich Saturday (in September we go back to soup Saturday) has begun at the Zicha's so I am heading up for my shower & BLT!! πŸ˜ƒ
