Back at after not tracking for the second half of June. Time to recommit! Track Y Calories Y Exercise Y - 30 minute indoor cycle; 2, .75 mile dog walks; 30 min yard work

I’m back! Stopped tracking in MFP altogether sometime around mid-June but really want to kickoff the new month recommitted to my goals 🙃 This week’s goal is 3 AF days leading up to the holiday and to plan on setting a moderation goal for the weekend (still deciding what specific goal to set)

Interesting listen I thought this group might like. It’s an interview with the No Beer One Year founder. This podcast has lots of announcements/ads at the beginning but then does not interrupt the conversation again. The interview starts a little after the 14 min mark if you want to skip the intro…

@RangerRickL Beautiful pictures! You’re making me want to go to Oregon. Calories- Y Tracked - Y Exercise - Y, dog walks and 30 min indoor cycle

Calories - Y Tracked - Y Exercise - Y, a two-day streak of sunshine and 70s (before the hot thunderstorms return tomorrow) so three, 1-mile dog walks throughout the day. Also did a 20-minute peloton ride

I did pretty much the same but have been telling myself “at least” M-Th so the brain hopefully doesn’t claim the entire weekend as a free for all.

Calories- Y Tracked - Y Exercise - Y, enjoyed the beautiful weather with three dog walks and did a 30 min spin class

May’s tally was 11 AF days and I strayed way off track that last week after the holiday weekend. Looking forward to recommitting in June. I have a lot of fitness goals this month and know I won’t see the efforts pay off if I’m drinking calories every night. I think the 30 day AF goal is a bit overwhelming for me right now…

Took the weekend off (and gained 3+ lbs water weight) but I’m back to finish the month with some accountability. Exercise - Yes. Not many dog walks with the rain but did a 30 minute peloton class Calories - Yes Tracked - Yes

I am grateful for an online community that motivates and inspires me to focus on my goals and get back up when I slip. Exercise - Yes, the usual dog walks, and a 30 minute beginner ride on the peloton Calories - Yes, way under with today’s exercise and managed to avoid rewarding myself with wine (saving my cheats for the…

I’m the same. I’ll be good all week (so far AF Mon-Wed and plan to do so today) then Friday comes and I tell myself I’ve been so good I’ll order take out and get a bottle of wine. I need to find a non-food/alcohol related treat

Exercise - Yes 3, 20-30 minute dog walks, mowed lawn, and snuck in a 30 minute beginner peloton ride over lunch :) Calories - Yes Tracked - Yes Monday - Wednesday are always the easiest (especially this week) but I’ll try to keep up the momentum

Exercise - Y multiple dog walks and a one hour Pilates class Calories- Y Tracking - Y I have two cats (Finn & Lou) and a dog (Maya), all rescues and impossible to get in a photo together haha I’ll give Maya the photo cred since she’s the best fitness motivator

The weekend was tough accountability-wise but back at it for Monday. Calories Y Tracked Y Exercise Y - two, 20+ minute dog walks and my very first 20 minute beginner peloton class

I have yet to conquer a weekend. I was AF Monday - Thursday but by Friday afternoon I finished yard work and wanted a drink. Even after reading the Alcohol Experiment cravings and discomfort chapters I was enjoying wine all weekend. Instead of giving up I’m back to the plan. I’m not going to think about the holiday weekend…

Tracked Y Calories Y Exercise Y - multiple dog walks, yard work, and a Pilates class

Four day AF streak, 5th AF day in May. I really wanted a glass of wine after finishing up the yard work but made my first attempt at a mocktail. I did a little bit of cranberry juice (100% no sugar added), topped off with lime seltzer, and fresh lime juice. It was very refreshing and satisfying.

Three day AF streak! The real test starts tomorrow when the approaching weekend starts begging for rosé

NSV for me was restarting mid-month after slipping up early in the month. Typically I’d slip up a few days, see the holiday coming at the end of the month and just tell myself I’d restart June 1st. Tracked Y Calories Y Exercise Y - It finally stopped raining! Two, 20 minute dog walks and one 40 minute dog walk

I have glan its pretty basic and really only counts AF streaks and money saved not drinking. It’s ok but probably more for giving up alcohol altogether than drinking less. I’m curious what others use

Exercise - Yes - One hour Pilates class Tracked - Yes Calories - No, about 100 over but the 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter on my dessert apple was worth it

Today’s Day 2 of the alcohol experiment (3 days AF for May)

My first day signing in 🙃 Exercise - yes, rain finally stopped and I took the dog for a puddle filled brisk walk On Track - yes Calories - no, I’m about 80 over but still the best day I’ve had in weeks so not a bad restart

New to the group and looking forward to getting back on track after a couple of rough weeks without tracking anything. Rather than wait for a new month as an excuse to delay tackling my habits I’m re-starting today 🙃 I’m glad to have found this group to help with accountability since I don’t have much of a support system…

It came! I read Day 1 and did the actions but business trips have me all messed up this week so I plan to restart on Monday when I am prepped with groceries etc to commit to a healthy week of food/AF in general.

I’m back for May :) April was only 6 AF days, so far January is the month to beat at 17. I’ve ordered the alcohol experiment and the goal is to complete the 30-day challenge

I think I’ve finally decided that 4 AF days and weekend drinking is not going to help me achieve my goals. Last week I lost two pounds eating well and staying AF during the week but then I gained it back over the weekend enjoying too much wine and snacks to go with it. This has been a yo-yo pattern for awhile. New goal is…

I’m in! Just recommitted to MFP April 1st after lots of starts and stops in health goals since January. For me one glass of wine turns into two and leads to mindless snacking. My goal for April is 4-5 AF days per week. So far I have 3 AF days this week 🙃

I love this one. You can make it spicy or not by how many seeds you add and roasted brussel sprouts are the best https://www.isachandra.com/2013/06/chipotle-mac-cheese-with-roasted-brussel-sprouts/
