I hope everyone had a great holiday. So glad we are getting rain today, desperately needed. And a great break from the heat. Really had a nice time with family. My great nephews are hysterically funny! Got lots of hugs, a small dance party and water play. And my nieces are amazing women! Didn't hit my daily step goals, so…

Love everybody's goals. I totally agree @lclark04957 about the summer being short. Northern Michigan is the same and I want to really enjoy it. Adding a goal for this month about that. So, my goals are: Average 11,000 steps daily Complete some Garmin challenges in support of the above goal Walk or hike outside 6 times per…

Officially hit 2 million steps for the year. Steps, awesome. Strength, not as awesome. Also looking forward to and new month @Catlady27787.

June ended fairly strong for me. Hit my movement goals but need to get better overall with strength exercises. Or more realistic about doing them in the summer when I want to be outside. Though if you count planting gardens, moving soil and building decks I am right there. Weight is the same as May with a trend of barely…

That is great @pamelaory!! Trails are such adventures. It has been crazy humid here so about 50% of my exercise has been inside. I'll get lots of outside over the weekend with several siblings, nieces and greats.
-
Strong numbers. How are you feeling? And how's the house coming?
-
@lclark04957 great job on hitting your goals for the month. @zichab so sorry this cold is hanging on like that. Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do right now. And Garmin should count getting out of bed when you are sick as an activity for sure!!! So, rain and humidity mean I have done inside workouts. Did…

Michigan is beautiful, especially where we are. Lots of state/County parks, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore is less than 3 miles from my house, lots of protected land from conservancies. Awesome trails for walking, hiking, running, skiing. And great beaches. Very grateful to be in this area for sure. Great question about…

🤣🤣 Great idea to just reset and weigh in a couple of weeks. I do like the whole puzzle of "yep, ate that which had extra sodium = extra weight today" game sometimes. But it can get frustrating.
-
Wanted to drop a hello and see how you are doing. Hopefully hanging in there!
-
I realized yesterday how much I look forward to and love my outdoor big walks. Going to be prioritizing those moving forward for as long as I can. Living in northwestern lower Michigan means it can be challenging to virtually impossible in the winter months. That also means I may alter my strength goals in the future. Hard…

Knocked out two more Garmin challenges this week. Step challenge, which was getting 300,000 steps this month. Closed that on Wednesday. Active June, which is record 20 activities of 20 minutes. Completed this morning. As long as the weather (and my back) cooperate, should end the month strong.
-
Did another 3 mile loop outside today because not sure what the temps will do tomorrow. Definitely going to be warming up more and hoping the humidity stays lower. If not, I'll be back to indoor workouts. @Elfirose33 it sounds like the trainer is worth every penny. Good luck on opening night! @Deeder522 nice options for…
-
Wow, that is a LOT of steps. If you went from about 3000 to this, it could most definitely be triggering your appetite and your craving for sugar. And you could be holding a lot of water weight with this too. Since seven pounds would be 24,500 over what your body needs to maintain, I would bet there is a decent amount of…
-
Great job with the strength training @Deeder522 and building your stamina. I love the good culture cottage cheese, buy it at Costco if that tells you anything. I'll have to try it with pistachios. @zichab sorry to hear you are still sick. You need to listen to your body and do what you can as you can. Rest is good!…
-
Glad you are back in the house. You could definitely have some water weight if you went from nothing to over an hour daily. I agree scaling back could help. I aim to get a daily step count, but focus on hard workouts (strength, more intense cardio) 3 days a week for 45 to 60 minutes. Again, this may be something you'll…
-
Everyone is doing so well this month! Knocking goals out one after the other. Well done. @Elfirose33 that hauling after your workout is massive. Well done for managing and playing in those circumstances. @zichab Hope you are starting to feel better. @Deeder522 great job with your rings goal! And morning appointments can…
-
Hard to believe only one more week in June!! I have done well on the steps the last few weeks, so think I'll make my overall goals for the month. Closed out one Garmin challenge and started another on Friday. Still need to be better with the strength training. Only getting one true session weekly.
-
Great job on the weight!! That is so fantastic. And awesome that your sons are noticing. Fun with the dress ordering and trying on. Once you narrow down style and color, you can order closer to the date. And tailoring also can help. I am so sorry to hear about the foster. And the coordinator's response is not good. Even if…
-
Hope you are still loving the watch. I was also a traditional watch wearer until I got my Garmin. Part of the reason I like mine is because it looks like a traditional watch until I tap it or move my wrist a certain way. Hope your repairs are coming along and you can get back in your house soon.
-
@zichab Hope you feel better soon! Summer colds are the worst. Staining a deck is quite the workout. Extreme heat warning is here as well, and poor air quality. Stay safe @lclark04957 Opted for an indoor work out today. Wake up and Walk 3 mile. Nice band segments to it. Was so sweaty after becauseof the humidity! Finished…
-
Wow @Elfirose33 that sounds like an amazing workout!! Great job knocking it out. @zichab so glad you had a great visit with your family. Way to stay smart with the heat. @lclark04957 great job with your movement. Food is such a challenge sometimes. Take one day, one meal at a time. And shake it off if it isn't the "best"…

I always but either "last season" or a less fancy tool too. I have a Garmin, one of their entry ones. I will say the locator feature is nice on mine, hubby has a Garmin too. If I fell on a wooded hike it could be tough to find me unless someone knew exactly what path I took. Are you still loving the watch?
-
That is awesome @Catlady27787. I have a Garmin that tracks weight as well but like the way Libra presents the trend better. And absolutely agree that these watches can potentially help a lot in maintaining too.
-
Enjoy the time with your sons. Sorry to hear about the breakup.
-
Great job @Elfirose33 with the trainer. Sounds like a challenging circuit and you rocked it!! So glad we got the rain @Deeder522! YouTube definitely comes in handy on days like that. I am trying to convince hubby to plant clover around our fruit trees after hearing about yours. Did Burn to the Beat this morning since it…
-
Took a rest day yesterday. We were exhausted by everything we got done over the weekend and our guests. Still got my steps in though, so on track for the 2 million by end of June. @Deeder522 what a great father's day for you and Ryan. Rest days are important @lclark04957 so glad you enjoyed yours.
-
You may be surprised with the numbers. And it sounds like you have an awesome plan. You will get there for sure. What kind of Smart Watch did you get?
-
@Catlady27787 it breaks down to 11,000 daily. So if you start hitting your goals, you'll be close in 12 months!
-
Great goals @Catlady27787!! It is totally individual so play around with what works for you.
