Come and join the June challenge if you wish. Do as little or as much that works for you. Hopefully @GreenTealael will provide “B side questions “ if she has time.

Off we go!

Start by saying hi, surgery date (unless you are pre-op), type of surgery and state 1 or 2 goals you plan to accomplish this month. Goals don’t have to be weight or food related. Everyone is welcome to join at anytime, we are just supporting each other.

Yoga was canceled because a big weird storm popped up by surprise, we had a 10% chance of rain! It was so strange because it was pretty strong and lasted over an hour.

They do this every week so I’ll go again.

Oh man,I’m sorry that class got cancelled!

Tonite I did my TRX class and it was exhilarating to do something totally new for the first time.

Lol, my triceps are going to be singing out loud to me tomorrow am! I already feel as if I have jello arms. ??

Checking in!

I ’ve completely given up on catching up with the Advent Skalender ☹️

I also haven’t been as good about walking. That is more about time than laziness though. But I also realized I don’t get credit for my steps when my phone rolls with my bag in the airport. So I’ve been cheated out of steps! ?

I’m headed out on vacation, so that will be a lot of walking to close out the month. It’s not a great food destination. So that + extra activity, I’m curious to see what my weight will be when I return. ?

@Sheribear68 Upper body TRX is a killer for me, I really need to work on my strength.

@sillykitty I’ve noticed that when pushing a shopping cart my steps hardly count. I feel ripped off when I don’t get the recognition I deserve from my Fitbit ? May I ask where you are off to? A vacation sounds wonderful right now!

I’m still working out daily, the fitness calendar I chose was a pretty hard one, I don’t know what I was thinking. Mental health challenge today: I am doing my best.

Yesterday was one of the first days where I REALLY wanted fries or a shake. I didn’t have any but I was caught off guard by how much I wanted it!

I have my final assessment this Friday at my hospital gym. I’m excited to see the breakdown over the past few months.

Iceland!

Work prep for a week off is overwhelming me right now. At this point before a trip I always wonder if it's worth it. Of course once I actually get on the plane I know it totally is!

That sounds like a fantastic vacation! I hope you share pictures and details when you return. It is funny, I can’t really think of any enticing Icelandic cuisine.

Sounds like the perfect spot.

Never been to Iceland so I can’t wait to hear how awesome it is.

Today I have back-to-back classes again and I can’t wait to see how my body responds.

Other than that, it’s my day off and I’ve spent most of the morning doing CE and getting recertified on all of my CPR and blood borne pathogen training that has to be done every year n

July Challenge on its way!

However I may need help time to time with a guest B-Side question.

July 2019 Challenge created !!! As promised

My past doesn’t define me...So now I’m going to discuss my past 2 months lol.

My 2 month fitness assessment was interesting. I lost 16 lbs, 6% less body fat, 4 inches off my waist and 3 off my hips. Those were the only recorded measurements that I know of. My grip strength and flexibility decreased a little which I thought was weird but nothing major.

This is the first time in forever I really did a program consistently, I was not expecting this degree of success so close to my 1 year anniversary and goal weight. 8 pounds a month is a huge number for me, I was losing about 3-5 prior.

It can be done, just have to put in the work. As I figure out my final goal weight, I’m going to go to the gym 4 days vs. 5 days so I don’t burn out. I’ll go for a walk the other 3 days. I’m looking forward to the July challenge, my arms are pretty weak!

I feel better than ever and I’m not looking back.

Well Cheeseburgh, that's Chicago weather for you, but you got to love the place÷ And if the storm hasn't exhausted itself you ship it on to me in Ohio, I swear ours changes every 15 minutes. But Thanks to my surgery, I am still here to growl! And now we have July ahead , another month to gain by losing, and so we are still blessed. Always enjoy your posts and perhaps the next Judo session won't be cancelled! Have a Happy Remainder of June, my friend!

Hah, I'm undefineable! But, I'll admit that my past has shaped me and I think mostly for the good. So, I'm reviewing the past month as I will be travelling tomorrow. Weight loss was a tad slower this month than the previous. I also noticed that my energy and drive seemed to be lower as well. But then again, I did things like try to eat a cupcake. I liked the idea of one much better than actually eating one...didn't finish it. At any rate, I love that I'm still losing and that I'm still sticking to the program. See y'all next month!
