“I should just surrender to the inevitability of not being successful this month.”
Let’s reframe that.
“I need to figure out what is the best effort I can make this month and commit to doing that.”
Nothing about any challenge here is ever gonna be “all or nothing.” That’s why any reward is attached to reporting back not to actually…[Read more]

No worries! You can go back and check in for past days. That’s allowed!
I’m glad you’ve been staying hydrated in this heat. None of us needs dehydration or heat exhaustion.

I’m continuing with my drinking game. Today’s word is “Facebook.” Every time I hear or READ the word Facebook, I will sip!
Otherwise the no eating before bed has been pretty easy for me. It has not been easy for my dog.

It’s hot. (YOW!)
I love heat but the air quality also has not been good so I am putting my plan to walk the lake on pause until I can do it in the 8 pm hour (which I believe would be…tomorrow?) That way I at least have the benefit of sunset. But yesterday the only time I could do it was 6 and the news said the air quality and heat made it…[Read more]

Let’s talk about the struggle with the fluids. Can you describe?

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Marinades – Do you count fat grams? in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 5 months ago
I factor it into the recipe. Especially if you are working with cuts of meat like chicken, the marinade goes into the chicken (even the oil) and while not all of it goes in, for me…there isn’t much harm in counting that extra 80-100 calories (if it’s even that) per serving. Keeps me honest!
I’m interested in other thoughts on this.

In fact, here’s a quick link to get to them!
The replays are good if you can’t make the actual meetings OR if you’d like to do a self-study. I’m developing a little self-study guide so that if you missed this book, you can read it whenever you want and still have some insight!

Today is my baby brother’s birthday!
It’s also the first really hot spell for Baltimore. Our weather is so…spastic. It’ll be cool and just when you are wondering if the season will ever change…WHAMMO!
But then I think of Robin and other friends in Texas and I realize my 96 degrees is probably nothing compared to their temps!
How’s the day going?

Today is my baby brother’s birthday! (Baby = 32 lol)
Today, for fun, I’m going to play a drinking game. You are free to join me if you like. I’d like to note that I’m picking the “drink word” based on a word I know I will hear a lot. There is no further meaning to it than that!
So here’s how I’m playing the game. I will keep a bottle of water…[Read more]

That term is really for lack of a better term as it’s a TINY amount of protein.
Basically I use Fage Greek yogurt (I use it specifically because it still has liquid whey on the top unlike Dannon, etc. what either pour it off OR stabilize it with additives so that it’s not liquid). Depending on how much fruit I have (in this instance about 4 cups…[Read more]

Water – eh. About 50 oz. I’m about to grab another 20 oz. as I’m actually thirsty!
Eating – good to go.

I really like walking around the lake in the summertime. It’s 1.30 miles around and I usually do it three times, doing run/walk intervals. I do intervals based on the lamp posts, which are about 1/10 mile apart. So here’s my plan:
Monday: Lake (walk 2 lamp posts, jog 1 lamp post)
Tuesday: Lake (walk 2 lamp posts, jog 1 lamp post)
Wednesday:…[Read more] -

I’m done eating. I have one more water to go to make my goal. Bathroom visits have slowed down. I am thankful!

Let’s consider this a book club post. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!
Also I can schedule the next one (after tomorrow’s) for a different evening.

Nothing to do with this challenge but…I finally broke 10,000 steps!!!
I didn’t walk all day but I did jog 4 miles after work so…that’s how that happened.
I also managed to get JUST to 72 on the nose with water and I didn’t eat before bed.
So today is day 10, a new day. Let’s see if I can do it again!

I am at 35. And I’ve peed a lot. Hmph.
I’m gonna fill this bottle for my ride home though.
As Dorie says, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…” (literally!)

You deal with challenges like a champ, Sarah. I honestly admire that about you!
Plus you just know yourself really well. Do you know how many people don’t give credence to their personality style and how it affects things around them? I see so many people go into chaotic situations as introverts with zero coping support. I think you do a great job. 🙂

My water intake isn’t great so far today (but my coffee intake is..ugh)
I resolve from this moment forward to do better!
