Changergirl - Sounds like a delicious reset!

GUYSSSSS Im down 14lbs so far!!! FOURTEEN!!!! Thats a lot for me and my lazy self! I am so excited

Good Job Pixie, that is fantastic. I'm still stuck plateauing, though I think (hope/wish/pray) that I'm getting past it. Saw my lowest scale # ever on Sunday which was exciting. Sadly it didn't stick around due to TOM.

I've decided to stop doing NROLFW. I really enjoyed doing the exercises and I did feel I was getting stronger however I still have too much fat to lose. I'm also heading home in 2.5 weeks and I'd like to lose some more weight before then so I'm focusing more on Cardio. I just ordered Drop Two Sizes and when I get back to Korea I'm going to start doing that which is 12 weeks long and then I'll get back into NROLFW hopefully a bit smaller than I am now.

Changergirl - Sounds like a good plan.

pixie - Daayum, that's awesome! Congrats!

Oh, I've been so bad lately!

I only missed 2 days in June, but I've already missed 6 days this month. Six!! Eek. Time to recommit.

Crispin, I haven't been doing the greatest this month either. And I have the best reason to be fit, heading home after not seeing my friends and family for a year. I'm also going on a winery bike tour which scares me a bit, the last time I rode a bike outside it was not pretty.

Hello everyone, I've been absent from the internet for a while. I also took a week off from any exercise as I was having some issues and felt I needed rest. My weight has crept up a couple of pounds so now that I'm feeling able to exercise I'm getting serious again. I restarted 30 Day Shred. I won't do it 6 days a week like I did the first time but plan to do it at least 3 days/week along with other activities. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do all of the exercises in Level 1 with 8 lb weights. That felt like a small victory since I was feeling a little down on myself for my time off.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one struggling this month, but you certainly have me beat since I missed 7 days in a row (not to mention other days here and there). We just all need to hang in there. :hug:

Awesome!! :bravo:

I also decided to put my Strong Curves workout on hold in favor of a more fat burning workout (30 Day Shred) because I feel the same way. I'm feeling a bit soft and want to shed a few more pounds before I hit the weights in a more serious way.

Maybe there's just something about July that makes exercise less appealing?

I realize for me it's because my routine changed. I had been craaaazy busy for...oh, years. But I've had way more free time the past 3 weeks. Routine changes always seem to result in me becoming a sloth. Too bad I didn't get an uncontrollable urge to fill my free time with ab exercises (that urge would surely be a sign of the apocalypse).

You may not be exactly where you want to be for your trip home, but I bet you've made amazing progress! The winery bike tour sounds like so much fun. If the bike riding doesn't go so well, you could always blame it on the booze. :D

Ah, thanks bunnabear. I was so mad at myself. I was even tempted to fake some entries :lol: but then I would've just been even more mad at myself for being so shady.

I think I should change my goal. I wanted to exercise 6 days a week, but I that's just not something I can sustain long-term. I think I'll drop my goal to 5.

This challenge is a great learning experience. On my own, right around now I'd probably just say, "screw it" and get super sporadic with exercise. But I want to stay in the challenge so I'm making a more reasonable adjustment. Too bad I can't make challenge threads here for my non-weight/fitness issues also haha!

Last month, guys! How are you all doing? Ready to rock it? :carrot:

Where my 90-day challenge homiez? :wave: Is it just me?
