Curvy, thank you for continuing the thread- I find it to be such a great and helpful place for accountability, support and motivation!

I'm not much for summer, but it's definitely nicer now that it's not so muddy and damp. This month, my goal is to get back into exercising everyday (walking the pup, actually getting to the gym, doing some hot yoga here and there), meet my water goals, and keep it Keto. In the land of life goal, my goal this month is to get out and socialize more Best of luck to everyone this month!

Thank you so much curvynotlumpy for starting up this thread again. And thank you for explaining your title, because I was really confused there

With the awful Winter and Spring we have had, I can't tell you how much I long for Summer. But they predict a rainy and cool one In the month of May, we had rain 25 out of 31 days, that's enough! I need sunshine and some warmth, but not too much.

My goal this month is to get through the remaining 3 weeks of the program I bought from Fitness Blender. I've tried it before and never made it past 2 weeks, but as luck would have it, I will be on staycation when the third week starts, so that should help me get over the hump. I'm really happy to report that I completed the 5 workouts this week, even though today I was procrastinating like crazy. Around 1pm we went for a long drive, since it was sunny and warm-ish (and we saw someone drive a Ghostbuster car!), but afterwards I was very tired and I fell asleep on the couch. David "nagged" at me until I got up and got moving. Of course I was in a foul mood at first but now I'm glad I completed my workout.

Wishing everyone great success this month of June!

Hello everyone. I have mixed feelings on summer. I hate the heat. At least we have low humidity. My allergies are acting up. I'm allergic to outdoor grasses, molds, weeds and silver maple trees. My eyes have been itching terribly. Colorado gets so many late afternoon storms during the summer too. We've had lots of rain and tornado and warnings lately too. We had so much snow in the mountains that at least one of the ski resorts will be open into June. The run off is predicted to make for the best rafting in years. I have school for the first eight weeks of summer, then a nice break of about a month. I'm only taking a one credit elective. So, that's good.

I need to begin working out again. I need to refocus on my weight loss. We are going to Prague in September, and I need to loose some more weight and strengthen my core. I've been enjoying purchasing new clothes and purging the too large ones. I had to get new workout pants because mine were falling off. I just asked hubby if he wanted to walk before I start watching school videos. He has been super supportive with this. He makes sure the fridge is stocked with fresh vegetables and chicken before he goes on trips. My son is doing the same plan as I. So, we support each other too. Hubby started following a modified version of what we are doing since his sugar level was borderline in February. Can't have that. When I began this plan last May, my triglycerides were high. I was on the lowest does of lipitor, but according to my diet doc, lipitor does not lower triglycerides. After only one month, my triglycerides dropped over 100 points. I realy have not missed the carbs, but every once in a while I'll crave something specific. The craving doesn't last long, and I haven't given in. I just know even when I get to goal weight, I'll most likely continue with the low carb high protein diet to maintain.

Martine and Goddess: It sounds like you’ve picked some great goals to work on! Best of luck to y’all

Just a fly-by check-in for me today. Hope the month is off to a strong start for you lovelies

opheliaphoenix it is so nice to have you with us again I wish you wouldn't have to deal with this setback but I know you have the strength to get through it and we are here for you.

imthegoddess Prague in September, what could be better than that?! I'm happy for you that your triglycerides are down with the plan you are on. And it is great that you not only have your husband's support, but he's also joining in as well as your son. Makes it much easier when everyone is on the same page.

I just finished another workout, second week of regaining my life. While I was on the floor doing "bench" presses (I don't use our bench, I feel unstable and am unable to get off of it because it's too high), Loki went in for some doggie kisses. He took advantage of the fact that I was down to his level to go on the "attack", the sneaky one.

Hope everyone has been enjoying a nice weekend

Can't there be nice weather two days in-a-row? There were tornado watches in effect in a couple of areas of Québec province last evening, that is crazy! I know there have been random tornadoes up here in the past, but I never saw a tornado warning on tv. Very scary stuff. Anyway, after a very uncomfortable night of sleeping, where I would get in a comfy position only for my body to tell me to switch positions every few minutes, I got up at 5am and got in my workout. There was a 5-minute HIIT interval in there and I hadn't done that in a looooooong time and I really struggled to catch my breath for the strength training section that came afterwards. I also noticed a twinge in my right knee towards the end, I need to be careful. Tomorrow is a core workout, so that should help rest my knee.

Have a great Monday everyone!

We can do this together. Welcome back.

Great job on your workouts.

Tornadoes are scary things. We had a number of them touch down last Sunday. It's Colorado.I know half the state is in the plains, but really? I guess this is the new norm. I grew up on the east coast. At least with Hurricanes, you know they are coming. Tornadoes are another beast. Do take care.

Casey: It’s nice to see you here again! This backslide will be a thing of the past soon enough, I know you’ll power through it and get back to where you were in no time!

Martine: I hear you on the weather-front! It would be so nice to get more than one day of nice weather in a row… although your tornado watches sound scarier than our rain Way to go on your workouts!

DayDreamer26 hope things settle down a bit for you this month.

ChickieBoom enjoy your time in the sun in Florida. I wish I was in Florida, the weather has been awful up here this Spring.

Opheliaphoenix do you like veggies? Maybe prepare portions in advance so you can enjoy late-night snacking without many calories and with a lot of nutrients? Or some fruits like berries if you have more of a sweet tooth. I'm not much help in this department because I usually fall asleep before 9pm...

Yesterday I chose to sleep in a bit longer so I chose not to exercise. But back at it early this morning with an upper body routine. I challenged myself and used 10-pound weights on some of the exercises. Aside from getting my body moving and getting healthy, a big benefit of exercising for me is that I drink more water (because I sweat a whole lot while working out) and I eat better too, because I don't want to screw up all the hard work I put in. Three more work days and then I am on staycation for 9 days. I am aiming to finish on time on Friday, even though I know something always tends to happen to get me side-tracked when I want to leave for vacation.

Happy mid-week everyone!
