 back to my channel and welcome if you're new here happy Friday it's Friday again it is gorgeous here today it's supposed to be in the 90s which is crazy as soon as I am done filming today's weigh-in video I have floor time at my real estate office and then I'm heading home because we are in the midst of planting new shrubs throughout our property and I'm so excited we're loving it it's been something we've wanted to do for the last oh three years and we're just now getting around to it so we're so excited I've been getting in a ton of exercise a ton of movement I think I had 105 active minutes just yesterday afternoon with a few hours of planting so I have today and tomorrow that will be doing that and honestly I'm a little sore my body's a little sore from yesterday which is great that means I worked hard so with that being said this week's been great it's been busy super busy it's been a little bit stressful but overall it's been a great week I had a good week eating wise but I'm going to tell you right now I did not do calorie cycling and I'm going to tell you why after we talk about this week's workshop so if you want to hear how the workshop went what we talked about and how my weigh-in went stay tuned week's topic was actually about springing into summer and it's so funny because for this last week I've been thinking about a challenge for myself to make it through summer like a 90-day type of a challenge and I've been kind of rolling all these ideas around in my head and then walla the topic is springing into summer and making a game plan for summer so I did decide on kind of a challenge that I wanted to do I did talk about it over on my Facebook group so if you're not on my Facebook group I'll put it right there on the screen for you guys head on over and join us I'm going to be doing a big 90-day challenge within my Facebook group to make it through summer some weight loss goals some activity goals lots of prizes giveaways zoom calls so don't miss out so head over and join us on Facebook but this week's topic was thinking about how it's been we know this year's been crazy things are not normal our complete routines have done a 360 just life in general has completely changed for us and it's not going to be back to the old normal anytime soon or if at all so with summer here we need to think about how we're going to make it through summer and develop a new game plan for the new world situation to make it through the summer months and come out losing weight feeling better healthier and happier so the three tips that came from WW are excellent and these are tips to reflect back on what you've been doing over the last few months and deciding which of those things you want to take with you into summer so a great place to start is think about what's been working for you and don't say nothing because something has been working for you it may not be weight loss related it may be non-skill victory it may be health related but something has been working for you over the last few months sit down and write that thing or those things down on a piece of paper when we write things down it sticks with us a lot better than if we just say them or think them if we physically write them down it's something that sticks with us longer and much easier some things to think about is what helped you in your weight loss journey what made you feel good made you feel balanced made you feel motivated those are the types of things that we want to write down and like I said even the small things count non-scale victories did you take extra walks over the last few months because you were at home and you had a little bit more spare time on your hands did you see that you lost a little bit more weight because you weren't able to go out to dinner or go to the grocery store and buy all those things that prevented you maybe from losing as much in the past but really reflect write down the good things that you took away from the last few months and then take at least one of those items and write it in a separate column this is the item or items that you're going to take forward through the summer months that are going to help you continue to be successful lose weight reach your health goals and just be better mentally and physically overall number two is write down something that you would like to do this summer build up your positive vibes what is one thing that's on your bucket list for this summer that is doable that you think that you can achieve try asking yourself what do you want to accomplish by the end of summer and then write that one thing or those things down in that other column with the first item so make sure that they're being realistic that these are things that are doable over the next 60 to 90 days and they are things that are going to keep you motivated and on track now take a look at that column the second column and find two things on that column that you really really want to focus out on now really think about it think about how this plays into your why think about how realistic these are and really decide on two things that are going to be your focus this summer now when you're deciding on these things think about your personal situation your friends your family even your home space when deciding which of these two things you're really going to take a big focus on this summer and lastly pinpoint what is the step you can take this week to make this happen to make this the healthiest the best the most active the biggest weight loss summer so far I think these tips are fantastic they're realistic they're doable and it's just going to take a little bit of time to sit down and create those two columns and decide which couple of things that you want to focus on this summer for me because I've been thinking about this for a while and setting up a 90 day challenge my big things for focus for me this summer are to continue to lose weight I do have a weight loss goal in mind that of course I will share in my challenge group on Facebook and also my activity continuing to get in activity throughout the summer months and not letting it slack off because it's hot outside or I just don't feel like going outside and driving somewhere or going on a walk making sure that I'm continuing to get in my exercise in my movement because I know that not only does that make me feel better but it definitely helps in my weight loss journey as well so speaking of weight loss journey let's talk about this week so like I mentioned my food went really well this week I tracked everything both in the lucid app and the ww app but I decided not to do calorie cycling and the reason for that is because I'm actually going to be changing things up a bit for this summer challenge I'm going to be still having the one day a week that I eat more calories my points my weeklies and then I have a calorie goal smart point goal for the rest of the week so I decided to not do the calorie cycling this last week because basically I will be calorie cycling essentially throughout the entire summer I'll be sharing all of that information on my facebook group in that challenge as well but that's why I chose not to pursue the calorie cycling this last week but I did stay on track I made good food choices good clean whole healthy food choices I did not do jazz or size at all and I don't have really any excuse to be honest to share with you guys other than this last week was extremely busy it was extremely busy with youtube it was busy with real estate and then I've been in my yard a lot so I feel like I've gotten in my three workouts and then some just doing yard work sometimes that's the workout we have to do we have to make do with what life throws us and sometimes when we're super busy or we have a lot on our plate we can't do the regular exercise that we're used to doing but as long as we're getting in some steps and some movement I think that is a win so for me I feel like I did my workouts just not jazz or size this week so when I stepped on the scale to round out the month of June I lost one pound that means that I have lost every single week in the month of June which is so exciting and that means for the month of June I lost a total of 4.2 pounds pretty close to where I need to be to hit that 50 pounds loss I did do an update on my 2020 goals I'll link that video down below for you guys where I share with you kind of the amount that I have to lose each month in order to hit 50 pounds lost by the end of the year I'm on track I'm happy I'm thrilled that I ended June during the pandemic and all the craziness with a 4.2 pound loss so I'm incredibly proud of myself so this week I'm going into the mentality of this summer challenge I'm looking to have a good loss the first week of July it's July how crazy is that and really start getting back into jazz or size our studios open up on Monday the 29th of June which is so incredibly exciting we can only sign up for two classes at it per week and there can only be five people per class so it's really hard to get into a class but I was able to score a few slots so I will be going back to jazz or size really the beginning of July was the soonest that I could get a slot for a class so that's going to really help keep me involved in my exercise goals because if I'm in the class sign up I have to go or they charge you a fee if you don't show up or if you cancel due to the only five people per class rule so that's going to help keep me on track with jazz or size I'm excited for this summer challenge for weight loss for my food I cannot wait so from you guys I want to hear do you have a goal for summer are you going to take these tips and tricks that ww shared with us and
