Hey all, I want to keep our group together as much as you would like to be together to share wins continually. I wanted to see what the best place to connect going forward is. Skool is an additional cost each month, so I was going to use a free resource for us until the next challenge. I was thinking either Discord, a Facebook community, or an Instagram community. Anybody have any recommendations or preferences? Want to do what's best for the community

I landed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia yesterday. Didn’t do so well with sticking to the diet on the day of travel! 😣 Always difficult to stick to a high protein diet when I can’t cook my own food. So I did the wrong thing and didn’t eat for most of the day then I was so hungry that I ate ALL the wrong things! Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk, moving on and back to better meals today (as soon as I find a place to buy the filleted chicken breasts that I usually cook). At least I have found eggs, so that will get me back on track for now. I have also registered to play in some social games on Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon - so 6 hours of pickleball planned for today! YES!!!

I had been logging, lifting, and pickleballing with precision. My weight loss stalled a bit. Coming off WAY too slow. I was bummed. My trainer suggested I weigh in with his InBody scanner and as it turns out....DRUMROLL...I actually dropped 3.5% of my BODY FAT and my muscle mass WENT UP. So screw the prize. I'm already WINNING. The scale NEVER tells the whole story, kids! My clothes fit looser and I am feeling strong. Faster on the court! Celebrated by buying myself a new RPM Q2. 🥰🥰🥰

For all you ladies out there in the 45-55 range, our progress may look different! Please keep going! This might be a 60 day challenge but true progress is a long-game. At 50, I've been plugging away for years. My goal this time is to drop my body fat percentage a bit. But my blood work is CLEAN. That's from consistency in exercise. I hang onto that every time I think about giving up. We got this! 💪

I've been crushing it lately but had I camped overnight with my daughter's scout troop. I was bored and inhaled almost a whole bag of pickle flavored potato chips. Processed food is designed for overconsumption. Those bastards! 😆 But I tracked those chips anyways. I didn't play as much last week on top of it. My calorie deficit averaged 375 instead of 500 but it's a win because I still stuck to it. I lost less but I did lose. Diet fatigue is real. Sometimes you want to just eat freely without the confines of weighing and measuring but for me, I can't be trusted when I'm bored around processed delicious junk food. Fortunately, no more campouts until September! 😅
