Today at the gym I was running. I've heard commentary of members at the Y...."if you need to find Lynsey, she's on the treadmill". I go just about daily around the same time, I've begun talking with other members, getting familiar with them, etc. I set my goal for my run, but I was wanting to stop...and by the grace of God...a woman (who's name I don't know) stops in front of my treadmill, looks at me, and gives me a thumbs up. I take my earpod out and it goes something like this...we'll call her Jane.
Jane: Good Job!!
Lynsey: Thanks, I'm trying.
Jane: Trying, girl, you're doing it...you're not trying.
Wow! What a way to look at it. I was doing it. She had no clue I was working towards a goal, but she knew I was there, working hard...and she motivated me. I increased my time, instead of slowing down. I thought off all of you; you are doing this, you are losing weight...you're not trying...you're doing it!
Remember, find something you love to do to get your body moving. Moving is key to losing weight.
In addition for your food journals, I recently heard to add the time you are eating and mark how hungry you truly are. This will help you with trying to stay constant (metabolism moving).
Finally, I'm about to start working on the next round of this and creating/posting it on facebook, etc. Before I put the dates up, for those that would like to do another round, do you want to keep going...or would you like a one week break of weighing in. Your choice.
Keep up the good work....and remember, do something for you today, be mindful of what goes in your mouth...and keep moving!

I say it all depends on how many people are involved that might be new for this new round. If there are going to be some new people, then I say give it a week. If it is all the same people that are doing it now, then I say don't give it a break.
