Successes/Struggles: Food is going fine. My struggle is getting back into exercising every day. I am the excuse queen and it needs to stop NOW!
I won't make my goals for this month, but I have made more progress in the past week than any other week this month. I'll push myself this last week to see if I can reach halfway.
Goals for the Month:
Miles: 66 of 175
Steps: 161,000 of 400,000
-9 for the month is awesome! (And you still have another week. ) I just finished chemo in June so exercise is my weak point too. I'm proud of you!0 -

Struggles or successes of your week:
Weighed in this morning because I wanted to know where I was at today; should have probably waited until my normal weigh in day (Thursday), but my motivation/will-power was running low and better spent keeping my calories on track.
Feel pretty good about my exercise and calorie intake this week. My calculated loss more or less reflects my actual, which is always a good thing. My target for the end of the month may be a bit aggressive, but I'm still shooting for it.
Month to Date Exercise (Monthly Goal):
Cycling - 41.4 miles (100 Miles)
Jogging/Running - 14.1 miles (25 Miles)
Hiking - 13.1 Miles & 2,780' elev. climb (5 Miles)
Total - 68.5 miles (125 Miles)0 -

Thank you Kai! Anyone going through chemo gets a huge nod of respect from me - way to fight!0 -

Successes/Struggles: I've been a little hungry this week, which is ODD. Listening to my body, I've been over calories a couple of days, only one I didn't cover with exercise.
I have been much more active this week than the rest of the month, and have gotten a couple good running days in. At least I've made HALF of my monthly goals - October is a brand new month!

Struggles and successes of the week
A week of two halves - the first half was good but slower than usual, and over the weekend I came down with a nasty lurgy. So I missed my activity goals for the week, specifically I fell back on my weekly stepping, but still managed to post a loss (essentially the same this morning as I was on Friday morning). I've now beaten my stepping goal for the month and brought my calories under the cumulative target, making up for the heavy start to the month, so hoping for a strong finish to September.

Struggles or successes of your week:
Haven't been sleeping much, and have been stressed out. Calculated loss was 2lbs, and only lost 0.6 so I'm assuming that I will see a bit of a "Whoosh" next week; It'll make it easier to drop my target loss next month.
Feel pretty good about my exercise and calorie intake this week. I'm a little light on running and cycling this week, but that's so I'm rested for my 5K on Sunday.
