Fish Chowder
Oh yes. I'm making this or rather doing a make over of this or some other fish chowder recipe. Not this week. Maybe Sunday or next week. I saw a tomato based broth fish chowder on another website that looks tasty. Salivating. Lol
11/27~ 178 (Somehow I dropped 6lbs in two weeks. No idea how that happened!)
December 4~ 176.6 (So annoyed. Definitely should be lower. I’ve been so good about my calories

)
12/11~ 172.8 (HECK YEAH BOIS)
12/18~ 170.6 (Only mad because I weighed in .4lbs lower the last two days, but also I have the world's most obnoxious cold right now so maybe that's part of it I DUNNO)
12/26~ 169.0 (A day late and SO WORTH IT. Had a great Christmas and I'm pretty happy with today's weigh in!)
January 2, 2019~ 169.0 (A day late again. I also forgot to post this, and now I'm actually up .4 from this. 2019 starting out rough.)

My name is Jenn I have 5 kids (1st one just left for college this year and another one that will be leaving next year). I am 39 and married to an amazing man. I work full time and have very little time to work out. Hopefully once the younger kids 10 and 13 get a little older, I will have more time. Right now I focus on eating right and maybe two to three times a week getting 45 minutes or so of cardio.
Beginning Weight ~ 175-178
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 155.3
Challenge Goal Weight ~ 135
My weigh in days will be Friday (these are usually my lowest weights, lol)
November 20, 2018 ~ 155.3
11/23 ~ 157.8 day after Thanksgiving uugggh
11/30 ~ 153.8 that looks better
December 7 ~ 152.3 I thought this week I would have been lower. Did really well. Not a drop of alcohol, clean eating, lots of water, and everything. I just don't think my body can lose 2 pounds a week no matter what. I am getting closer to my goal weight, so maybe that's why to. I am proud that I stuck to my plan this week and am down 1.5 pounds, so I'll take it!
12/14 ~ 151.1 Going in the right direction for sure. Hopefully we can keep this pattern going!
12/21 152.8 And I am back up again,lol. I'm holding on for dear life for December. I am still down 1 pound this month and that maybe all I get.
12/28 ~152.3 Going back down. Had a lot to lose after Christmas though. One more holiday weekend and we are back on track. Happy New Year everyone!
January 4, 2019 ~ 153.3 Holidays are over and my time off from work is done. So at least I maintained within a couple of pounds, but it is now time to get in the 140's. I have 5 weeks till vacation and that same weekend my second oldest turns 18. So my goal is 145!
1/11 ~ 150.9 Been here for 3 days. Was hoping it would finally drop lower for today's weigh-in, but maybe next week I can post a better one.

Okay. I got busy with some other things and didn't have time to assemble my links for the challenge. This app is giving me grief too. Challenge tomorrow. I'll post by 7pm. Challenge starts on Sunday. Thanks ladies.
**Each challenge will be for 7 days**
**Each challenge will help us establish and reinforce good healthy habits**
**Take your measurements on day 1 of the first challenge. No need to post them. They are for body measurement comparisons throughout and at the end of the challenge. January 20, 2019 and March 17, 2019 - We should notice some significant changes. First measurements at the end of this Challenge!
Watching some of the links and pulling out my skin brush I bought about a year ago and used faithfully for about a week. I know this is important stuff though, so I'm back at it. I'm enjoying the lymphatic massage videos and will try that this week also as time allows.
@deepwoodslady, I watched the video in entirety last night. Very informative and Mr. Cinti does an excellent job of explaining/teaching the functions of the lymphatic system.
I love skin brushing, but I'm never consistent with it. Last time I used mine was in December for about a week.

@reflectionofme, @eatingfoodles and @NuggetBrain, excellent updates! Mid January and you've successfully navigated away from holiday eating mindset. I used to gain weight IN January, not through the holiday season.
