I'm doing a 5K race this Saturday and going on vacation on Sunday so the next weigh-in will be in two weeks. The goal is to not gain any weight.
06/19 - 172.6 Slowly but surely I'm moving in the right direction. I had lots of yummy food on vacation yet stayed pretty active (tennis, weights, running, and swimming).
06/26 - out of town, no scale.
07/03 - 170.2 I'm happy with the results so far but I will have to push myself just a tad bit harder to meet my challenge goal.
07/10 - 169
I have another 5K coming this Saturday 🏃🏻♀️ Today I feel especially good about the whole process 💪
07/17 - 167.8 It was a great week for me: lots of workouts, healthy food choices, saying "no" to desserts, and being active through the day most days. All because of the race
If only I could do this every week! 
07/24 - 167 Another good week. I'd like to incorporate more mobility work and weight training in the next few weeks.
07/30 - 166.8 Slow progress is still progress Just one more month left! 3 -

Okay, this is kind of funny. I lost exactly 20 pounds and I was convinced that wouldn't happen. I lost exactly 20 pounds in the last challenge too. So weird, but I'm happy.
I still am going to drop my challenge level to 3 for the next round, so that it's less stressful.4 -
