Ok I’m in! Completely fallen off the wagon recently and gained too much back.
Start date - May 10th
Finish date - August 10th

May 3rd Starting Weight: 181.8 lb
May 10th Weigh-In: 184.6 lb
Challenge Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Goal Weight: 161.8 lb
Weekly Goals (May - August):
Exercise at least 5 days a week or a minimum of 210 exercise minutes: Thursday, Friday. I pulled my back on Saturday, so I was not able to get my exercise in. 🚫
Meet or stay under calorie goals at least 6 days a week (including eating back exercise calories burned). Ate over in calories and did not track accurately every day. 🚫
May Goals:
Reduce alcohol consumption to a maximum of 2 drinks per week (2 pints, or 2 glasses of wine for example) 0/2 so far, will get 1 drink tonight for dinner. ✅
Definitely a rough week in terms of exercise and food. I am planning my exercise for the rest of the month, and will be more diligent about food. I also feel bloated, so I’m hoping that this gain is partly the bloat and not actual fat.

Interesting week... I did much better with counting my calories and CICO in general. And after just a couple weeks of strength training I'm down a smidge in weight and surprised by changes in my measurements already, with clothes fitting better, feeling stronger and noticing more balance and hand eye coordination! So all-in-all quite pleased. I love the 'experiment' aspect of this challenge and I get a lot of satisfaction from fine-tuning my program. Thanks to all for traveling this journey with me!! Have a great week:)
