    Well today was an exciting day. I finally adopted my dog. I ended up rescuing a senior beagle from the pound. She is 13 and her name is Molly. She should help me improve my steps.

    Hi Linda. Many blessings and thanks to you for adopting a senior dog. Many of my dogs during my 60 years have been adopted seniors and they gave me such joy. It was almost as if they would thank me every day for rescuing them. Such a delight!

    And don't fret over the weight. I am very sensitive to increased sodium. I ate a spaghetti meal from the Walmart deli for lunch and dinner yesterday and gained 1 1/2 pounds overnight. I try to keep my sodium below 1,800 for my blood pressure, but it is difficult with any meal that I don't cook myself. Hang in there!

    Goals for rest of week:
    1. 30 minutes cardio every day but Sunday - oops, did not do my cardio Thursday. I am kicking myself, but must move forward.
    2. Stay within calories every day - Met goal for Thursday!
    3. Eat properly to keep blood glucose under 140 at daily test. Yay! Met goal for Thursday. Was a little worried about the pasta in my Walmart spaghetti meal, but it wasn't a huge amount and my blood glucose was good.

    This week has been a pretty hard week for me. I've had a hard time with overeating so I'm not very excited to see what my weight is tomorrow. I know a lot of my issue is due to the back pain I'm having from getting a new chiropractor. (When I dont feel very good I tend to overeat)

    Was able to drop the water weight despite the continued celebrations. My birthday was last Monday and my husband’s was Sunday. Our kids came in town and threw us a surprise 60th birthday party on Saturday! Trying to get back on plan this week, despite dealing with a sick doggo. She spent two nights at the vet and while home now, she’s not eating much. We fear the end is nearing. (She also had a birthday last week, her 12th) Knee is slowly improving but not totally past limping. I have a continuing education deadline next week, which always causes me too eat poorly so I’m hoping to be more focused next week.

    Had veggies, mostly leafy beans and fresh tomato carrot onion salad.
    No run, no lifting, just walking. My legs and arms are sore from yesterday and I have a run scheduled tomorrow.
    This week I have been good on target, except running, couldn't run today so will have to run on Sunday as well.
    Wishing all of you a nice weekend!

    It is disappointing but I know it is some water weight. I changed my calorie deficit to give me a rate of loss of 1 pound a week as I was finding I was really hungry. Maybe this is too many calories and I need to watch my sodium intake. Almost every day I was over the recommended 2300 mg of sodium intake. I will not make make my green challenge.

    Don't let it bother you too much, sodium does impact a lot. I have 4 litre water, 2 cup Green tea, beetroot juice/banana to flush out excess sodium. Anything high in potassium is good to combat extra sodium.

    I did stay within my calories yesterday. I was right last night about the sodium affecting my weigh in. I have treaded water 4 days this week so far. Yesterday’s steps were 9,371. I can’t wait to set some goals for week 5 of the challenge.

    @cre804 amazing loss this week. Glad your knee is feeling better.
    @Smart_Beautiful_and_Strong way to go on the awesome loss!
    @ssummerlin80 great goals
    @pjshawley great job staying within your calories and meeting your blood glucose goal.
    @mustb60 you are killing those goals

    @lindamtuck2018 thanks for always encouraging us!
    I am having kind of veggie blast today! Beetroot, coconut, coriander leaves paste, ridge gourd, sambar ( a tangy lentil and mixed veg soup) and stir fry potato with white rice.
