    Another increase. Bummer. Life has been extremely busy. After settling in for a few weeks at home, we stumbled on a property we want. So another 700 mile road trip to look at it and now the buying process is in full swing. What were we thinking? Maintaining 2 homes is crazy. We've done it before and each time we say never again. It definitely keeps us active.

    Now to get back on track with diet and running.

    Week 32. One-derland! Made some goal changes as my progress stalled after meeting a few of them (I now fit in what was once my tightest clothes in the closet, I’m no longer obese, etc.), but there's 16 pounds to go for the challenge, and 27 to go for my goal weight.

    Starting weight: 233 lbs
    Goal weight: 170 lbs
    Current weight: 197 lbs
    Total weight lost: 36 lbs, -3.1 pounds since last month

    This month's successes: A new Bike! Well, new to me. Much better suited for the—now—50+ mile rides I subject it. Generally staying within my target calorie goals (which is a polite way of saying I’ve not been as strict as I should be). While the scale is showing only modest changes, I did lose 5 inches off my measurements (18” in total).
    This month's challenges: A couple weeks of no progress and a lack of strength training at our, still closed, community gyms prevents me from leveraging large muscle exercises into my weight loss routine.
