    295.4 lbs - weighin on 04/30 -- (-13.2 Total Loss to date)
    291.2 lbs - weighin on 05/30 -- loss = 4.2 lbs for month of May (17.4 lb Total Loss To Date)
    293.2 lbs - weighin on 06/27 -- gain = 2.0 lbs for month of June (15.4 lb Total Loss To Date)
    289.8 lbs - weighin on 07/25 -- loss = 3.4 lbs for month of July (18.8 lb Total Loss To Date)
    291.2 lbs - weighin on 08/01 -- gain = 1.4 lbs -- (17.4 lb total loss to date)
    294.8 lbs - weighin on 08/08 -- gain = 5.4 lbs -- (12.0 lb total loss to date)
    291.4 lbs - weighin on 08/15 -- loss = 3.4 lbs -- (15.4 lb total loss to date)
    291.2 lbs - weighin on 08/22 -- loss = 0.2 lbs -- (15.6 lb total loss to date)
    289.4 lbs - weighin on 08/29 -- loss = 1.8 lbs -- (17.4 lb total loss to date)

    August Mini Goal -- 285 lbs - (need to lose 6.2 lbs or 1.5/week)
    First Major Goal = Onederland
    Goal Weight = 165 lbs

    AUGUST GOALS ---
    (1) Log everything; Drink 10+ water; minimize sodium where possible
    (2) Exercise 30 min minimum (3000 steps) 5 days each week / LOG
    (3) Clean 30 min per day: house or yard or declutter / LOG
    (4) Do stretches and Yoga 5 days each week / LOG
    (5) Stay within MFP daily goal; not exercise adjusted goal / LOG
    (6) Once each week, get out of the house and do something FUN


    STEP CHALLENGE ---

    08/22 - 08/29 -- 3000 each day


    TASKS FOR TODAY ---
    Do 20 min stretches and 30 min of walking
    Feed & Water animals -- done
    Go to Farmer's Market
    Vacuum

    Loss to date is the same as the beginning of the month. Had a large gain and was able to whittle it back off! I guess I should consider that a success. Mainly, I'm still here ... still fighting!! Prior years I'd have thrown in the towel and quit. But, not gonna do that ..... gonna keep plugging away, keep whittling away. As I said in my profile: I know how quitting feels ... I want to know what FINISHING feels like!!

    So, we start a new month. A new chance to succeed. Good Luck Y'All 🌞

    Tracked: Yes
    Under Calorie: Yes
    Exercise: Yes
    Steps: 11046
    Water: 128oz

    I decided to see what I could do in the mornings to up my steps during the day versus only getting the majority of them on my nightly walk. I tried a walking video on YouTube. It was only 15 minutes, was suppose to be about a mile, and I did 1500 steps during it. It was a nice little boost to my steps. My kids sure thought it was funny too haha.
