3/17: Oh how I would love to see 139lbs on the scale! Heck, I would love to see 139.875lbs (I have a huge scale, like the doctors office, that measures accurately to 1/8th lb).
3/6 I have been doing great with drinking 3 quarts of water. I ate a ton of carbs the last two days. It is awesome to see the scale trending down.0 -

I lost 10lbs last March and then COVID happened and I completely let go after being overwhelmed with job loss, kids in virtual school and just being hidden in general.

I’ve stuck to my calorie budget 1200-1400 a day depending on how hungry I am. Have slacked on the water, but made it to exercise 5 days a week. Almost there!0 -
Starting weight: 129
Goal weight for challenge: 123 (to lose 6 lbs)
Ultimate goal: 120
Mini Goals:
1- Fitness 👟 (Exercise 3 hours every 6 days)

Mini Goal Progress:
1- The habit of first morning coffee and then exercise, is set. 🎉
2- Calorie planning is working. Although, it still amazes me that there are a ridiculous amount of calories in a tiny slice of cake. 🎉
3- Drinking 48-64oz water. Most days getting in 40 oz.
Don’t think I’m going to hit my St. Patrick’s Day goal. I’m going to keep trying, I’ll get there eventually. Maybe the luck o’ the Irish will move the scale.
Happy Sunday everyone 🍀0 -

3/17:
Week 3: Did OK this week- jogged twice and hiked once and did yoga 6/7 days. Feeling pretty good!
Week 1: Only made it to jog 2 x this week between lots of winter weather, but looks like this week will be better! I did keep to my daily yoga practice which was really helpful with feeling stuck inside.
Week 2: Not sure what happened this week, but I've been at or close to my calorie goal so I'm trusting the process and we'll see what the scale says next week! Again only got in two jogs, but also squeezed in a couple of solid walks and did my yoga 6 out of 7 days. Here's to week 3!

Amazing! I'm very pleased with this. Snacks are still a struggle, but my average over the last 7 days was 364 cal/day in snacks, so that's at least going down. I think it helps to plan to spread out the "snacky" components of my lunch throughout the day, rather than eating it all at once at noon; like, if I pack a main + some fruit + peanut butter crackers for lunch, it seems to help if I eat the fruit around 10 AM, the main at noon, and the peanut butter crackers at 3 PM. The challenge is on days when I work from home, all of my snacks are just Right There.1 -

Not losing at a rate that I’m super happy with given how hard I’m working, but trusting that discipline will pay off. One weekend left to go! We’ve (me & husband) kept cheating off the table really, but celebrating st. Patty’s with Guinness brownies 🤤 and then back on track for spring1 -

UPDATE! I was able to make it down the final stretch!! I started walking 10k steps everyday (in addition to my crossfit exercises) and upped my water intake. Really helped with seeing some numbers start to shed off again.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day all! I still need to search for that pot of gold under the rainbow. I am 3/4 to the goal I set for myself. I need to refocus on cardio/weight training and be more diligent on my food measurements. Yoga consistently will help. Managed to lose 8.5. Will look for another challenge to hold me accountable going forward. Erin Go Braugh!1
