    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)-

    08/08-194.6-(Trend Weight: 195.6)- I had 3 bad days this week and I’m really paying for it. The scale went even higher earlier in the week because of 1 travel day, one festival day and one cereal binge day, but I’ve been putting in the work. I’m still one pound up but committed to doing everything I can before the next travel day derails me later in the month. I’ve been pre-logging, focusing on water and putting in 30 minutes of straight exercise along with my mild strength training. It adds up.


    08/15-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Very early travel today for routine mammogram and oncologist appt. 4 hour drive each way. Hopefully I am still in full remission. Diet & Exercise has been horrible. What I am doing is just not sustainable. I’ve got to rethink my MFP goals and tweak.
