    Day 14
    Another long day. Didn't really start on task until after 5:15pm. Respect to folks that work long hours and still manage to do this. I had a 7 hour work day today, and it felt like I had no time to spare. Expecting a good weigh-in in 12 hours or so.

    Day 19
    The days have been long. I have started working part-time, this is Soooo much easier to do when you have all day to do it. Respect to people who do this with a full time job, kids and other stresses.

    Yesterday was the first time that I thought about not doing it. Ending up getting my last 2000 steps in at 9pm.

    Good news, I have the next few days off and plan on walking extra and getting my challenge task done earlier. Also, my weight this morning was 205.5 so on track.

    Day 28
    Been busy with work. All going well, my weight this morning was 202.8. Which is very good. I'm planning on cutting down my breakfast portion sizes some. My breakfast has seen about a 250 calorie increase since the start of this challenge. The result is I have been doing 2 1/2 meals a day. Thinking about cut back on breakfast adding a few calories to my 1/2 meal and maybe cut my base by 100 calories. With the weight I'm losing I believe I will need to lower my base at some point.

    Hoping for a good check-in about 22 hours from now!
