Uggh....I'd been at 124.0 earlier this week (I've got the picture on my cell phone to prove it!) but I'm sure my weigh-in this week is not going to be that nice. Wow....at this stage in the game it is so hard to stay committed. I'm not saying "I'm done! I don't have to try anymore!" No way (I made that dumb mistake 10 years ago). What I'm saying is that after 10 months of non-stop hardcore workouts 6 days a week my body is breaking down. My left knee is at the point where it aches most of the day and my energy level is rapidly declining. I'm just worn out. I'm really ready to be at the point where I can work out 4 days a week 45 minutes a day and be able to easily maintain everything that I have worked so hard to achieve. Sorry...I'm really not trying to be Debbie Downer. I just need a little stress relief. Things will be better after the 28th (when this looming project for work will finally be behind me).

Best wishes to you all! You are doing a great job!!!

It seems that 114 is the magic number for me right now. I'm okay with that. The next month and a half will be the most challenging for me with parties to host and baking cookies for the kiddies. My 3 worst temptations this time of year are eggnog/alcohol, Wintry Spice Nut Mix, and the CHRISTmas M & M's. I cannot do moderation so my challenge is to stay away from these at all costs.

So I am still at 205, down almost a total of 10 pounds since this started, got my jog in this morning- went 6 miles. But once again I didn't meet my mini goal, beginning to wonder if i set the bar to high with these mini goals. Haven't been able to accomplish a single one on time

Stayed the same. I started my week really well and was on track for another great loss and then I started rewarding myself for such great effort. So glad that in the end it wasn't a gain.

newmeat30..... don't be discouraged. You have done so well. I was unable to sleep last night and was up reading yet another health magazine. It was from one our gym chains here. There is an article about the importance of rest days particularly for the elite athelete or those that have reached their goal. I am no where near. But it was interesting. It stated rest days were more important at this stage and many mentally struggle with allowing the body to rest. It starts at having one rest day a week and then one every 3 to 4 days and even building up to 5 rest days in a row. Maybe your body is ready for this. Hang in there. Think of how far you have come.

This is not good... gained another 0.5 lb to weigh in at 144. Also had to make a sudden stop to 30DS and running due to knee injury (stupid lunges in 30DS :grumble: )
