    Final day tomorrow!! What have you learned about yourself this month?

    I learned that I can have major celebrations like my son's wedding, and still end the month without gaining any weight if I stay aware!

    Hope to see you all in Lose 5 Pounds in September!

    When I reach my goal weight? Truth be told it's still unreal that I might actually get there, so I haven't decided on anything big to reward myself. But this was fun! And it made me really take notice how fast and how easily my body is losing now that I am feeding it right. I might just see everyone in the lose 5 in Sept group!

    Bummer, I was 206 yesterday but had a high sodium dinner. I'm still happy with my four pounds since I had stalled for a few weeks. I went on vacation earlier in the month and decided to relax a bit on the counting and aim for TDEE, and when I came back I lost about 4 pounds in a few days!

    I have learned: That it really works to keep persevering when things on the scale aren't moving the way you want, and that as long as you are making good choices you will still feel fantastic. I also learned this week that it is really easy to backslide when life gets stressful and my schedule changes a lot. I have been staying under my calories, by too much some days, but my food choices haven't been nearly as great and my motivation to cook goes waaaay down.

    Can't wait for September!
