That's fantastic, Roger! Does this mean you only have 1 pound left to lose over the next 6 weeks?! You have done so well that I was beginning to think I'd have to change your nickname to the Incredible Shrinking Man if you lost much more!

Here's my update for the week:

I worked out every day this week and burned 3854 calories, just over my target of 3850. Much of my burn this week was done through walking around Hawaii -- hopefully calories are calories regardless of how slowly they are burned...! We did some cool kayaking, hiking and running as well. And almost every day we swam in the ocean -- unfortunately my heart monitor refused to work in the seawater so I didn't get to count any of those calories. My favorite activity was ocean kayaking across a rough bay to a quiet cove where we snorkeled. The fish were amazing! And on the row back, we were surrounded by spinner dolphins leaping and spinning around us. It was an amazing workout with incredible views.

I stayed within my calorie intake every day but one. I'm guessing it was the fruity boozy drink and bar nuts that pushed me over that day but they were worth every single sip/bite. Even with the fun stuff, I stayed within my calorie intake for the week. I'm a bit terrified to see how this translates to the scale on Wednesday but I'm ready to get serious again no matter what it says!!

cheers,
Heather
