Self-care includes suit shopping with my mom for my interview tomorrow (eeeek) and I'm officially down one pant size! There were also lots of skype calls, some house cleaning, and general relaxing. Despite the weight gain, it was a good week. In my defense, Sundays are always a high calorie day because I'm basically awake from 1am to 10pm. Can't wait to get away from that.0 -

Ah, I am falling off the wagon! I need more intentionality and discipline. This shall be my motivation for the coming week. These past two weeks have been tough in regard to dissertation work, eating fruits and veggies, drinking enough water, and keeping up with marathon training. (I skipped my LONG run this week! No, no, no!) I hope this time next week I will report back that I got back on track.0 -
We are doing wonderfully!0

again.. It will have to budge soon, as I have been consistent with logging and eating.. going over at times with healthy options - large helping of stew when it was 2 degrees - instead of regular.. lol
Self care: reading/knitting/visiting/ walking with friend/lunch with friend/ refusing an extra shift/mowing/gardening/threw out old pair of runners that were hurting feet. lol0 -
Another week not doing so well. I took the last few days and just have tried to reset my focus. I think I'm back on it mentally. Now to just get back on it physically and keep my willpower going, and I'll be back on a roll!

Yikes! I have been under the weather and lost track of time! So sorry about the delay!!
Here are the weekly results: Weekly Winner (woo!): DOIN-IT (she clearly is!).
And the cumulative leader: MOTHEROFBRIDETOBE!!
As a postscript: I realized that when I delete the images from photobucket they are deleted here too (I delete the old ones every week, so all of the old posts here are sans charts). I tried this out before, but for some reason they stayed. All this to say that I am sorry for deleting the last reports....I will stop doing so in the future. Live and learn!0 -
Eliazbeth--Thanks for the charts! You are amazing;) Hope you are feeling better!0
