    I'm currently listening to Leigh Peele's podcast. She has a great episode about the scale loss. One of the things she said was that the weight you drop in the first week is like a loan - you drop water weight, which you then have to repay in fat. The weigh in days doesn't reflect this, but the "lowest number of the week" is dropping in small increments and small, slow progress is (I hope) being made!

    I am hoping to hit my goal by next weekend but I'm not sure if I will be able to do. Two family birthdays this week and I can feel a head cold coming on which will probably cut back on my exercise. I'm going to keep working towards my goal but I have officially hit my 5 pounds for September.

    I'm in! I started going to the gym (again) on the 12th of September. I do 40 minutes of cardio and 1 hour of strength training 4-5x a week (alternating upper and lower body). I also changed my hflc way of eating to just counting calories (but eating healthy, whole foods while still somewhat watching carbs). I'm trying to keep to 1100 calories/day for the first few weeks, then stay at around 1200. I can't believe I've lost 13 pounds so far. On Jan 1 of this year I quit smoking (cold turkey) after 29 years - and then put on 38 pounds. Now I'm ready to get that off plus 50 more!

    So far my favorite fall exercise is the treadmill - which I have always hated! My first week at the gym (3 weeks ago) I would walk for 10 minutes at 3mph and want to die. By the end of that week I could do 20 minutes. Then 30 minutes the following week and now I'm up to 40 minutes on the treadmill! My goal is 60 minutes. (I tried breaking up my cardio with other machines, but I don't like anything else yet - maybe one day).
