Easter Challenge

It's so awesome to see people hitting their mini-goals and milestones! Excellent job everyone!

I don't think I'll get to my goal weight by Easter, but it was such a stretch goal anyways! I'm revising my "Easter" goal to 145 lbs, which is slightly more than 2lbs per week through then.

I did not loss any weight but I did not gain either:grumble:. Not really sure what happened because I did extremely well with my workouts and maintained my eating. Maybe I will get a BIG surprise next week.

May the 1/2 pound a week thing is working! Whatever it is, I'm going to try to keep it up! I admit that recently I've totally lost it with the sodium. It's a hectic time right now, and I haven't MADE the time to cook healthy. I've just gone with easy, but not too many calories. Which ALWAYS means a LOT of sodium. Next week is Spring Break though (YEA!!!!) and I am hoping to be able to cook and freeze some relatively healthy meals for us to pull out. The spring is ALWAYS a busy time in the music area with all the contests and concerts and extra performances. But if I can just make it a few more weeks, then I can switch to a whole different kind of hectic: summer! In the meantime, I HAVE to scratch out the time and energy to cook right, not just easy. That is my challenge to myself for the next month: Cook healthier.

Yay!! Beat my 5k time from last Sept by 6min!! FInished at 38:14 this morning :drinker:

On a differnet note, I think I may have the hubby take the scale away for a couple of weeks or something. :ohwell:

Hey all - life's been really crazy (in the not so good way) lately - I skipped weigh-in last week and this morning I'm 5 lbs up. I'm pretty sure some of that is water weight, since I know I haven't been *that* bad... that would require me to have eating 1250 calories above maintenance every day for the last 2 weeks.

But I logged the weight and hope to get back down to 177 next week.

It's super important to celebrate non-scale goal like that.
