Ok, haven't checked in since Saturday so need to get back on track.

Staying under calorie goal has not always been successful the last couple of days. So need to tighten the reins on that today. I did prep some food and lunches for this week on Sunday which will help a lot.

I have been meeting my exercise goals and on Sunday jogged for 2 miles without stopping again. Will try again to do the same tonight.

Goals for Day 29

- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal
- Jog two miles without stopping

Milestone 3 weigh in tomorrow. Excited to see how the group will do.

10,055 cal deficit so far, for the 8 days since last milestone. Yet it's been a motivation challenge to have bounced several lbs above last weigh in each day until this morning when I'm back to some loss finally. Earlier this period i worked over night on a client project and that seems to have had a jetlag effect, poor sleep / stress definitely plays a role, as well as tracking steps and exercise and logging all food. Also making a converted effort to drink more water and tea probably helps. Hoping I'll manage a bit of movement on the scale before next checkin but it's very close now.

Hit my goals yesterday. Yay! Not sure how I'm going to do with the milestone weigh in tomorrow. As of right now, I'm at the same weight as the last weigh in, but last time it was an unexpected downward drop that day (that then went right back up). This time I'm at that weight for real.

Goals today:
1. stay within calories
2. 10,000 steps
3. 3 mile run

Was over calories yesterday, had a stressful day and just seemed hungry and nothing satisfied me. Did do my 5am DVD workout and went for a 7k walk/jog last night to help combat the overage on calories. Today I must rein in my cravings and get back on track.
Goal:
Remain within calories
Drink lots of water
5 am DVD - done
30 min spin class
1 hr boot camp
Not looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow. I'm afraid it may be a gain.

For today I plan to drink a lot of water and try and keep my sodium down for the weigh-in tomorrow.
-Walk 10000
-Stay within my calories
-Workout at the gym

Simple goals today:
- 5k run at lunch
- 12 glasses of water before leaving the office
- No snacking after dinner

Yesterday went well for me, six mile run and within cals. Today I plan a light jog, walking to and from my daughters preschool, and staying within cals. After eating out so much last week, I would be lucky to not have gained tomorrow. But I am hoping for the best and happy to have been back on track since Saturday. Good luck all!

Yesterday I didn't check in. I stayed home from work because my shoulders were so knotted up I could barely sit up, and I was doped up on muscle relaxers all day. I'm glad I didn't go CRAZY overboard, but I still ate about 400 cal over my limit (though still under maintenance, so I'm not too bothered).

So far I'm doing alright with sticking to my limit. I've had a couple days here and there where I've pushed it, but they're balanced by the days I'm under. Today I'm aiming to stay under calories, keep sodium levels reasonable, drink enough water, and go to the gym if my tics don't catch up with me. My pain yesterday was because of a massive ticcing fit I had on Sunday night, and I'm lucky things are better now. I'm frustrated because usually my injections that help reduce the tics last 7-8 weeks, but this is only 6.

I'll see what beautiful place pictures I have handy - unfortunately most of my fitness activities are indoors.

Didn't do much exercise today... quite busy at work, got only 7500 steps in, but ate accordingly.
Plan on going running tomorrow evening though.

Did something this morning i have never done before. I went running by myself. It was really windy and atually enjoyed running into it. Managed to increase my speed even and could still breathe and talk at the end. Only did 2.5k. But did another 5k with the hubby tonight. For some reason the 3 & 4 ks were absolute killers but the last one i felt great.
im really hoping i can log a loss tommorrow even if its only a small one. Not quite figured out macros yet but i am aware that my sodium was through the roof today what ever that means.

I entered my weight early....busy traveling tomorrow. Am wondering why the percentage of short term goal achieved to date didn't change with an increase in weight loss. Any ideas
