I'm spending my evening...at the gym! I'm not a regular member of the gym currently (due to not wishing to sell a kidney to pay for it) but I'm hoping a day pass and a good 2 hour session this evening will get me kick started properly for doing more exercise at home.

Really hoping to have a good weight loss this week so will keep on trying to drink plenty, sleep plenty and stick to the right food!!

I plan to keep my calories under limit and do at least 30 minutes of walk.

Had a terrible day yesterday. I went over my calories and didn't exercise. But wallowing in it won't help me, so I'm just going to put that behind me.

As for today, my goal is to relax & enjoy myself. Yep, Halloween is one of my "no tracking & eat what I want" days. I only do that for my birthday and major holidays (Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve & Christmas). So I'm going to eat all the candy (you can send it my way if you're trying to stay away from it).

I know that it means that I'll probably have a not so great weigh in tomorrow, but what really matters is sticking to this lifestyle for the long run. And that means enjoying holidays.

My goal for October was to hit the 50 pound mark, So happy that i make it and then some. New goal to be at 60 pounds down by the end of November. Goals for today is not to give into candy. I will reach for that protein bar instead. All my kids are grown and out of the house so any left over candy from the Trick or Treaters will go to work with my husband. Have a great day everyone.

Since the weigh in is the day after Halloween, it's a little easier to steer clear of all the treats since I really want to stay on track and hit 40% of my target! Everyone stay safe and have a great Halloween.

Goals:
1. Lots of water
2. Hit my protein goal
3. Get a workout in

In my house we have been in Halloween land since last Sunday. Yes, I had candy everyday since! I didn't over do it! The small sizes really get cravings out of the way and don't break the calorie bank. It's a holiday, and just like SingRunTing said, we celebrate. I am shocked that despite my sweet tooth this week and my little gym vacation, I still managed to still loose.
Have a great day everyone!
Happy Halloween!!!!

I was able to meet all of my goals yesterday and was happy to jog the entire 2.5 miles without stopping (wasn't sure given the chest I've been battling).

Goals for Day 39

- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal
- Strength training and light cardio (walking)

Even though I'll be walking while out trick or treating tonight, I want to get a more focused walk later (one where I'm not starting and stopping). Might end up doing that tomorrow, but that's okay.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to add more core work to my strength training and actually do the core work everyday instead of 3x week as with normal strength training.

Looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow.

hey! I haven't been around much, I'm sick again! Hopefully I'm getting it all out of the way now. I haven't really been tracking my food this week, so I'm not sure what the scale is going to say tomorrow...

Happy Halloween everyone!

Candy Crush requests coming your way

NO TREATS, but slow going for me...I have been tracking diligently...speed walking 30 min./day...fitbit etc. and my weight loss is minimal. Feeling a bit frustrated, but still keeping end goal in mind. I am recovering from arm/hand surgeries-upper bod very weak. Will try to up the ante on elliptical to melt some additional cals off. Way behind in my spreadsheet % goal :-( Will also try to drink more water. Seems like everyone is hangin' in...keep up the good work at halftime mark!
