11/21/16: 234.2 - Actual start day for the challenge, I'm pretty happy about this because we had our first of three thanksgivings this weekend, and I am still down!
11/28/16: 234.6 - Up .4 lbs, but I am not too upset about that because there were two thanksgiving dinners in the last week, and I seem to have gotten right back on the wagon!
12/5/16: 233.6 - Not as much progress as I would like to see, but I appreciate all downward movement! I plan on upping my exercise time this week to keep from plateauing. I've hit this spot before and don't want to give up!
12/12/16:234.4 - backwards progress guys I totally fell off the wagon this weekend with all of the snow, but at least it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

Went grocery shopping last weekend (a week ago) and was able to eat healthy over the last week. As such, I am down 3.6 lbs this week. This week, I am doing my official weigh in on Sunday. I am traveling for work this week, and leaving the house at 4:30 am tomorrow (thus will not have time to officially check in). My goal this week is to *maintain* my current weight (as I will be eating out 3 meals a day for 3 days), then will be Christmas meal next Sunday. I am still working toward my end of year goal of 195 lbs.

Oi! Water weight has reached maddening levels! I am clearly cutting fat (much trimmer- lost 2 inches in waist), but with my heavy workouts and muscle building focus, the scale numbers are pretty haywire.

Good reminder that weight is just a number. I did 100k steps last week. Hopefully it will begin to drop at some point!
