    Well, I had a regain mid-Feb so I need to update and rethink a little. I started originally at 188 and was closing in on my PS goal when the regain happened so I am just starting back at needing to lose the 7 lbs... Figured so early in it's best to just restart. I yoyo'ed on weight in Feb, literally stress really got me last month. Life really hit hard in Feb so everything got turned upside-down on me.

    Philosopher's Stone has 223 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 7:
    [ ] Lose 7 lbs.... I was almost at this goal and had that regain so I have been working on getting it back down. I'd be down 3 as of yesterday, so I'm hoping to hit this goal before the 18th of March. PS Goal weight 189

    Chamber of Secrets has 251 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 8.
    [ ] Lose 8lbs from the completion of the PS challenge. - CoS Goal weight 181

    Prisoner of Azkaban has 317 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 11.
    [ ] Lose 11lbs from the completion of the CoS challenge. - PoA Goal weight 170

    Goblet of Fire has 636 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 15.
    [ ] Lose 15lbs from the completion of the PoA challenge. - GoF Goal weight - 155

    Order of the Phoenix has 766 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 19.
    [ ] Lose 19lbs from the completion of the GoF challenge. -OOTP Goal weight - 136 (this is in my goal range!)

    Half-Blood Prince has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.
    [ ] Lose 13lbs from the completion of the OotP challenge. HBP Completion = 123

    Deathly Hallows also has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.
    [ ] Lose 13lbs from the completion of the HBP challenge. DH Completion - 110

    Ideally for my height and build somewhere between DH and OOTP is where I am aiming to be. 110 is a weight that I previously know I was too thin at but was just running so depending on composition it could be okay. 136 is something I think may be higher than I want to be but depending on how I feel I could be fine there. 123 is a good middle ground so I guess we'll see as I get back with progress.

    Setbacks happen, but I can get back on track and stay there. Off to a good start this week maintaining meals and portions and I know that's a big key to success. I'd like to add in working out on a system because it's just too sporadic for me. Getting things back in place and with some luck it will just settle back down and find a groove. It won't be easy but I know being happier in my skin is a reward that's almost impossible to parallel with anything else. I hate being uncomfortable and I just want to be healthier and happier again.

    I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

    giphy.gif

    I have a lot of weight to lose, so I'll throw in Cursed Child in the end. Which I preordered and waited in line for, but still haven't finished because the play style fanfiction writing makes me sad and mad....but anyways.

    I will be listening on audiobook, because I sadly haven't much time for actual real page reading these days. :)

    I drive my kids to and from school and we listen to hp in audible both ways. We're on PoA thus far.
