    I've been to the Elephant Penis board today (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/660835/ive-lost-an-elephant-penis/p1) and learned I've lost an average housecat and an ostrich egg so far this year.

    I can tell you I haven't lost my housecat yet. He needs his own MFP account.

    Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
    Goal weight: 155 lbs
    Current weight: 199.7 lbs
    Total Weight Loss so far: 26.7 lbs

    This week's success: My ankle was still sore this week, so I couldn't exercise. This meant that I had to look closely at what I was eating to stay within my calorie goal. I ended up making a few changes, and upped my water intake. Lots of positive changes have come about from my injury. It could almost be a blessing in disguise ;)

    This week's challenge: It was such a stressful time at work, and because I couldn't exercise, I found it hard to keep myself centered and calm. I really need to introduce meditation back into my daily routine.

    4/8/17: 191.8
    4/15/17: 193.8

    Total weight lost: 13.0

    Sigh - trying to be patient with the process. I know I did everything right this week so trying to focus on the total lost so far, rather than the crappy number on the scale this week.

    This week's successes: resisted temptation with social events, stayed within my calorie goal, logged everything........

    This week's challenges: on vacation this week, so it will be interesting to see how a different schedule affects eating patterns, etc.

    Week 15

    Starting weight: 226.4
    Goal weight: 175
    Last week weight: 211.2
    This week weight: 210.3
    This week loss: .9
    Total weight loss: 16.10

    This week's successes rant:

    I am still on track. Week 15 and 16.10 down, but I also bounced up and down this week. I'm a daily weigher and the slight moves do not make me crazy. Actually any move upwards makes me focus a little more so it is good to know, if it has to happen.

    I can feel the water retention today in my face, my fingers and my feets. This weekend involved things that contain lots of sodium and there was not enough drinking of water. Chips, Velveeta (in a yummy queso dip,) deli meats, the traditional Easter ham to name a few. But I had lots of good habits. I had only one cocktail at the Saturday poker game and one glass of wine with Sunday dinner. For my husbands birthday I split a piece of cake with my daughter. I had a small serving of ham and ate mostly veggies on my plate.

    Then the clean up started. I had to pick the ham apart and put it away. How did that happen - those pieces of sweet-n-salty delicious ham in my mouth? It seems I had to taste each snackie food before I put it away - you know to make sure it was still good. And the cake. Well I have a story about the cake but it is going to have to wait until I am at home later and can post a picture. Let me just say that I have debunked a life hack floating around on the internet.

    Checking on last week’s challenges:
    :( Tuesday to Friday get to work by 8:30. Let's try baby steps. (Monday is already a failure.) Well, I did better this week, but I sure did not get to work by 0830 each day. So not a success.
    :) Keep making a point to log water. Yay! Even on my bad days. Helps me remember to drink.
    <3 Do two fitness blender routines. Level not important. I did three! Lots of squats involved and I am really feeling that.
    :/ Walk the 2 mile street at least twice. I got one long walk/jog in. I got my nightly half mile in, but I put off the second two miler until Sunday and then Easter and the birthday got in the way.

    How shall I challenge myself this week.
    I am going to keep the same challenges. I think it takes 30 days to make a habit?
    • Tuesday to Friday get to work by 8:30. Let's try baby steps. (Monday is already a failure.)
    • Keep making a point to log water.
    • Do two fitness blender routines. Level not important.
    • Walk the 2 mile street at least twice.

    It's starting to get hot. We will see the upper 80s this week, hitting 90 one day. The 6 months of summer is almost back. My wish for you this week is good weather.
