Weekly update:
Last week I said, “Ah well, I will have a fantastic loss to post next Monday.” There it is: 4.5 I had a salt filled weigh in last week. This week I watched what I ate closely, consumed at least 64 ounces of liquid a day and exercised every day. Now I remain on track for the year. Yay me!
Last Week's challenges check-in
70,000+ steps for the week (Sat - Sun) right now I have 63,264 of 70,000. I think I will make this. Get the momentum back. Weight must be less that 205 next weigh in Water focus - drink, drink, drink
Next week’s challenges
I am checking in a couple of days early as today I head over to Daytona Beach for a long weekend. While that is certainly not a challenge, behaving myself is. So I will keep the same basic goals list.- 70,000+ steps for the week (Sat - Sun) right now I have 63,264 of 70,000. I think I will make this.
- Keep focused on intake & control
- Water focus - drink, drink, drink
- Fully close three items off work to-do list

This week's successes: I kept my vacation gain under the four pound goal I had set for myself.

It was nice to have a break, but I am happy to be back in my MFP regime.
Challenges: Starting a new strengthening program for beginners.

Height: 6'0"
Starting weight:206 (Feb 11th)
Goal weight:170 (but then add 15-20 lbs of muscle over time)
Current weight:178
Total weight lost:28 lbs.
This week's successes: started to really push myself to practice routine exercises. I've been doing a 10-20 minute set of various calisthenics and weight exercises whenever I feel like it. I pay attention to how I feel, and when it seems like I've got low resistance to exercising, I'll jump on it and take advantage of the moment. The cool thing is, the more I do it, the more open I am to doing it. I've been doing 2-3 every day, and sometimes 4. I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere and I'll maybe be able to keep it as a lifestyle habit.
This week's challenges: posting every week seems like a challenge lol. Other than that, it feels like working out is tapping some emotional response, and sometimes feels very personal and emotionally trying. I was not exercising while I started going through an emotionally hard time because it felt like a sports injury of the heart, and once I powered through, it was like my body had been keeping a portion of those emotions locked in my muscles (gertchef would be proud) and worked its way out as I worked harder. It's intense, but overall feels so much better afterwards. Quite a challenge.
So, my iron filled pvc pipe is working like a dream. It is my constant prop for most of my exercises now. I completed my dip station by making two ropes with pvc handles off my pull up bar. I can't actually do any yet, but as I practice, I keep getting closer! It's a rough time full of ups and downs, but it feels amazing as the week's and months go by.2 -
Starting Weight (04/25/17): 219.4 lbs
First Goal Weight: 198 lbs
Final Goal Weight: 130 lbs
Week 1 -- 05/01/17: 215.6 (-3.8 week/-3.8 total)
Week 2 -- 05/08/17: 209.0 (-6.6 week/-10.4 total)
Week 3 -- 05/15/17: 207.0 (-2.0 week/-12.4 total)

Week 4 -- 05/29/17: 202.2 (-0.2 week/-17.2 total)
Successes: Hiked up Hanging Rock mountain without much trouble.
Challenges: My scale has been out of whack all week with really crazy readings, so not sure just how accurate my weight is right now. It has been fine until now so I took the weight that was the closest to my last weight. It has giving me a reading of gaining up to 7lbs!!! I changed the battery and it's still doing it so not sure what's wrong with it (and I've only had it since Feb.). Guess I'll have to invest in another new one. So my weight may change with this new scale. That really sucks.
On to week 6 with a lot of hesitation...2
