    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.

    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...

    Week 20
    Starting Weight: 226.4 lbs
    Current Weight: 195.1 lbs
    Total Weight Loss so far: 31.3 lbs

    This weeks success: Joined the Virgin Pulse Global Challenge and I am captain of my team. Having to motivate my 6 team mates to walk 10,000 steps each day for the next 100 days can only mean good things for me and my weight loss journey. I have already booked in a weekly 5Km lunch time walk for our team, and the level of competitiveness between a few of my team mates has me beating my 10K steps each day so far.

    This week's challenge: I went away for a Girl's week-end a couple of weeks back, and it is taking lots of time to get back into the swing of things. I let myself go a bit and gave myself a break from tracking. Also, Winter has arrived with a vengeance (rain, fog, freezing cold mornings) so walking each day is getting more difficult. And I really need my walks to de-stress!!

    Quote for this week: "If it doesn't open... it's not your door" .

    (fyi - I am awaiting the outcome of a job interview and I really, really, want the job)

    Starting weight: 226.4
    Goal weight: 175

    Weekly update:
    I am really beating up the work part of my brain. I have decided that I am beginning to despise my job and it's probably time to look for a new one. There is not really any place to go in my organization. I made a job change internally two years ago, have spent the last two years training my replacements (there have been two so far) and just don't feel the groove of my new position. My biggest problem is that I'm not doing anything and getting paid well for that. It just drives me crazy. I have no control and no projects at the moment that I own. No staff to train or develop. It's just not clicking. The downside is a new job will mean I will have to go back to a traffic laden commute, will lose vacation and sick time, will be out of my community most of the day and I have to go find that job. I figure if I am going to do it now is the time because I am mid 50s and it's already an age where they say hiring people eyeball you funny.
    Just venting. That's what been on my mind a lot this last month or so.

    The food life has been OK. Had some bad days where I wanted to eat all the food, but I've mostly kept it under control.

    Exercise has been better, I am even running some of those steps. I might download a C25K app soon.

    Last Week's challenges check-in
    <3 70,000+ steps for the week (Sat - Sun) I love my (new) fitbit
    <3 Keep focused on intake & control
    <3 Water focus - drink, drink, drink

    • 70,000+ steps for the week (Sat - Sun) I love my (new) fitbit
