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)

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.

Total Weight Loss so far: 30.9 lbs
This week’s success: I have dropped a size in jeans!! I went shopping and was surprised to find I actually fit into the next size down. Woo hoo!!
This week's challenge: I didn’t get the job, which has led to a week-end of indulgence again. The scales have gone up by a small amount (almost 1/2 pound) which has made me feel even more defeated. But here’s hoping the effort I put in this week on eating right and working out will have some results on the scale.
Quote for this week: "Progress: You might not be where you want to be, but you're not where you used to be".

Weekly update:
Not too challenging a week. We may have finally started the rainy season here in Florida, so I am going to have to reschedule my outdoor exercise activities or come to love wet shoes.
Yesterday I was at 200.0 pounds. I knew I would fluctuate from that, but I was hoping for a number starting with one today. Just wait ‘til next week!
Last Week's challenges check-in
2,000 stairs UP. Down does not count. What devil designed this challenge? Preplan 5 days of meals You would not think anyone preplanned the weird combos I eat. 3 days drink only water. not fun. no coffee 70,000+ steps for the week (Sat - Sun) Keep focused on intake & control Water focus - drink, drink, drink
This Week's life challenges
My big challenge this week is to survive another weekend and check in with a lower or stable weight on Monday. We head over to Daytona Beach for Fri& Sat nights and there will be good food, some beer, some rum, free hotel happy hour and lots of sun/heat. All of which will contribute to me swelling up like a puffer fish pulled from the water. I shall however walk my hiney off both days – providing it is not lightning. Alas, there is no exercise room.
In addition, this is the start of my work’s summer season. We go to a four-day workweek, which is nice. The tradeoff is we work 10 hours days. This makes it more challenging to eat well and to get my exercise. Therefore challenges this week:- Pre-log meals. Stay under calories, including exercise calories, for the week.
- Water Water Water
- 70,000+ steps for the week
- Keep the focus on intake & control
Hope you all have a terrific week. I am glad to see people sticking with it and checking in regularly.
