11/30 149 Under on calories and protein and over on carbs yesterday. At least 4 quarts of water. And I made my pathetic step count for the first time in a month!
12/01 148.5 Slightly under on calories but macros were right on! That doesn’t happen often!
12/02 149 Ate later than usual + salt. Met my pathetic step goal again, over calories by less than 100, macros right on.

Back for another round. I haven't ever set a number goal since I started these 10-day challenges, but to keep me in check, I am hoping reach 160 this round. Ultimate goal is to be in the 150s going into the New Year!
Now that I have just jinxed myself, let's see how this round goes! Seriously, if I can just say no to salty snacks and wine during that after-work/pre-dinner time, I might do okay.

Round 23: 161.4
11/29: 161.5 Got my workout in, dog walk, water, and stayed around 1300 cal. I was hungry, though. Had a few cookies last night. I always want a little sweet something after dinner. I boiled some eggs this morning and am going to bake chicken for dinner and leftovers. Need more protein in my diet.
11/30: 161.8 I had lunch out, take out for dinner, AND a chai tea in the afternoon. More calories than my body is used to, but I managed my portions and still dragged myself to the gym for a run. I whine all the way there, but I work out for the feeling after, which never disappoints!
12/1: 162 After such a big drop, thinking this is normal, but there has been some added work stress and processed food this week. Yesterday I had two commitments after work and could not get my exercise in. Back to it today.
12/2: 160.4 Surprised at this, but now that it's there, it's motivation for me to do well today to see what happens tomorrrow...
12/3: 159.9 Got back to exercise after two days off, and did lots of housecleaning yesterday.
12/4: 160 Feeling in control at the moment. About to head into work where challenges await this week. Up against a big deadline and trying to get people to move faster... makes me want to eat the entire loaf of lemon bread I made last night. Knowing this, I have already wrapped one of the loaves and put it in the freezer!
12/5: 160.6 No surprise here. Went out for a filling lunch with wine yesterday and ate some sweets in the evening. Ended up watching a movie with the fam instead of working out... feeling it today and getting the water in! Wanna see that 159.9 again before this round is over!
12/6: 160.4 Busy day today.
12/7: 160 Yes. Had a good workout last night. 8 -
R24
Start :: 182.6
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 :: 182.6 - Need to focus on drinking more water today and not succumbing to all the things people keep bringing into the office
11/30 :: 182.1 - Drank more water yesterday than I have been lately which felt good. Skipped my usual frou-frou coffee this morning from Starbucks and surprisingly don't feel "deprived" which is a major victory for me. Gotta keep this up!
12/01 :: No Scale - Traveling for job interview. Hoping to stay on track but I tend to make bad choices when I'm traveling...
12/02 :: Didn't Weigh - Bit of a rough morning. Ate very crappily yesterday and really feel it this morning. Let's see if I can get back on track today
12/03 :: Didn't Weigh - Could have weighed this morning but chose not to, pretty sure it was because I'm scared of what it's going to tell me... Doesn't help that we finally got a stand mixer and the husband decided he wanted to make chocolate chip cookies...
12/04 :: 184.3 - UGH... yep, pretty much what I thought. Back to work today though so the schedule should help this week... Hoping I can get closer to where I started by the end of this round.
12/05 :: 182.8 - Hopefully this is from being extra careful with my intake yesterday and going to try not to screw it up today
12/06 :: 180.6 - Totally was not expecting to see this!!! Although I know I didn’t eat quite as much yesterday this is probably just some water weight since I’ve been upping my intake, but still very nice to see!
12/07 :: 180.1 - Nice to it still going down, would be really awesome to end this round under 180!!
12/088 -
Still faking it. But I am here.
11/29 - 220.7 - Just a special thank you to those of you who have taken the time to send me a message with your encouragement, personal stories and support. I appreciate it and I will get back to each of you, I promise! I also appreciate and thank those who have sent me private mindful support with your thoughts, I have heard those words too and am so grateful! Such a wonderful group who rallies when we all need it!
11/30 - 220.9 - Bought an elliptical yesterday! Woohoo!
12/01 - 221.8 - Feeling the fire of a reboot in this last month of the 2017 season. Will be hunkering down in the next 30 days to jump start the new year with motivation and success behind me. With holidays approaching and temptation lurking, I have to make those conscious decisions and find my determination again.
12/02 - Woke up to the most pain in my right (also dominant) arm/across the top of my chest and went to emerg. They think I pulled something but otherwise x-Rays ok. In the meantime I am in constant pain.
12/03 - Recovering and trying to get stuff done. It's crazy how so many movements use a variety of muscles that criss cross around the body. Moving slllloooowww.
12/04 - 225.1 - I guess this is what happens when you become a sloth...
12/05 - 225.7 - No! I say no thank you!
12/06 - Woke up to no power - relieved I forgot to weigh in so I don't have to confirm the terrible incline I seem to be on...
12/07 - 225 - Back in the right direction!
12/087 -

R22 * Start = 143.4
R23 * Start = 142.0 * End 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0
11/29 - 140.0 - up a squidge, got ambushed by work on an already busy day yesterday: got stressed, no workout, ate 600 extra calories ABOVE MAINTENANCE at the end of the day. Working on being really sensible and sneaking in some extra calorie burning (stairs at work!) today.
11/30 - 139.4 - another tough day yesterday. No workout, to bed early, planning to get my mojo back on today.
12/1 - 138.6 - lowest in over a year! Under calories yesterday and 40 minute workout, elliptical plus stairclimber. Sweating helps my emotional state SO MUCH.
12/2 - 138.8 - under calories and ran 34 minutes yesterday. Think I am dehydrated, drink drink drink!
12/3 - 138.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 30 minutes, stairclimber. Still dehydrated, working on it.
12/4 - 138.6 - finally rehydrated - Yesterday under calories, ran FIVE MILES which is big for me now. Made the healthiest arugula pizza in the world.
12/5 - 138.4 - ate just under my .5 a week loss calories yesterday, 30 minute elliptical. Awake since 3:30AM, not sure what's up, there goes my plan to cut out my energy drink at work
Have to be careful today, no time for a serious workout in the schedule -
12/6 - 139.0 - bounce expected. Under calories yesterday, no workout, good night's sleep! I need to watch that my end-of-day treat does not become so habitual that I can't do without it. A pattern of mine. I leave room in the calories and that's good but the habit part is a red flag for me, I ate it last night even though I wasn't hungry at all.
12/7 - 138.0 - There's the drop. Yesterday ran 3.3 miles, under calories.

12/01 - 224.2--- Treatment day yesterday, which meant "big food day" to keep meds from upsetting my stomach. I was too exhausted to cook but, nobody said I had to eat Zaxby's, nibble on chips, nor eat candy all evening .
12/02 - 223.8
12/03 - Sidetracked this morning and did not weigh.
12/04 - 223.4 this morning, then I spent 3+ hours in the yard getting up LEAVES. Everyone else"s leaves blow in my yard and sit there. Jumped on the scale out of curiosity when I came in the house and saw 221.8
. We all know the deal though---refueling and hydrating will land me back at 223.4 
12/05 - 222.4---My yard had me sore and exhausted so, I wasn't very hungry yesterday at dinnertime.

This is the first time joining in on this! Better late than never and I love the idea of short goals and seeing progress!
Just a little background about me! I am 38, 5’9” and have 3 kids, love tennis (play about 3x a week) and I have about 10lbs I need to shed! For the past few years I have been about 160 and it is a comfortable weight for me. I would love to be 152lbs but that hasn’t happened since I had my 1st kid 15 years ago! In the last 2 months I have jumped up to 167lbs! It’s time to buckle down and shed this weight.. my goal is 157lbs! Wish me luck!
Current weight: 167lbs
Goal weight: 157
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 Didn’t weigh in, hadn’t joined yet but I tried to eat well all day but cheated when I ate a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips! I need to be accountable so I decided today I was going to get in some groups and find some support!
11/30 167lbs - feeling good so far, eating it on track, played two hours of tennis this morning and am motivated to finish the day with no cheating.
12/01 165lbs - 2lb loss! Probably water but I like seeing the scale move! Today was a good day, lots of tennis and I ate really well with no cheating! On a side note my car got broken into which was a bummer but only my garage door opener was taken. Scary and not a great way to start the day! Hoping to see a loss again tomorrow!
12/02 164.4lbs - yay!! Another half a pound! I’m sure it’s all water but still feels great.. I bet it’s going to be tougher from this point on.. I am going to try to stay strict tonight but we are going to the casino tonight, eating out and drinking!! Uggg!
12/03 ??? I stayed overnight at the casino so I didn’t get to weigh in. I did good yesterday but I’m sure the drinking will make me bloat. Today was a cheat day for me. I pretty much ate what I wanted. I’m not going to be happy tomorrow with my weigh in but I will be good from here on out!!
12/04 - 167.2lbs!!! Ugggg! Drinks sun and fun to blame.. Back to work and lesson learned..
12/05 165.9
12/06 166.2
12/07 165.8 Still cheating and eating too many carbs! Grrr

MFP start weight - 223
53 years old, 5'8"
I was not kind to my body during Thanksgiving week. Family visited the whole week so I really didn't work the plan. I'm back to running and lifting this week and it feels good.
Round 24 (3rd for me) Goal 169 - Goal met 12/1
Readjusted goal - 166.6
11/29 - 171.8
11/30 - 170.4 - YES! Back on track. Off to run a few miles and lift.
12/1 - 168.0 - Wow! I weighed myself twice just to be sure. I really think it's water weight. During Thanksgiving week I ate like crazy all week and my hands swelled so much that I couldn't get my rings off. And I really didn't drink water all week. I'm just glad to be back! I will be resetting my goal weight for this challenge round.
12/2 - 167.4 - Hard work pays off! Now to get through the weekend.
12/3 - 167.6 - Very pleased with today's results.
12/4 - Did not weigh
12/5 - 167.2
12/6 - 167.2 - Happy with today's weight. Need to push a little harder if I want to make my readjusted goal
12/7 - 167.6 - weighed this morning at 4:30 but forgot to post. I did treadmill, stair master and lifted weights today so I am hopeful about tomorrows weigh in.

Looking forward to joining this challenge again! I have found it very helpful in understanding and accepting my daily fluctuations as well as focusing me on making better choices. I ended the last round at 118.8 lbs and would like to see 117.9 sometime this round. My goal is to average 118.9 or better this round.
11/29: 118.2- I'm trying to preplan all my meals this week for another challenge and it is helping me stay on track. Lots of events going on in the next few weeks so I could use the help.
11/30: 119.2- I was really hungry yesterday, but I didn't eat an extra 3500 calories
12/1: 118.8- I guess my post didn't go through yesterday.

Like this number. No exercise this morning; so tired from working extra. My 2 wk. vacation was without pay since I am a part-time WAH employee. Spent more than I intended, so now I need 2 good weeks before Christmas. Will go back to exercise 3 times a week until after New Years!

I don't know how I missed logging in yesterday! I seem to remember doing it just as clearly as I am logging now; but, evidently, I did not! I've been running all day today and that's not good! For the past few days I have been very slack on my water. Vacation threw me off rhythm. But eventually, I'll get back in stride! Onward and downward!5 -

This is no surprise as I feel puffy and seem to be retaining everything. Hoping for a drop in a day or two. We're going out for lunch, but I plan to drink lots of water and stay within my calorie limits. All is well.
11/30 - 148.6
Patience, she said. Patience.
12/01 - 148.6
12/02 - 148.8
Well, I don't get it. I've been within my goals. Thinking maybe it's time for a bigger calorie day to shake things loose. OTOH, I bought some new pants in a smaller size, so there's that.
12/03 - 149
Expected - I ate about 400 extra calories yesterday and am probably retaining some water (and food!).
12/04 - 149
I have a cold and have taken Nyquil a couple of times at night. I think I'm retaining water (although it seems like it's all coming out my nose!). There's also the delay factor from Saturday's extra food. I'll just hang tight for a while. I'd like at least to finish not higher than last round!
12/05 - 148.6
OK! Maybe I can finish this round lower than the last one after all. As long as I'm headed in the right direction, it's all good.
12/06 - 148.8
I wouldn't say I'm on a binge but I am eating a cranberry scone and enjoying it.
12/07 - 149
Well, the cranberry scone morning splurge turned into a day of intentional and willful eating, not a binge and no real junk (except maybe that scone!), but a series of decisions to go ahead and eat more than I usually do. Baguette & butter with my soup (about double what I'd usually eat), a cinnamon raisin English muffin with almond butter (mmmm!), and later a whole wheat English muffin with peanutbutter (mmmmm!) - both nut butters nuts only, so healthful despite amount (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). That's fine, I haven't done this in a long time and for some reason I needed to snarf carbs & fat. Back on track today. We'll see what that stupid measuring device says in the morning.

12/02 149 Ate later than usual + salt. Met my pathetic step goal again, over calories by less than 100, macros right on.
12/03 148.5
12/04 148.5
12/05 148.5
12/06 149 Yesterday I ate half of my Greek salad with gyro meat and 1/2 of a pita. That was 1.5 oz of BREAD. Soon I felt bloated and miserable. I guess I won’t make that mistake again!
12/07 150 I think I have a cold. I went to bed just after 10 last night and was wide awake at 2:30AM! It’s gonna be a long day! I tried to post around 3AM but MFP couldn’t open the Community!?!
It wouldn't open it up when I tried to get on here either. I'm sorry you're coming down with something. I have an awful cold myself. I know it stinks. Push the fluids. It helps.3 -

Like this number. No exercise this morning; so tired from working extra. My 2 wk. vacation was without pay since I am a part-time WAH employee. Spent more than I intended, so now I need 2 good weeks before Christmas. Will go back to exercise 3 times a week until after New Years!

I don't know how I missed logging in yesterday! I seem to remember doing it just as clearly as I am logging now; but, evidently, I did not! I've been running all day today and that's not good! For the past few days I have been very slack on my water. Vacation threw me off rhythm. But eventually, I'll get back in stride! Onward and downward!
I remember logging in yesterday also, and I even found a comment I made to someone on here. However, my own post didn't show up at all.5 -
There's definitely something wrong with the app. Lots of people not able to access the community, newsfeed comments and liked not saving, etc.nikki062181 wrote: »

I just looked at my Friends list and apparently MFP has reinvented the alphabet. "C" now comes after "R."

12/01 :: 229.2 - I’m happy with this downward trend, hopefully it stays that way xD
12/02 :: 228.8 - but I ended up getting McDonald’s later in the day so I’m willing to bet it’ll be higher tomorrow xD

First time doing this, sort of doing this health thing on my own and not telling people yet so this is a nice way to share. Thanks
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29- 227.2 - non scale victory is staying within the daily calorie plan while also going to the movies with friends and not drinking a soda! Popcorn needs soda and I'm proud I just got water instead.
11/30 - 226.4 - NSV - after a few weeks of dealing with the happy/annoying fact that nothing fits anymore (it's good cause everything is too big, but nothing fitting right whether big or small sort of sucks), I went shopping for jeans. I wasn't sure if I'd lost enough cm to fit a size down, but I did! I'm officially a size 16 for the first time on 3 years and they were $16. So happy I don't have to pay $90 for jeans anymore. Great day
12/01 - 225.6 - NSV - started baking for Christmas, three different cookies so far, haven't eaten single one. Goal is to not eat any until the holiday break.
12/02 - 225.4 - NSV - exceeded my steps today by 4,000 but splurged on calories, which I'm ok with because it's only one day at my friend's wedding shower and also date night with my husband. Tomorrow's weigh in might be rough but still feeling good. Back on the wagon tomorrow.
12/03 - 227 - the scale isn't surprising, I ate twice my daily calories between cake, pizza, drinks etc., but it was expected. NSV is I had a good day, did my steps, made the right food choices and did my meal prep for the week, even though I was tired and didn't want to.
12/04 - 227.8 - NSV - another day of making my steps, making the right food choices and staying hydrated. The scale isn't surprising given Saturday, and you may laugh but I welcome the learning experience. I'm happy that I'm learning more about how my body responds to certain foods. It'll help me make more knowledge chocies regarding alcohol and treats, which is especially important going into the holiday party season. Hopefully tomorrow the scale will be better.
12/05 - 226.8 - looks like I'm adjusting back from my weekend chocies. NSV - didn't eat the lemon cake a coworker brought into work. I love cake so much lol, saving all my cake eating for the 25th. Mom's cakes so much better, worth the wait.
12/06 - 225.6 - NSV - not going through the drive thru after running errands after work like I would have done in the past. Went home and made a sandwich instead. It's harder to make the right choices when you're worn tired so I'm proud of that.
12/07 - 226 - NSV - did more Christmas baking today, didn't eat any of it.

Starting at the same place as I did last round. I really want to get to 159. I did everything I was supposed to do today.
11/30: 160
Stayed within calories but too much cheese today. TOM maybe tomorrow.
12/01: 162.0
12/02: 162.0
Off track, need to get back in the swing of things.
12/03: 160, 161.5, or 162, the scale couldn't decide today. Did well on food until 5pm, then it all went sideways. Once again, I'm resolving to do better tomorrow.
12/04: 161.5
Did better on food today than I have the last several days. No added sugar. TOM a few days late, part of the wonderful world of perimenopause, I guess.
12/05: 160
12/06: 161
Banana bread is apparently impossible for me to resist these days.
12/07: 161
Holiday party at work with a potluck, I ate without restraint. I keep saying it, but I've really got to get back on track. Still waiting for TOM, very unusual to be late.

11/28. 208. I’m excited!
11/29 207.6. Yesss! Can’t wait to see if this accountability works for me
11/30. 207.6. I had a BAD day yesterday and this morning. No matter how much I ate I was starving and craving sweets. Came to realize today when my sugar went low that I had not had a hot meal in days
12/1 207.2
12/2 207.2 I ate out today but stayed within my calories
12/3. 206.8 I’m in my goal weight for this round!!! Let’s see how much more I could do with my remaining day! Spent my day working in the yard
12/4 206.8 No change from yesterday but I’ve been a little whack on my diet. Haven’t cheated nor passed my calories but just haven’t been as organized. Also TOM
12/5 207 ughhhh but it’s ok it’s that time TOM so it’s not bad. I’m sure it will come right down again. Hmmm... I did eat late last night but I don’t think that would do it. I’m sticking to TOM
12/6 206.6 Yay!!! Back to normal
12/7 205.6 YAY!!! Exceeded my goal for this round. Spent hours building a roof for the patio in the hot sun so hopefully this is not a temp water loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 153.6, I barely did this challenge last round. I’ve had company the last 10 days and I’m all out of my routines. But I’m still in it. Every day is a fresh start.
11/30 - 152.6 right direction
12/01 - 151.6 now to keep it here....
12/02
12/03
12/04
12/05 - 153 - I feel like I (mind) am in a battle with my body....
12/06 - 152.4, feeling good
12/07 - 152.6 .... sigh
12/08 - 152.6 - I don’t know, but I’m thinking all those 151s where not real, maybe just water. Anyway, down 1lb. This round.7 -
Goals:
1. Intermittent fasting 16:8
2. Light lunch Monday-Friday
3. Calories average 1400 across prior 10 days
4. 2 litres of water daily
SW: 90kg
GW: 57-59kg
R23EW: 63.9kg
R24GW: 62.9kg (Which was also my goal for last round)
11/29 - 63.9kg - I feel like I have dodged a bullet last round. Looking forward to being back on track for Round 24!
11/30 - 63.5kg - Woop woop! Going to focus today on meeting my water goal and will do a nice yoga session when I get in from work On another note, I finally feel like my vitamin D and iron supplements are working! Yay!
12/01 - 63.3kg - Kept my sugary treats down to 2 pieces of dark chocolate, had a delicious veggie-ful dinner and did half an hour of yoga. Feeling very saintly. Super exciting milestone coming up as well, which is keeping me motivated. Hope to share it with you all soon!
12/02 - 63.2kg - Creeping slowly down. Instead of getting frustrated I'm going to focus on the fact that I have lost weight on a Saturday, which is basically the unicorn of weight loss for me hahaha. Going to have an alcohol-free weekend and get lots of water in. I want to see a whoosh!
12/03 - 63.8kg - Well the plan was slightly derailed by delicious mulled wine but I'm happy to see my weekend high weight staying under 64kg. My mini-goal is still within reach!
12/04 - 64.8kg Hahaha see my comment on yesterday's weight. You have to laugh or you'll cry. I am blaming last night's three course meal at my mother-in-laws house!
12/05 - 64.1kg - Trying not to get discouraged by looking at on my average weight this round, which are my lowest yet. Yoga last night, light lunch and dinner planned today. Focusing on hitting that water goal too.
12/06 - 63.4kg - And I'm back in the game! That's what I have been working towards. I am taking a new approach to reporting for this challenge and was going to start next round but there's no time like the present. I am going to be focusing on more measurable goals and see how that goes. I've been aiming for these anyway but want to a bit more accountability. Goals (see above): 2/4
12/07 - 63.2kg - Don't think I will make my mini-goal but you never know! Goals: 3/4
12/08 - 62.6kg - Yay! A hard-won whoosh, so I am very happy. Goals: 3/4

28/11 - 192.4 - R23 was an amazing round, I ate much higher and lost 1 1/2 lbs by average and 2 lbs using my start weight .. hopefully I see any loss this 10 daysCALS IN 1586 ~~ EXERCISE cleaning and a 1 hour walk around Ikea
29/11 - 193 - TOM has arrivedCALS IN 1929 ~~ EXERCISE Cleaning and strength 27 mins flex 20 mins
30/11 - 192.6 - My anti- inflammatory pills have run out and I am back in pain again, next docs appointment is on the 5th ... oh great!!CALS IN 1268 ~~ EXERCISE 40 min slow walk ~ 15 min gently cardio and ~13 mins abs (before the pain started)
01/12 - 192 <<<<<<<<<<< new low - I'm in a lot of pain again since my anti inflammatory pills an out, docs on Tuesday, although I managed over 1 hour of walking I hardly covered any distance, over on cals but I can pull that back over the next 2 daysCALS IN 2243 ~~ EXERCISE 65 min walk 5 min cardio 1 min strength
02/12 - 193 - In a lot of pain for most of today so I could only move at a snails pace walking on the spot and cleaningCALS IN 1575 ~~ EXERCISE cleaning
03/12 - 192 still in pain .. done some exercise and was under calories for the day and also brought my weeks avg back to under cals also
04/12 - 192 -- happy to see these numbers appearing regularly now - low cals today (around 1200) went to bed early due to my pain killers making me tired
05/12 - 191.6 - <<<< NEW LOW - docs appointment today - fingers crossed for an answer
06/12 - 192.4 - Docs appointment was a waste of time, hes told me I don't need a scan because the pills partially lifted my pain (while I was on them) ... what he didn't take into account is quality of life ... even thou I was in less pain .. I was also not moving very much and when I was moving I was moving slower ( so onto experiment 2 - push my body harder this time and tell him exactly where my limits are) .. some examples of where I am limited, I am only mid forties I shouldn't have any of these issues
I can't walk as fast (i'm at 1/4 speed at the moment)
I can't cycle any longer than 5 mins at a time .. I need to break up exercise into small bursts ..
I can't climb on my work surfaces to clean the upper cupboards, I need to ask for help from family members for that.
I can't bend to get things from lower cupboards .. I need to get all the way onto the floor for that.
I am constantly limping
All of this makes losing weight VERY difficult, because although I put in the time and energy my burns are so much lower that everyone else due to my speed and movement ... yet the doc thinks I can live on the pills and don't need a scan!!
07/12 - 192.2 - still in a foul mood .. still in pain ugg!
08/12 - 192

11/29 191.4
11/30 191.4
12/01 190.0 Really pleased, but my weight can fluctuate a fair bit daily. Going to work on reducing the swings.
12/02 194.4 An unexpected jump. Ate out last night but went with a healthy option, no fries, etc. Will try to have an active day with a calorie deficit
12/03 192.8. At least the right direction. 1/2 hour running yesterday and hopefully another active day today.
12/04 191.4. I’m thinking Friday nights meal was more laced with sodium than I expected. Happy to be back at my start weight and hope to get down a bit in the next few days.
12/05 190.4. I’ve been eating right and exercising the last few days and would be happy to stay at this weight for the rest of the week
12/06. 189.8. Wow. This is the only the second time I’ve seen the 180s this year, so that’s the second in probably 30 years. Really pleased, but social event tonight, and main goal for this round is still day 10 < day 1.
12/07 189.4 I was careful to stay away from unhealthy choices at the social last night and looks like it paid off.
12/08. 190.6. I’ve enjoyed my first challenge here. I look forward to the daily check in and seeing how everyone else is doing. It would have been nice if my weight had stayed where it was the last couple of days instead of the unexpected climb today but I’m happy with the end result since it’s moving in the right direction. Looking forward to the next round.
