Not going to lie, bit disappointed I didn't hit my goal. Will readjust my other goals as I don't want to be playing catch up.

STRUGGLES and SUCCESSES this week:
Still lots of ice on our walking paths, and some busy work/family days. Nevertheless, Frodo and I went out and racked up some miles - Not bad, considering our couple of extra enforced 'rest' days!
Oh! and the spouse joined us for a walk, so that was nice, too.
Had a lower weight blip for a morning, but it didn't repeat; therefore (in the interests of not setting myself up for failure or disappointment), am going to use today's scale reading for this week's result...
So, yeah: Met my January goal, and am ready to get rolling for February!3 -

Weight lost this week: 0. I expected to plateau after last weeks big drop. I’m just glad it wasn’t a gain. I’m excited to see the 130’s again but I know from experience how slow and stubborn these last few pounds are. I’ll stay consistent and get there eventually!
