    Starting weight 1/6/18: 221.1
    Goal weight:175
    Total weight lost: 0.2 lbs.


    1/6--221.1
    1/13--221.3
    1/20--220.2
    1/27--220.9
    1/31--218.9 (early weigh in...going out of town for the next 3 days and won't have access to scale)

    2/10/18--220.2
    2/17/18--220.9
    2/24/18--220.9

    Weight loss is such a mental game. It's hard to stay focussed when you are doing what you are supposed to do but the scale doesn't reflect all the work you've put in even though you know that the scale lies. :/

    Previous week's successes: Finished W8D1 and W8D2 of C25k.
    Previous week's challenges: Getting my water in.

    This week's successes: Finally got off antibiotics! My weight trend is 257, however my actual weight today was 254.4 so I'm really happy! I've also been sleeping a lot better and work stress has been minimized.

    This week's challenges: Had to get some more tooth work done, so I went over my calories a couple days eating softer stuff (I never knew that stuffing had so many calories! haha). I also did not feel like working out yesterday at all because of the dental visit, but I'm feeling much better today so hopefully I can stick to my plan over the next couple weeks before I go back to the dentist.

    Finished the icey trail 10k with my husband :) !
    It was fun & I didn't fall! Quite the adventure for a girl from south Texas.
    One part of the trail was litterally one person lane right next to a bunch of uber cold water. One runner took the plunge; took it in stride & kept running.
    My motivation is about being able to participate in events and races like this one. To be fit; not held back from the adventures of life.

    Week 8: 203.0
    WL this week: -3.2
    2018 WL: 6.0/52#

    Successes:. I'm still tracking everything and staying within my points. Finally got a big loss I've been waiting for! I was getting tired of all the bouncing I've been doing.

    Challenges: A new normal. DD and her 2 littles moved out last weekend. Made me sad, and relieved, lonely, and relaxed. Despite the crazy rollaer coaster, I kept tracking and didn't let being 7 WPs in the red by Sat (the official start if my week is Thurs) derail me. I made use of the new rollover option and finished my week with 5 weekly points left! Continuing to just put one foot in front of the other!

    @lilysillycat - I had pretty bad insomnia last year and the year before. Listening to sleep meditation on youtube helped tremendously. I highly recommend it. Now I'm back to falling asleep and staying asleep on my own :smile:
    Good luck! Insomnia is tough.
