Hello Team Slimsons,

Welcome Old members and new members to APRIL'S CHALLENGE!!!

My name is Gloria @gjaholy33 I will be your co-captain for this month.

I will be helping Ashley (AB0215) your Captain of The Slimsons with motivating everyone and in charge of THE (OPTIONAL)MINI CHALLENGE

We are also running an optional mini-challenge within the Slimsons team again this month.

First an introduction:

I am 39 years old and trying to lose 75lbs by my graduation for my master's degree and before my 40th birthday. I have been disable due to a work injury in 2015 and need to lose weight in order to get better as I am severely obese. Just to encourage those who are struggling with staying on track I have been trying to get healthy since 2010 and it's a constant struggle but I've learn to set short attainable goals in order to succeed. There are a lot of days which the pain is unbearable but since I am determine to lose 200lbs I know I have to Stay positive and look forward and not back at what I did yesterday.

I am currently STRUGGLING JUST TO MAINTAIN FROM DAY TO DAY on my weightloss journey. BUT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING AND MEDITATING MORE IN ORDER TO REMAIN POSITIVE WHICH TO ME IS KEY TO BEING SUCCESSFUL AT MY GOALS. ALTHOUGH I am surprised that I'm still losing weight. I am actually join www.healthywage.com and place a bet that I'll lose 199lbs in 18 months. So far I have been dropping the pounds but I jist keep my focus on one day and sometimes one meal at a time.

I always set goals for myself and this month my goal is to lose 10lbs!

So if you take anything from me as your Co-captain this month please REMEMBER YOU MAY ALWAYS START OVER AT THE NEXT MEAL! LET'S STAY POSITIVE! ESPECIALLY DO NOT GIVE UP!

Great goal and great start!! Keep it up!

Today was stressful as I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out how to fix my car. Sometimes I miss living in the city and being able to take public transit. Ugh. Anyhow, stress=eating more chocolate than I should have. I made dinner a little lighter to make the sweets fit in my calorie budget, so it worked out. And yes, the chocolate helped my stress levels lol

Track: Yes
Calories: Spot on
Exercise: 45 min Housework-sweeping/mopping/vacuuming. Also 7000 steps. (Not bad for a Sunday)

Tracking Yes
Calories Yes Under a little
Exercise Kind of half a block intentional walk besides the over 20,000 steps at work.
Water I'm hoping to get to 44 oz before I fall asleep.
I've been tired all day because I didn't get to really drink my coffee until I sat down after 4pm to roll silverware. Easter Brunch at work today was busy and made for a very early long day.
