    Well, at least you can attribute the small gain to something that is easy to remedy. So, get moving, and start chugging and that gain will be gone in no time!!!

    Mini challenge June 19
    Tracking{ Yes
    Calories: Yes But only because the Zoodles (instead of spaghetti noodles) balanced out the Blizzard.
    Exercise: No Brandy had surgery (spay and hernia repair) and I was a basket case. Paced a lot but the fit bit only registered 2665 steps.

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes Can't walk outside with the puppy for a week after her surgery, it is 95 outside (usually it is low 70's) so I did the stairs at home X 10 min and bodyweight exercises X 20 min.

    I think my fit bit is having problems. It has only recorded 2000 steps today and I know I have walked more than that. I think it is time to change the battery and see if that makes a difference.

    Today was a great day- I needed to buy a new dress because I am speaking at the 5th grade graduation tomorrow night. I went into three different stores, grabbed dresses off the rack, and tried them all on until I found the perfect dress. This might not sound like a big deal, but for someone who has been overweight her whole life, being able to walk into a "normal" store and find things that fit, it's a huge deal. For the first time in my life I enjoyed going clothes shopping!

    Like you said, at least you are eating well!! You don't NEED exercise to lose weight, if you are eating at a deficit, but we all know it is good for us, and we feel better when we do it!! Just try again tomorrow!!

    I hope that Brandy is feeling better today, and is on the road to recovery! Great job on getting your exercise in, and not using "the heat" or "your dog's recent surgery" as an excuse not to do any!! Good luck with your Fitbit. Try Google and see what others have done in your situation if the battery charge doesn't do the trick.

    What a fantastic NSV!! The only stores I don't go in are the ones geared for the younger crowd! I can't imagine not walking into a store because nothing in it would fit! So yes, it is a huge deal!!! Glad you could finally say you enjoyed clothes shopping!!! If you are so inclined, we would love to see a picture of you in your new dress!!

    Weigh in day - Thursday
    Previous- 251.0
    Current- 250.8

    A small loss but still a loss. I kinda had a feeling i wouldn’t get two back to back big numbers. Getting healthier is a long term process, and I have learned I can’t expect huge numbers on the scale every week.
    I also didn’t do a great job with water this week, and considering we had a little heat wave for a few days that was probably extra taxing.

    It’s great seeing the scale going in the right direction. It not so much about the scale it’s how I feel after a great workout that counts :)
