Well, we didn't have eight in the Winner's Circle, like we did in week #3, but we did have four. Three returnees, @heaz10, @mikea2g and @murdog3t were joined by first timer (I think) @swauters! Congratulations to all four for a fantastic week!! Of note, the three returnees, Heather, Mike and Tami, were accountable for ALL SEVEN DAYS!!! Well done!!

Lisa, yes. First and probably only time I will be in the winner circle. I should make that my February non scale goal.

Tracked yes
Calories no
Exercise yes

The NSV though: although I ate over calories yesterday, it wasn't junk food...sort of. I had dinner with the in laws and had no choice in what (since they ordered pizza and garlic bread) stuck to one pizza and a small piece of garlic bread... I didn't want it but they had paid for it and I didn't want to be rude. It pretty much killed my calories for the day and my hubby knows I hate eating out... I mean why destroy all your calories in one meal just to end up hungry a couple hours later, when you can eat all throughout the day healthy foods along with fruits/veggies and feel full. Well a couple of hours later, ended up hungry again..my NSV is I decided to munch on veggies and fruit. In the past, I had an all or nothing mentality, if I destroyed my day, why not just eat whatever I want for the rest of it...but this time I didn't...even if I was craving cookies and chocolate.

Sunday no
Monday yes
Tuesday yes
Wednesday yes
Thursday yes
Friday no

I am aiming for February to be better eating wise. It's what's stopping me from loosing more weight

Is there a new thread for February? I hit a major slump in mid January, and had to really fight to get going again. I'm ready to get back to it, though!

I worked out every day but Wednesday this week, as well as counted calories AND stayed under. I've managed to keep the scale moving down.
Last weigh in: 178
CW: 176.8

I think the FITbit challenges are helping to keep me motivated!

Had our septic tank pumped to buy us a few weeks until the drain field can be replaced. This means we get to move back home today! Yay! Lots of packing and unpacking. Still have to do laundry and showers at the in-laws but so nice to be home.
