    4/3/19 Mini Challenge
    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: 35 minutes elliptical, lots of walking!

    Brought subway for my lunch at work tonight, and splurged on a coke and classic lays... it feels so awesome to NOT eat the whole footlong/drink/chips in one sitting, and to enjoy the second half of it after work!

    A lot of my coworkers have been mentioning my loss, and I'm amazed that people are noticing! I barely can see it, but sometimes I notice it... it feels great!

    @cmhubbard92, it is ALWAYS wonderful when people notice and comment on your weight loss!! It just reaffirms that what you are doing is working, and it puts a smile on your face for the duration of the day!!! What a fabulous NSV, along with only eating half of your sub at a time!!

    Exercise: 90 minutes bowling and some walking

    I am relieved that tomorrow is the last day I have to work before my vacation starts Tuesday! I am expecting tomorrow to be a crummy day, because that's usually how things like that go! My flight is Tuesday night, so fortunately I will be able to do my weigh in! Hopefully I see a nice change! I am trying to contain my excitement, but am having a hard time, because my last "real" vacation was nearly 10 years ago! I never did much more than a day trip since then! I will be going to the gym in the morning, to get this week started nicely!

    @cmhubbard92, I hope you enjoy your vacation immensely!! Arizona, is it?
    Thank you!!! And yes! I leave Tuesday evening, will make it to Arizona around 1AM (home time). My boyfriend gave me two Game of Thrones books to read while I fly out and whenever I have alone time. My brother has planned a hike or two in Tucson, and we will also be hiking part of the Grand Canyon. There are a few museums I would love to check out, but I know that my brother *may* be busy with schoolwork, despite having taken a few days off from work. I know I will definitely be enjoying some pool time, and some yummy meals! This will be a very active trip for me, so I am sure I will be under with all the activities we have planned!

    @cmhubbard92, I know for me, at least, I break even on the scales when I take an active holiday like the one you will be taking. You seem to be of the same mindset, so I know you will have a great time!!

    4/8/19 Mini Challenge
    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: Yes - 71min Boxing and functional

    So today I'm super chuffed with myself, it was the first morning I ended the boxing class with a jog. For the past two weeks when they ended the class with the jog I was just DONE and could not join. But today was the first time I joined in the jog. I was only able to go half way running and walked the rest of the time the fact that I actually managed to join was a good enough step for now. Give it another 4 weeks and I might be able to run the whole way.

    @nordiera, you should be super chuffed with yourself!! Feeling stronger physically and pushing yourself to that next level is proof that you are working hard!! A great NSV!! Well done!!

    @kidkees, Kathy, have you decided not to continue with us? You have missed your last two Sunday weigh-ins. If you are still with us, or if you change your mind, you need to post a weight by Saturday, April 13th.

    Round Table Weekly
    Topic: What was your moment??

    What was the pivotal moment that forced you to look at your life differently or helped you realize you needed to get healthier? Was it a series of events that beat you into submission? Was it someone else's actions or words that moved you to get in gear? Or could it have just been a book or a short article you read that made you turn your life around?
