OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
Hi. My name is Trina. I started this challenge round 54, was pretty consistent, and then got lost somewhere mid Round 74. The scale slowed down a bit, but now I think I am on the move again. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

MINI GOALS
1/31 149 -- (149 first time on 1/30...but bouncing
Goal Met 2/3! )
2/28 145 -- Healthy BMI...I believe. But some of the calculators say 140 or 143 Goal Met 3/4! )
3/15 141.5 (0.5 lbs below my weight watchers lifetime member weight, pretty much haven't weighed this, since I achieved lifetime status 11 years ago!)
3/31 141 Goal Met 4/1!

RGW < 135
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 135 -- Continuing the bouncing. Today in a good way! Diagnosed with shingles yesterday. Luckily they are receding, and not affecting my energy levels. But still irritating!
06/13 134.5 -- New low! I've been really good with water, exercise, and keeping the carbs good!
06/14 134.5 Wow! That number stuck around for another day! 5 mile walk yesterday and hour of zumba. Ate well!
06/15 135.5 Pretty happy with this. We went out for Chinese food last night. I skipped the rice, but not surprised that the sodium or whatever would make it bump up.
06/16 134.5 Yes. Yesterday's bump up is gone! Did zumba, and gardening yesterday. Ate well!

@MarisaMSimon - " ... I read online to run slow! I’ve been running too fast that I can’t seem to run long enough ..."
You can try a run/walk variation to slowly build up to a longer distance. I've always needed to run/walk since anything over a mile is challenging for me. Before my surgery this year - being older and over weight I was able to run/walk 1 mile in 8:20. I've never been able to teach myself to run slower to go further. I'm an old ex-sprinter and my mind and body prefer short, quick paces. So try a run/walk variation and see if you can keep your speed and increase your distance. Happy Running!!6 -
OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7
Goals for next 10 days:
1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day)
2) do not want to see anything higher than 148.9 on the scale in this round
3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was 3 weeks ago and it was 146.5)
06/12 - 147.7 down another pound from yesterday, but still a little high. TOM is still killing me and I am still bloated. Better than yesterday, but I still feel terrible. My motivation is just not where it needs to be to start this round, but I am trying to push through it and keep going. Hopefully by tomorrow I should be back to normal weight and done with the bloating, cramping, aching feeling. If I can just resist for another day or 2 not to eat fried stuff I will be doing good. That's all I have been craving the last 3 days is anything fried, lol. On track today so far with water/food and I have already done just over 3,000 steps. So hopefully I can get some more in this afternoon.
06/13 - 146.7 still working my way back down. Hopefully tomorrow I will see a new low and drop all the weight I have been holding onto for the last couple of weeks. I have looked back in my notes and noticed that I have 2 really good months of losing after my TOM hits and then I stall or lose very slowly anywhere from 4-8 weeks until it comes again. Because of the birth control that I am on I only have a period once every 3-4 months. It gets frustrating during that last part, but I am not willing to change my birth control or get off of it, so I will just have to live with it. When I had more to lose it wasn't so obvious or drastic. I already have 5 children ages 20 years old to 10 years old. So I will stay on my birth control and deal with the consequences. May take me a year to lose the last 10 pounds before I see 138, but I won't have a baby to deal with, lol!
06/14 - 146.1 Went out to dinner last night and took half of my plate home and did not touch the sopapillas. I never do that normally, so win, win! I did have 2 margaritas, but had a ton of water in between and after. It was a nice impromptu date night with the hubby! Hoping to see a 145.xxx on that scale tomorrow morning. My next milestone on my happy scale is 146.0, so close but not quite there yet, and my personal mini-goal is 145.5. Maybe I can hit both tomorrow! Happy with today though!
06/15 - 146.7 had a slight bump up, but had a piece of pizza and ate the top of another piece. Then I filled up on salad, so not a terrible night, but I could have been better. Going to a comedy show with the hubby tonight, so going to try and keep it to a minimum with my alcohol intake and keep my calories down during the day to save up for dinner tonight.
06/16 - 147.7 up a bit, but I’m ok with that. Had a couple of drinks and dinner out last night before the comedy show. We had a blast and it was a great start to my hubbys fathers day weekend!

I am scared of what the scale will look like tomorrow. I took my Daddy, husband, and brother out today. I had Arroz con Frijoles and boy!!!! The cook put tons of salt on it! I only ate half the chicken. There is no way I will not gain due to sodium intake. I also treated myself to an ice cream at our local ice cream joint. My husband wanted that, but I only ate half of what I ordered. I was conscientious of my choices.8

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 – 142.5 – Nice way to start the round!
06/13 – 141 – I haven’t seen this number for a couple months.
06/14 – 141 – It has been several months since I took my measurements, so I took them yesterday. I’m within a couple pounds of my weight last time I took them so I wasn’t expecting any real losses. I was surprised to see that I’m down a half inch on my waist and thighs, a quarter inch on my hips, and (of course) an inch on my bust. I don’t really do much exercising, other than to get at least 5000 steps a day and following @deepwoodslady lead, I’ve been dancing while doing work around the house. When I was in weight loss mode, the measurements are what kept me going when the scale wasn’t moving, but I am surprised to see how my body continues to re-composition itself while I’m eating at maintenance.
06/15 – 141.5 – It’s the weekend. A little extra salt and not enough water last night. I’ve also eaten over maintenance today with the grandson staying with us, so I’ll have to be extra mindful tomorrow.
06/16 – 142.5 – I was expecting this. Ate a little lighter today but it will still probably take a few days to get rid of the sodium.

@jlbtnc How old are your grandchildren? I'm always be more active when the grandkids are with me. Their mom doesn't like to cook, so they enjoy having real meals prepared. Why does meeting your goals seem harder when they're with you? Praying you and the kids have a great summer and lots of fun, healthy activities.06/14 – 196.6 Very, very bloated and have not been drinking enough water. So hard when I have the 2 grandkids for the sumer.
@FarmerCarla Ages 7 and 9, being active isn't the problem (weather permitting). The 7 year old can be so draining, he has serious behavioral issues which can cause problems with some activities. He also has a TSS worker everyday for 2 or 3 hours (usually here for 9:30 or 10am and then a behaviorist about once a week). It is great to have my grandkids, love the summer with them, but hard to do anything else or what I want to be active.
@jlbtnc In that case, I'll be praying for you and the children! As a former Special Ed teacher, I now better understand your challenge. God bless you all!5 -

06/12 - 135.8 (-1.8lbs) - starting to get back down to normal. I think I was dealing with bloat from dietary changes but I have changed it back and will slowly add more fiber if needed. As for workouts I’m feeling sore. Yesterday and the day before were both really good strength workouts so I’m feeling it now. Got in 15 glasses of water. Did 35min cardio at about 75% effort. Feeling good. Hopefully I can break through 135 this round. 💪🏻 Just goes to show how the scale can be so misleading. Staying the course sometimes is all that is needed.
06/13 - 137.6 (+1.8lbs) - expected a jump I ate a lot of salt last night and ate late. On top of that I’m sore and a bit bloated. Good workouts yesterday, 1hr strength and 35 cardio at 74% intensity. 17 glasses of water.
06/14 - 136.9 (-0.7lbs) - DOMS! Super sore today! Might even take a rest day 😓 maybe not will see. 14 glasses of water. 1hr strength and 40m cardio at 76% effort.
06/15 - 135.9 (-1lb) - still a bit bloated but less sore. 30min strength, 30min cardio. 15 glasses water.
06/16 - 136.8 (+0.9lbs) - still bloated but not sore. Did 1hr strength no cardio. 14 glasses water.

GW: 160 lb (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 180.4 lb I tracked 14,096 steps, had 40 oz of water, and burned 300 calories on the elliptical at the gym. I baked some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies last night and froze half of the batch so there wouldn't be as many cookies lingering around the kitchen. My fiance had three, which means he really liked them. He's a quiet guy and can be unenthusiastic about food, so when he goes back for seconds, that's when I know he's liked whatever I've prepared. I'm planning on working out at home this afternoon and I'll either be playing pub trivia with my family or watching the Stanley Cup Final if they choose to cancel trivia night.
06/13 179.2 lb 11,101 steps were tracked, I had 40 oz of water, and did a workout at home. It's nice to see a drop after five days of being the same weight. I don't think the weather will allow me to give the dog a substantial walk, but I'll be going to the gym after work today. I'm cooking taco empanadas for dinner and I picked up a new board game called Azul that I'm hoping to try out tonight with the fiance.
06/14 180.4 lb I lost my Fitbit! I hopeful it's sitting in the couch or stuck in my bed, but when I went to check my steps this morning, I noticed my wristband was empty! I know I at least got 10,000 steps because it did its buzzy dance to alert me yesterday. Oh well. I burned 300 calories at the gym, drank 42 oz of water, and limited myself to one drink during our board game. I'll be working out at home this evening and I'm pretty sure we're ordering in pizza for dinner. I'm anticipating a gain this weekend with my TOM on the horizon and Father's Day this Sunday, so I'll keep on top of my water consumption and make sure the dog is getting long walks to help ease the damage.
06/15 184.0 lb I found my Fitbit! It was under a cushion on my couch. Today's weigh-in is a result of drinks at the bar with colleagues after an irritating staff meeting followed by pizza and buffalo wings for dinner. I think I'll be taking my dog to the dog park today and maybe do some yardwork. The weather's too nice to be stuck inside all day!
06/16 DNW Crazy drama-filled day caused by my brother. I'm considering it a day of maintenance and I'm moving forward tomorrow.

06/12 68.6kg and a 15 mins run before the sun came up.
06/13 68.6kg which is not a gain. Keeping under calories so just being patient.
06/14 68.8kg blip up for no reason as its all still good. Ill be patient. Early morning starlit run completed.
06/15 68.6kg and it's all still the same.
06/16 68.6kg still. Nothing changed. Going to keep a closer eye on food.
06/17 68.7kg? Did a cold moonlit run at 5am which left me wondering why I cut my hair so short in the middle of winter...

ROUND 80 (Round 22 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle, endurance, and jogging distance (while not damaging my knees).
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last three rounds with a high weight of 135. I’ve grown accustomed to the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135, which is almost daily. I’m in my third week of a strength training program. I already feel stronger. The loose skin may be irreversible, and, if so, I’ll try to be content with being strong and feeling good.
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 134.8 I’m almost finished with the first 30 days of my strength training program (it’s taking me 32 days), and my strength and endurance are both improving. Thank you, Lord, for the ability to bounce back!
06/13 134.6 Today was a rest day from my strength training, so I rested—played cards with friends, then mowed the back yard. I mowed the front yard last night. The A/C was out for a couple of days, but my handy husband fixed it this afternoon! Hooray! Praise God, the last couple of days were unseasonably cool, so, with the windows open, our nights were comfortable. The weather is starting to heat up again, so my DH fixed the A/C just in time.
06/14 135.2
06/15 134.4 Yesterday, I had a good walk/jog with Thor, but I don’t remember much else about the day. I stayed busy until it was too late and I was too tired to post. Today was another busy day, and it’s after midnight, so officially tomorrow (?), but late nights are the norm at my house. I helped clean the community center this morning and, in the afternoon, my husband and I labeled brandy bottles for neighbors (an Austrian woman and her Texan husband) who opened a distillery near us. It was interesting and fun! We met some nice folks, had a couple of “motivation shots,” and we sampled a couple of products, but we drink sparingly. We bought two bottles, and we’ll wait for a special occasion with family or friends to bring them out.
06/16 133.4 I went to church this morning, but I haven’t been active today. I measured myself and was pleased with the inches that have come off from my strength training. I got in cardio and stretching workouts yesterday, and decided to wait until tomorrow to start the next phase of my strength training. Two days each week are “rest days” and I prefer they be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Starting on Monday will only give me Tuesday off, but I’ll manage. A long weekend trip next weekend will throw me off, but it won’t stop me. I’m determined to, again, be lean and fit.

Round 80 starting weight: 181.8
Goal weight, eventually: 150
Goal this round: increase endurance while running. I’d love to be in the 170s by the end of this round.
6/12…183. Had an impromptu gathering with friends at the house last night, which upended my careful tracking somewhat, but I weighed in this morning nonetheless. No gym today as I’ve run/walked several days in a row and figure I need a rest day.
6/13…181.0 I finished day 2, week 7 of my couch to 5K program and am feeling good; that’s a total of 20 minutes of running. Today I was able to run/walk the three miles in 40 minutes, which had been a small goal of mine. I’ve got the 170s in sight.
6/14…179.6 Ha! This is after 50 minutes on the treadmill first thing in the morning. I did yesterday’s couch to 5 K workout over again, as it was fairly hard. I broke yesterday’s personal best record by about 40 seconds, so a new personal best of three miles in 40.04. I’ll take a rest day tomorrow, or just walk with no running. I’ve also been close or just slightly over on my calories every day lately and I’ve kept up with my water intake. Whoop!
6/15…Did not weigh. Two words: piz-za. Yes, I know it’s really one word. I ate two words' worth. I’m sure I’m chock full of sodium.
6/16…Did not weigh. Woke up feeling an utter lack of energy, possibly because it’s so hot outside. Dragged myself to the gym in the evening, forced myself to do my day 3, week seven run/walk and, lo and behold, I crushed it.

12/06 - 199.4 - up due to grazing throughout the day. Only gentle exercise and could have done better with the water.
13/06 - 199.2 not a great day yesterday. Wrather was cold and wet so stayed in and nibbled all day. Hurt my foot also so cannot walk or run. Not a great start to the round.
14/06 - 200.4 - time to get my focus back
15/06 - 200.6 - not a great day foodwise and I cannot run or walk briskly.
16/06 - 200.6 at least I didn't gain anymore.
17/06 - 200.2 - a slight loss. I am back on it today. More control over my food an will hav e plenty of water. I cannot walk briskly nor can I run and that isn't going to change for a while so I will have to work around it.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 146.0 I didn’t exercise yesterday (first time in three weeks) and I also didn’t gain so shows that I can (and probably should) take rest days since I feel more energized now. This week is my TOM and I’m going to start tracking. I used to put it in my notes section of MFP but I can’t find that so easier to track old fashioned style to see how much I do and don’t gain
06/13 145.8 It is nice to see a new number. I managed to do 35 minutes yesterday at the gym, which I usually avoid completely for 2-3 days on my period. Today is really busy so I’m going to try to get the deficit on food alone.
06/14 145.4 yesterday was not an ideal diet day. I didn’t eat much, but drank more than usual. My nba team lost and it was a nail biter and an aperol spritz excessive game! Back to water and actual food today.
06/15 145.4 ate well yesterday and off to a boxing class today with a friend and watching a movie after.
06/16 145.0 great to meet another happy scale milestone! I’m confident I can meet my goal and end this round under 145 since my TOM ends tomorrow. Going to brunch with my parents for father’a day. It’s a buffet so will be easy to make good choices .
06/17 144.7 today may be a bit of a struggle since I’m pretty sore from Saturday’s boxing class in my calves and hamstrings. I have a beginning tennis class during my lunch break that I started last week so hopefully can be ready for that.

Lot going on this round - daughters 16th birthday, cheer competition in Brighton this weekend, Fathers Day and youngest away all next week on her school residential so my other daughter wants to have a shopping and lunch out day so going to have to be super-focused this round to stay on track to meet my holiday goal. A Friday finish to the round is good though!!
5 rounds to go and aiming to lose a further 6lbs....... So looking to finish this round at 138lb - an overall loss of 1.1lb....
R80 Start Weight - 139.1lb
06/12 - 138.7lb (-0.4lb) Happy with that to start with. Off work today as youngest has her district sports inter schools athletic competition to go and watch and its also my other Daughters 16th birthday today so need to avoid the cake and treats and choose sensibly when we go out for dinner tonight. Feeling focused .......
06/13 - 140.9lb (+2.2lb) Had lunch out yesterday (egg, chorizo and veggies on toast) and Nando's (no starter, chips or dessert) last night with a small glass or red wine last night for my daughters birthday. Other than water (probably not enough), tea and coffee, nothing else passed my lips all day and I was within calories for the day (as best as I could estimate my lunch at least).
So I know this 2.2lb isn't a gain as I would have to have overeaten by 7,000+ calories and I know it will be back off very quickly but just goes to show how much weight can fluctuate by day to day for no real reason just based on macros and I guess salt.
Not concerned - albeit still frustrated as back over that 140 again - but still sure I'll reach my round target.
Off to drink my water.....
06/14 - 139.6lb (-1.3lb) As expected but still a bit more to go to get back to Wednesdays weight so hopeful it will be gone by tomorrow. So much going on at the minute seem to be on the see-saw again - overall trend still seems to be down though which I guess is what counts. Normal day today so should all be good for tomorrows weigh in which will be early as heading off for a cheer competition so an early start, a long day, a late night and 5-6 hours in the car so wont be an easy day.........
06/15 - DNW
06/16 - DNW
06/17 - DNW but back to proper tracking today. Weekend was full of take-out / fast food at the cheer comp rounded off by a Fathers Day BBQ at my brothers yesterday evening who never does anything remotely healthy! Why is it so difficult to get anything half decent to eat at these events ? To top it off the only place that was open at the services on the way home at 11pm was McD's
But only a couple of days which although it may show up on the scales for a few days, really shouldn't make too much difference overall. A clear week ahead to stay focused (before heading away again at the weekend for another cheer competition....) Have a good week everyone

I am 52 y/o 5’1.5” from PA. I have a ways to go to reach my ultimate goal of 110lbs. Weight loss is harder as you get older but not impossible. It definitely is a life time change and it tends to slow down quicker, and every day is a struggle. In the end I will get this and not beat myself up over mistakes.Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)

So hard when I have the 2 grandkids for the sumer.
@FarmerCarla Ages 7 and 9, being active isn't the problem (weather permitting). The 7 year old can be so draining, he has serious behavioral issues which can cause problems with some activities. He also has a TSS worker everyday for 2 or 3 hours (usually here for 9:30 or 10am and then a behaviorist about once a week). It is great to have my grandkids, love the summer with them, but hard to do anything else or what I want to be active.
@jlbtnc In that case, I'll be praying for you and the children! As a former Special Ed teacher, I now better understand your challenge. God bless you all!
@FarmerCarla thank you, it is quite the challenge some days.4 -

Aim to lose 4lbs this round
This is my 2nd round, found this a really great way to keep myself accountable and on track and I had a great loss the first round so lets keep it up. Good luck everyone, we can do this
06/12 – 214.4 (-0.4) Really pleased with this was over calories yesterday and didn’t make it to the gym. Gym tonight so hoping for a good drop tomorrow
06/13 – 214.2 (-0.6) Slow and steady at the moment, seem to have lost motivation at the moment, haven’t been to the gym since Monday but going to try and motivate myself to go tonight. Calories within goal
06/14 – 215.0 (+0.2) Oh dear, really need to get my head back in the game here. Yesterday was a bad day but going to put it behind me and try and get back on track
06/15 – 213.6 (-1.2) Not sure how this happened but I’ll take it
06/16 – 214.6 (-0.2)
06/17 – 216.4 (+1.6) TOM so hopefully just some bloating and the number will be back down after a couple of days, just hoping for any kind of loss by the end of this round now

R80 GW: 137 lbs / 62.1kg
GW: 133 lbs / 60.3kg
UGW: 126 lbs / 57.2kg
R80 Goal: Round 79 (my 2nd round) was much better than R78, working my way to a 4lb loss! The goal for this round is to keep up with the training and controlled eating. I have Tough Mudder this round too and I can't wait!
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.
Also... 10K steps a day and more water!
12/06 138.5lbs / 62.8kg (-1lb / 0.5kg) and 12,879 steps
Had a good day yesterday with exercise and food. Was especially chuffed to have enough calories to eat a WHOLE tub of low cal raspberry ripple ice cream last night (350 cals for the full tub) while watching my favourite TV show Today's plan is much of the same...walk to and from work with a Push session at lunchtime. Keeping up with the water intake too.
13/06 139.5lbs / 63.3kg (+1lb / 0.5kg) and 11,922 steps
Can't shift the feeling of disappointment when I see a gain, no matter how small. But my body feels like it has been hit by a train today after my Push session at the gym. At least I know where the gain came from. I have Functional HIIT tonight after work and have a good day ahead of me all round
14/06 138.75lbs / 62.9kg (-0.75lbs / 0.4kg) and 18,737 steps
Was expecting another gain because I'm still achy, plus I weighed in later than usual, but happy with this. The 45 min HIIT class last night was very cardio intensive so got a great workout 💪 Was meant to be leg day today but seeing as Tough Mudder is this weekend, I made an executive decision to miss it today. Will be getting my steps in as going to a farm with the little one today. Only challenge will be water intake so taking my own bottle to fill up as we toddle around.
15/06 141lbs / 64kg (+2.25lbs / 1.1kg) and 7,535 steps
Really not happy with this as was under my calorie goal yesterday. Didn't hit my step goal as there wasn't as much walking on the day trip as I would have liked. Also forgot my water bottle so I suppose this gain could be coz of poor water intake coupled with not going to the toilet 😔 Oh well, today I am going for a loooong walk despite the rain to get my steps in. Food today will be protein packed as I am doing Tough Mudder tomorrow, can't wait!
16/06 142.4lbs / 64.6kg (+1.5lbs / 0.6kg) and 7,850 steps
A well deserved gain after a chocolate binge last night. Was expecting more so might see it tomorrow 🤦♀️ anyway, Tough Mudder today 💪
17/06 146lbs / 66.2kg (+3.5lbs / 1.6kg) and 20,291 steps
>:( Really not happy with this but I guess it's catch up from the chocolate binge. However, I did burn over 1,100 calories doing Tough Mudder yesterday so WTH is this? I'm in such a bad mood but going to try and get over it and not dwell. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I can stick to everything food and exercise then just go an blow it by bingeing on crap. Grrrr make myself so damn mad!
Super proud I got through TM yesterday, had so much fun and can't wait for the next one. Today's focus is water, water, water. Exercise planned for lunchtime is a push session, weights will be a bit lighter as a bit achy from TM but still be a good session.

Aim to get to 178 by the end of this round.
06/13- 180.2
I was shocked when i went to scan in my small bag of Ringolos (after eating) that they were over 400 cal...new lesson, look before I eat from now on.

180.4 Need to tip the scale below 180. I’m trending down slowly but just need to be patient, something that’s hard for me. I’ve also cut the snacking down drastically although not all together. Next goal is to cut the sugar sweets- my nemesis and get more active.
06/15-street party.
Lots of eating and drinking.
06/16- Father’s Day.
Lots of eating and recovering from street party.
06/17- 181.4
Put on a lb with all the weekend festivities. Back on track today.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you don't mind me joining halfway through! I just don't want to wait another five days to start holding myself accountable. I'm a teacher, and school got out last week. If I'm not careful, I'll play the "I'll start next week" game until September. Since I'm starting so late in this round, I'm going to make my goals habit-based.
Goals:
Track weight
Track food
Drink 80 oz of water

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12: 162.6 Another day at this low. It's supposed to be absolutely gorgeous today. Hoping to get in a walk between my last work visit and kids coming home from school. Stanley Cup game 7 tonight. Go Bruins!
06/13: 162.0 I was able to get in a 5 mile walk yesterday. Not sure this is an accurate weight. I had some drinks last night and snacked a little. I expect I will see it tomorrow on the scale. We will see.
06/14: 163.8 yep. As expected. Damage control today. Water, water, water... A walk if I can swing it but work might keep me busy all day.
06/15 163.8
06/16: DNW
06/17: 163.8 I consider this good. It was a very busy weekend. We took down a huge stone fireplace/chimney at our camp. I helped move huge rocks and cement. So sore this morning. Didn't track, ate too many snacks, and beers Saturday night. So a good weight considering...
