The scale decided to move! I know the number on the scale isn't everything, but it sure is a psychological boost to see a shift in the right direction.
We can all do this! One more week. Let's finish strong and crush it.
Hope you're on the mend, SuzOh.

Ugh the scale was not my friend this morning. I knew I'd be up from last week because I'm actually eating again, but it really went up. I contribute that to an over indulgence of my husband's delicious pasta last night. I have to make next week really count.
Challenge loss so far: 2.4 pounds.

Weekly Goal Check-In:
1. Plan backups for bedtime/midday snack cravings and weekends and fit snacks/treats into calorie targets -
NOT ACCOMPLISHED This is a tough one for me... I might have to think of a different way to set goals around this that are more concrete. I had 4 (FOUR!!!) occasions this past week where I went overboard some: 2 potlucks in one day for family/friends visits, one morning out to breakfast and one night a work event. The work event and out to breakfast only went a little bit over my targets, but potluck day definitely went off the rails. It was fun though, I enjoyed everything I chose to eat!
2. Go to at least two exercise classes per week OR two long walks outside OR combo of the two -
ACCOMPLISHED! Did another PiYo this week, one yoga in the park, and going to another cycle class tonight so that's three, AND I rode my bike 3 times this week! My deal for the out to breakfast day was that I rode my bike there. Also rode my bike to the work event so I at least feel good about that.
3. 5-6 minute ab/core routine every other day -
ACCOMPLISHED! Bumped it up to 6.5 minutes and am doing 2 days on, 1 day off pattern now
4. Weigh in and post -
ACCOMPLISHED - Here!
5. Go the entire month of August without stopping for high calorie expensive coffee drinks -
ACCOMPLISHED! Not even tempted this week. Bought some new workout pants and a new sports bra (have had the same one for 8 years, barf!) with the money I've saved
I'm 36 and 5'4"
SW 7/25: 151.9
8/1: 148.8
8/8: 148.9
8/15: 148.0
*CW 8/22: 150.0

Still holding at/under 150 which is my Labor Day Goal and still down from where I started. Been using "Happy Scale" and weighing in daily so today's post is my running average. I tend to bounce around about 4 lbs, been interesting to see. This week I feel really great about my exercise goal - I can finally feel some strength building results, especially in my core. In cycle class I'm able to stand on the bike a lot longer and keep up with the instructor a bit more. Another ultimate goal of mine is to consistently sit up straight with good posture and core strength building is my plan to get there!
Mini GW (Labor Day): 149 (Finally get and stay under 150 for more than 3 weeks in a row, I've been on the yo-yo)
GW by End of Year: 139 (top of healthy BMI range)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 127 (Mid Range Healthy BMI) and keep it there!1 -
After dealing with an injury for 2 weeks, now this week I've been sick with a cold/virus. I swear I RARELY get sick and haven't had an injury for a long time, but when I'm in a 5 week weight loss/fitness challenge they both decide to visit. 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Just a little frustrated, but 1 more week, looking to finish strong.
*And I'm awake at O'dark thirty posting because this cold/virus wakes me up every couple of hours.
Happy Thursday! Positive vibes for a fresh start no matter what happened yesterday!
Hope you're feeling better this week SuzOh!1 -

2.3% in 4.5 weeks. Could have done better, but I am very happy to be back in the habit of tracking1 -
Spending the weekend in bed sick, hoping to be back up and at it soon. August has been a little tough, but I'll bounce back.
Just want to check in and say good luck to everyone this last week.of the challenge. 💜1 -
I weighed in early this week because tomorrow is my long bicycle ride. My weight is back to 195.4. So far I’ve ridden 72 miles on my longest day. I had an NSV this week as well as weight loss. I am able to fit into a pair of jeans that at the beginning of the summer wouldn’t even go over mid thigh. I wore them all day yesterday comfortably!
Always feels great to fit into a pair of jeans! Great job!

Starting to feel better and was able to do some real exercise for the first time in 8 days. Felt good to start off the last week of the challenge with a little sweat.
I hope everyone is feeling well and ready to finish the challenge strong!

OK so it's coming down, just not quite at the rate I wanted and with a *slight* detour... ha ha. However I bought a new dress. Two of them actually - in a LARGE. I know that may not sound like a grand achievement, but not buying clothes from the *plus* section, and not looking for the XL is totally new to me. I tried the XL dress and was swimming in it. I may have literally let out a huge SQUEEE in the dressing room.4 -
Its absolutely a big deal! Love it! You'll be in the 170's next week!1
