What I've learned about myself:

CW 261.9
GW 240 (or less!)

W1 8/4: 256.4. Depression has been hitting hard the past few days, making it very difficult to stay active. Still, down 5.5 lbs in 9 days is an amazing start.

W2 8/11: 252.4 All summer I’ve been “officially” weighing myself after I workout as the number was 2-3 lbs lighter than right when I woke up and made me feel better. I realized this past week that he difference was just water, and that with school starting back up I will be switching from morning to afternoon workouts, so that model just wouldn’t work anymore anyway. Today was the first day I “officially” weighed before working out. I expected a number in the 255s, as that was my preworkout weight all week, so the 252 was a pleasant surprise. Down 4lbs since last checkin, 9.5 since starting weight for this challenge, 19.5 total (since may 23).

W3 8/18: 257.6 Last week was a fluke, and today is a salt issue. I was in the 254-255s all week and jumped this morning, which makes sense after tacos and margaritas last night. I didn’t work out the 3 days I worked except for a 40 minute walk during a lunch break on Monday. Tomorrow we will be sitting in a meeting all day, so that will be another low burn day. I have to get better about my food logging and actually weigh things, because I’m not going to have the same opportunity to run now that school is back on.

W4 8/25: 255.8. I was as high as 260 this week, but have peeked and am on my way back down. I was too tired after work all week to go for a walk, and I strained a ligament in my foot, so I wasn’t able to run today or yesterday. School will be fun the next few days, as it hurts to stand or walk but the show must go on.

W5 9/1: 251.8: 20lbs lost since just before summer started, 4 lbs down since last week, and a didn’t destroy my work this week tailgating yesterday. Still not working out, but my foot feels like it is healing quickly, only a small amount of soreness, but the rest of my body is sore from yesterday. We moved up in the world to a paved lot this year, and it seems standing on the cement all day is harder on my back and legs than standing in the grass. We won though (barely, in triple overtime) and I’m back on track after a 2 week flux period.

W6 9/8: 251.0 11.9 lbs lost since starting the challenge, was at 250.0 yesterday. Really excited to be so close to leaving the 250s behind! Still not working out, I'm just too tired at the end of the day and I'm already getting up really early. Been getting over 10k steps everyday at work, though, as I basically don't sit down between 8am and 2pm when I have students. No tailgating this week, but College Gameday is broadcasting from our school this next weekend, so it could get a little crazy.
