    HW Starting MFP in May: 154.0
    Sept. SW: 147.0, Holding Average 147.7
    Sept. GW: Moving Average Around 145.0-145.5

    Goal #1: 8.5 Minute Core/Ab Routine Every Other Day (Ultimate Goal of Great Posture!)
    Goal #2: 2-3 Exercise Classes per week, OR 2 long walks/biking/hiking outside or combo
    Goal #3: Stay within daily calorie targets - with plans in place for night time snacking and special events. My concrete goal for September will be to track it all, even if I go overboard on a night binge or event food to build awareness in the process

    SW:201
    GW: 175 (overall)

    Goal #1: Get down to 196 this month
    Goal #2: Be active at least 3 times a week
    Goal #3: Eat mindfully

    9/1 - 201
    9/2 - 9/5: didn't weigh
    9/6 - 199
    9/7
    9/8
    9/9 - 200 (dang weekend!)
    9/10
    9/11- 198 (woohoo! Already got in my workout this morning and planned my meal for a lunch outing with co-workers)
    9/12 - 197 (nice!! Lunch yesterday was a bit of a mess up, but the good news is I realized how many calories were in one of my favorite dishes. Now I have plans as to how to lower them so I can still enjoy it. Workout already complete for today!).
    9/13 - 196 (definitely want to be sure to MAINTAIN this to meet my goal!).
    9/14 - 196 (Zumba class this morning. I dont log on the weekends but I did eat relatively okay. I was mindful of calories).
    9/15 - didn't weigh, definitely had an off day! Gave into a few cravings and habits, but also stopped myself a few times and made better choices. A neutral day.
    9/16 - 196 (holding steady!! That's a relief after the weekend).
    9/17 - 195.8 (definitely feeling extra snacky today. Or really, extra hungry!).
    9/18 - 195.8
    9/19 - 9/22 - didn't weigh or exercise (tropical storm and some emotional distress derailed me for a few days)
    9/23 - 193 (how the heck did this happen???)
    9/24 - 193
    9/25 - 192.8 (I am eating back more exercise calories, but I am waiting for hunger signals before doing so. A win!).
    9/26 - 193
    9/27 - 193 (Seem to be holding steady here, which is absolutely fine! I have felt physically off the last few days, but I am not sure if that is something with my sinuses....or maybe just need coffee?? :D)
    9/28-9/29 - weekend, did not weight. Was a little less mindful of my snacking, oops.
    9/30 - 193!

    I felt great about my goals this month. I definitely was active and met my lb goal. I am a little more relaxed on the weekend about logging. I am practicing being "mindful", but still a work in progress!

    Sept Wrap -

    5'8" 42yo
    SW: 145.6 - End Weight 145.6 (I don't know if I should laugh or cry)
    Sept GW: 140
    GW: 133

    August SW 145.8 EW 145.6

    I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
    Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
    Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
    Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
    Hips 38.5- No change in Aug

    Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk - I did do well on this one.
    Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 25 real push ups in a rep - so 25 was too much of a jump BUT I got to 18 in one rep. Ended the month at 72 pushups and started the month at 55.
    Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week - Bahahaha -this needs improvement. I don't drink much at a time (usually, but I do love 1 glass of wine with dinner)
    Goal #4: Drop 1" off waist
    Goal #5: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week - stayed pretty decent on this.
