August goal: survive in one piece!!! just broke up with BF of 5+ years
In spite of this week's weight loss, I totally felt like my Aug goal went to crap today - went in for a haircut & lied thru my teeth to my stylist. She kept asking me questions about my (ex) BF and our summer vacations and I just couldn't bring myself to say the words - for fear I would cry on the spot & also too many people within earshot to listen to my pity party. Shame, b/c she's very nice, my age, and going thru a divorce of her own... so totally in a place to understand the relief / pain of a life in transition. One of these days it will get a better... *sigh*... until then at least I have a nice new haircut?!0 -

Weight this week is 168. It looks like I've gained a pound. No worries though my clothes are fitting better.
Okay apparently I am a few days behind for reporting. Well I am 164 this week my arms have gone down to 12" from 12.5"
everything else is the same.
I hope everyone is still keeping up with the challenge! I think that mini challenges will keep everyone motivated and on track. Maybe we can start the ball rolling this week with adding resistance training at least 2 times this week to your workout plan.0 -

Sept goals:
- Month-end weight loss 3.5 lbs (144.5 GW)
