Goal Weight: 140 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. 1400 calories + <½ of exercise calories 10/10 days –
2. 8 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. Strength training 4/10 days –
4. Walk:Run 4/10 days –
5. 5 mins Affirmations 10/10 days -

5/2 – 147.8 lbs – It is a new round. That is the beauty of a 10-day challenge – you get to start again. I am NOT going to dwell on the last round – that will not help me to move forward. All I can do is try to stay positive and start fresh and try to make some adjustments so that I can get closer to my goals. I have adjusted my goal weight to 140 lbs, for the moment. I may move it down again, at some point, but for this round it seems like a good place to set my sights. I have been feeling overwhelmed and depressed, for some reason, for the last couple of weeks. I have felt like there hasn’t been enough time to participate in this challenge, as well as I would like. I know a few folks offered me some kind words in the last round, which I failed to recognize – thanks to all those who offered me encouragement!! It is greatly appreciated. (And yes, “Jenny food” equals frozen Jenny Craig meals.) 😊 I forget if I mentioned in the last round that my gym is bumping up the monthly fee. I am waiting for them to tell me the exact price, but I am pretty sure I am going to cancel my membership. I had purchased bands from Amazon a few months ago; I finally got hubby to get them out of the box for me. My intention is to set myself some sort of exercise plan that I can do here at home, which I will need to establish today if I intend to complete a session tomorrow, as it states on my weekly exercise plan. Today is a walk:run day, so I need to focus on making that a priority for the day. In terms of improvements for this round, I think I can identify that lack of sleep and lack of fluids may have impacted my energy last round, which in turn impacted my ability to maintain my exercise routine, which in turn impacted my mood, which in turn impacted my ability to attend work, which made me feel guilty and ashamed, which impacted my sleep… you see where this is going. Lol. Okay, we are off to a new 10 days. To all those who have been struggling of late, let’s lift one another up, and help each other to be a bit better this round than we were last round. That is all we can do.
