    Wow what a CRAZY week! Was able to complete all of my goals except I did not exercise today. Otherwise feeling good. I see that everyone is doing a GREAT job also!!! Already have my goals and meals planned for next week. Grocery list is completed and will get everything cooked up for the week on Sunday. No sugar all week and it went really well. Did eat a little bit of flour but that is okay. Will do better next week. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK everyone!!!

    As of October 7th this is how I am doing with my challenge:

    1. I had 100 oz of water (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 72 mins (out of 60 mins a day)
    3. I have gone over in calories as it is Friday night football and I HAD to have a hotdog!
    4. I did complete my food diary as honestly as I could.

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    I felt good about myself today after completing 3 miles running on the treadmill.

    The only goal I met on this date is that I logged in. I had an interview and it took longer than expected. Not an excuse, a reality. two days in a row..... may need to re-evaluate my goals. Thank you for the support and hugs. :-)

    I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I finished my week strong and am striving for a good weekend too! I weighed myself yesterday morning so I can hold myself accountable for any gain on Monday. I think I did really well with my goals this week, and am looking forward to getting back on the treadmill next week!
