Vacation Success
I just wanted add another post to the vacation success stories for anyone going on vacation. I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Hawaii. I was soooo worried about gaining a lot of weight while we were gone, especially since it was for a significant amount of time. I waivered back and forth on whether I should try to…

Good morning! I hit my goals yesterday. It also happened to be my first day of pull-up training. Thank you @danelutza19 for the link to that training.

NSV: Non Scale Victories!
We have the spreadsheet to track our progress on the scale, but we all know that there are so many other things that we can celebrate along the way. We had a NSV thread during the last challenge that was very popular. So I thought I'd start one for this challenge too. I'll kick it off as well. I'm wearing smaller pants…

Day 95: 4/15/15
Wow! Only 5 days left! Weighed in this morning and I have 0.4 lbs left to hit my goal for this challenge! Hit my goals yesterday. Biking felt good, but my poor rear end is still adjusting to the bicycle seat. Mr. Ting assures me that it gets better, but that's hard to believe right now. Goals for today: 1. stay within…

Day 93: 4/13/15
Good morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. To be honest, my weekend was terrible. We got called to the hospital on Saturday morning for my sick FIL. His prognosis isn't very positive right now and the roller coaster of him doing better, then crashing, then doing better, then crashing again is just draining. We…

Milestone 9 - Day 90: 4/10/15
Good morning! Don't forget to weigh in for Milestone 90 if you haven't already. I was very happy to wake up to a whoosh on the scale this morning. Down 1.4lbs since yesterday! I only have 1.4lbs to go to hit my goal for this challenge. I hit my goals yesterday. Running was tough since I had to resort to the treadmill. Ugh.…

Day 89: 4/9/15
Good morning! Milestone day 9 is tomorrow, so don't forget to weigh in. I managed to hit my goals yesterday. However, my weight hasn't changed since milestone day 8.

Day 88: 4/8/15
Good morning! I'm back down to my pre-Easter weight today! Was up 3lbs on Monday morning, obviously water weight, but it's still nice to see my lower weight pop up again. I hit my goals yesterday. It was a tough day. My father-in-law is critically ill and in the hospital, so its just very stressful and emotional right now.…

Day 86: 4/6/15
Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I thoroughly enjoyed eating all the foodz yesterday. Easter is one of my "no counting, no worrying, eat anything" days for the year. I do this for major holidays (Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) and my birthday. So worth it even though I was +3lbs this…

Day 83: 4/3/15
TGIF! I hit my goals yesterday. I was able to get outside for my run and it felt amazing! I hit a new PR for my mile split times. Last year, my fastest time was 11:17 per mile. Yesterday I was 10:38 per mile. Not super fast, but I'm hoping to break that 10 minute mile mark soon! Goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2.…

Day 82: 4/2/15
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great day yesterday! I hit my goals yesterday. I even got most of my steps done during the day at work. That has been one of my big focuses lately, since its a pain to have to get 6000 steps done after I get home from work. I really hoping to be able to run outside tonight. It should be…
-
Day 81: 4/1/15
80 days down, 20 to go! I hit my goals yesterday. We went grocery shopping as well and ended up at BJs. For anyone unfamiliar, BJs is a wholesale club, so you buy everything in bulk. I had a coupon for Talenti gelato and bought a giant tub of the sea salt caramel variety. OMG it's sooo gooood! And as a bonus, Mr. Ting…

Day 79: 3/30/15
Good morning! I hit my goals this weekend. I even went rock climbing at an indoor rock wall place this weekend. It was tough, but a lot of fun. I woke up yesterday and today all sore, but the "hurts so good" type. Started off this morning with a health screening at work. They have these voluntary screenings every year and…

Day 76: 3/27/15
TGIF! I hit my goals yesterday. I got up early this morning and already got my swim done. I have a concert tonight with the choir group that I'm in, so it was get up early and go or don't go at all today. I'm not a morning person, so it takes a real commitment for me to get up an hour earlier. Now all I have to do is get…

Day 72: 3/23/15
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I got a lot done this weekend. I hit my goals on Saturday, but not so great yesterday. I did my workout, but pretty much ignored my calories and steps. I did go back and put in everything I could remember eating before I went to bed. I went over my calories, but not over…

Day 69: 3/20/15
It's Spring!!! Don't forget to weigh in either today or tomorrow for milestone 7! Had a good day yesterday. I hit my step goal, but didn't finish my workout goal. That's ok. I was exhausted and stuffed to the gills from dinner. We ate way too much food!! It was delicious, but I'm really glad to be back at it today. Feeling…
-
Day 68: 3/19/15
Good morning! I hit my goals yesterday except for my tracking. I ate a snack that I didn't account for. I guess I could go back and log it now, but I do better just moving on. Moving on to the next day and forgetting what happened yesterday is what has kept me on this path this time around instead of just throwing my hands…

Day 66: 3/17/15
Happy St. Patrick's Day! (I'm part Irish and live in Massachusetts. St. Patrick's Day is a huge deal for us!) Today has not started off well. My husband couldn't find his keys. He ended up taking the spare keys, although I did find his real keys after he left the house. I got to work and the network is down, which means I…
