And we're off to a brand new week...#8! What's your plan this week? Any special challenges or rewards planned?

It's not too late! 5 weeks is a great period to start a new habit. 5 weeks make you swoon? How about a 1 week baby step goal?

Motivational Thought of the Day:
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.-Thomas Edison

Thanks for the break Denise!

I had a good day... went for a walk with the other land lubbers for 2 mi around the lake... and "thought like a pirate".

Arrrrr... raised the sails (an umbrella) to protect me fair and comely complexion!

Aye!! Me ship, she sailed on straight and true today. Thar was no veering from course.

The ‘morrow will bring a day of scrubbing the poop deck.

Good nigh, me mateys. Yars a bonny good crew!

I'm still on plan for the week. I only have one point out of my weekly 35 points allowance (sort of a bank for extras) but I have 2 points left for today if I want them, and tomorrow is my weigh-in so my bank resets. So as long as I make smart choices tomorrow, I'm good and should have a good weigh-in.

I would really love to see a weigh-in in the 160s, since I've been stuck in the 170s forever. Some of my size 12 stuff is starting to fit and I'd like to get to the point where all of it does.

I ended up having a good day despite my fears of being laptopless. Gives me hope for the rest of the week : )

I haven't been online a whole lot lately but I am doing well towards my goal in October!
8 lbs down!

Wow is it day 50 already?

I'm going to tally my little XXXX of grain, veg, dairy, etc, servings on Sunday.

I found it really helpful to have a big picture.

I should have no trouble going to the Y on Tues, Thurs and Saturday... that is the plan!

I am feeling very hungry today. PMS, I know along with eating too much on Saturday and too little yesterday.
I have eaten my breakfast, snack and just had lunch (all on plan) so I need to stop eating now. I will have my snack this afternoon and then an early dinner.
I am a bit nervous about staying on plan today because I had lunch so early--- I was just so hungry and thought it best to eat.

Wow, is it really Week 8 already? I'm losing track of the baby steps I'm supposed to be taking. But for this week, I'm going to make more of an effort to measure my portions and make sure I'm eating a "serving."

Last week, I got off track and pledged to get back on. That took a little longer and more effort than I planned. I haven't made much weight loss progress during the Challenge and I need to step it up.

Sunday is usually an off day for exercise but, since I missed two weekday workouts last week vs. one, I made it up by adding a Sunday workout. It's rare that I ever go to the gym on both Saturday and Sunday, but I did this weekend, so I had a good workout weekend. Saturday was upper body weights and about 1 1/4-hour cardio and Sunday was lower body weights and an hour of cardio.

Food was pretty good except for a sweet attack at the grocery store on Saturday.

The weekend was ok- not great, but not bad either. Dd sort of melted down on Saturday afternoon and was tired and had stomach stuff until yesterday afternoon. (She had a sleep over at our house on Friday night and a party on Saturday with lots of junk to eat- she does not do well with too much junk.) I stuck close to her, and generally took it very easy yesterday. We seem to be recovered today and are starting the week on a postive note.
Back to logging food today.

I'm needing a clean week. After going on Friday night and sushi yesterday, I'm retaining water and probably some real weight too.
Back to "normal" today : )
