Well, I didn't make it to yoga this morning. Had a long talk last night with my 17yo son about expectations. He had spent the night with his girlfriend, told us he was at his friend's house when he wasn't. DH is mad that he lied, ds doesn't seem to understand that he can't, at 17, spend the night with his gf. I had to talk him into not leaving once dh and I went to bed. So I was up until 1am and decided, when I woke up at 5:20, that I needed sleep more than I needed to go to yoga this am. Of course, I still woke up at 7.

Weigh-in this am: 140!
5% challenge Starting Weight 6/23: 147

Final Weight 8/18:

My 5% goal is to lose 7 lbs
My goal weight is 140 lbs met with 3 weeks to go!!

(Starting weight x 0.05 = 5% goal)
(Starting weight x 0.95 = goal weight)

I am amazed! It has been so hard before to lose anything, and I surpassed my goal this month. I am at the lowest weight I've been at in a year! Stress level has been much lower with being out of school and finishing my Master's classes by mid-month. I haven't been as hungry, due both to lower stress and getting more sleep. Pain from braces has also led me to eat less this month. Hoping to lose a little more before school starts Aug 9 and focus on maintaining and keeping stress low through the school year!

I'm off to get some things done at home today and try to do something fun with my girls this last Friday I have off!
