3/31:
Calories: 1901 (in range)
Water: 8+
Exercise: 132 min (dancing, yoga, .6 m walk)
Motivation: to maintain my weight for the rest of the month
Delight: fun with my best friend

This weekend was a total blast! I splurged a bit (especially yesterday), but I also had more activity than usual, which seems to have evened out, as my weigh-in today was the same as one week ago. I still tracked everything, even though sometimes I had to go with my best guess.

See everybody in the April challenge!

I'm definitely keeping this going next month, and I hope we'll get some newcomers to join us, too! It's a great way to keep going, even when the going gets tough!

My successes:
Didn't go nearly as overboard on vacation food as I could have ;)
Got over 10,000 steps one day
Drank more water
Had a healthy, homemade green smoothie yesterday
Am a little over my goal weight for the first time in a very long while, but at least it's a fraction of a pound. Could be worse!

Anne, congrats on the loss and on meeting your goals!

Successes for the week -
Well, the scale has not been my friend this week. I am up a pound, but still down for the month overall. I have been pretty good with my eating . . . . but this week has been a hard week for getting enough sleep and too much stress. We also ate out more than usual. I will have to regroup and make this next week a better one!
I did do well drinking my water this week.
I also did well with exercise.

Happy Friday everyone!

Hi Ladies, thanks for the encouragement. I always tend to do too much - I want it last week. Call it a character flaw. My mother fusses at me - tells me to slow down that I'm not 30 anymore.

But the rebel in me rises and wants to prove different.

Good Monday morning to all.

Thanks Cassie for checking on me. I am in a place of "I don't care that I don't care". I was doing so much better before my knee injections, and I know from experience that recovery is slow. For every two steps forward, I take five steps back. I really hate that my appetite has returned.

I though maybe just popping in would get my mind heading in the right direction.
