LouisaH-Oh I wouldn't say I was off the wagon this time, just living life. Having my birthday and anniversary in close succession has it's pitfalls, ya know? Thanks for the leg up though. I'm down over a pound from yesterday. You know how it goes when it's most water weight. I'm totally planning to be at my low weight for the marathon. You're SO right about it being nicer to run at a lower weight.

Right now my main motivation to get back down to my goal range is fitting nicely into my clothes. It's amazing how much difference 10 pounds makes! I'm staying plenty busy and active, so it's really a matter of reigning in the food and I imagine that will become MUCH easier once the kids are in school. I have so many projects that will keep me occupied during the day and then I can just plan nice healthy suppers. Right now we are rarely all home for more than 1 meal a day which is VERY unusual for us and makes for quite the challenge diet-wise. Next Monday begins the schedule slow-down which I'm really looking forward to! We just wanted to soak in all the joys of summer while it lasts. Only a few more weeks before the kids are back in school and I'm going to miss them so much!

I have to remove one of my goals.

I decided to try and "superwoman" the month of August, but it's going to lead to injury. With the couch to 5k, 6 day drive across the country, work/school deadlines, and monster walks at theme parks, I do not need to do the 30DS this month. I will do it occasionally, but only as supplement. I will pick it up again in September.

Lewisempire - could you please remove 30DS (again) from my list of goals?

Thanks :)

Daily Check In

I'm down another 2lbs.
The 230's seem to be going fast. It's got me wondering if my scale is broken or needs a new battery? I don't feel that different.

Hope your day is a good one!

I know what you mean! That's my motivation for the next few pounds. Losing 10 pounds will have me fitting into everything in my current closet, and then it will be time to go replace most of it! Hope your marathon training goes well!

I've met my first goal -- the halfway point goal. That was 155.5 and I'm down to 155.1. :carrot: Now on to the "normal weight" goal!

Ooh, ooh, I'm in! (late!) By the end of August, I want to reach my freakin' goal weight! 120 lbs. I got down to 125 and bounced back to 128 in july, but I think this is doable.

Checking in. Day has gone good so far. Finished my workout and had dinner even before showering because I was so hungry (I NEVER do that xD). I was happy that dinner was a salad I'd already made and refrigerated. Now I'm gonna go shower, then make a trip to the library (to pay an overdue fine :o I feel terrible about it, my first ever :().

Hope you ladies are doing good!

A good day here, but time for bed now. Will have more to say tomorrow when time permits. Have a great one ladies!

Evenin' all. I've had a good couple of days, but the scale isn't being as generous as I had hoped it would be. I'm working hard, working out, and eating well, even though I'm eating way, way, way more fruit than I should. But hey, it's melon season, peach season and the end of the blueberries, and believe it or not fresh figs. If I'm going to stuff myself until I feel a little ill, it's better with fruit than with many other options. Come winter, I don'etknow what I'll be eating, though we have been freezing lots of our corn, tomatoes and berries from the CSA pickups each week, so hopefully I won't have to resort to much non-local stuff. But winters are much more carb-o-licious than summers, so I'll take advantage while I can!

My back is killing me (did I mention it's melon season?) and making exercise difficult, but I'm not letting it stop me. I have to keep pushing hard to make progess--it seems to be getting harder each month.:whoo:

A domani.

Check In Time :)

Yesterday was OP - planning a OP day for today.

Hope your day is a good one!

I've been MUCH better this week about staying active. Went for a nice run on the trail yesterday. Today I went for nice walk through town. It was a bit rainy, but I didn't mind. There were lots of tourists here and they're always adorable to see, the way they walk through and admire our town.

Anyway, I'm down to 154.5 -- only 4.6 pounds until I'm at my normal weight goal!
