2016 - Week 25

Not sure what I've done but I'm obviously sabotaged my progress since the scales are going the wrong direction.  This week, I'm going to log every morsel that crosses my lips and have it evaluated by a professional.  I've got to get this under control!  Thanks for your indulgence, I'm headed back to weekly check-in's.  

Continuing to learn my new eating plan, and I'll be stepping up cardio and strength training, as much as my foot and shoulder will endure.  Looking forward to what next week might bring.

2016 - Week 20

After a weekend of not-so-clean eating, I'm very pleased with this small loss.  I'm still way behind what my intended loss was but I'll just keep chipping away until I find my metabolism "sweet spot".

2016 - Week 18

Darn, too many of Cousin Karen's cinnamon rolls last weekend!  Had to make a road trip for yet another funeral and apparently over did it a bit.  Getting back on track, as I type.

2016 - Week 17

Interesting, same weight as last week.  I don't understand the physiology but I've been told it takes three days for an eating indulgence (cheat meal) to appear on the scales and three additional days to process it out of your system.  I'm going with that!

2016 - Week 15

I'm always reluctant to post a big loss, in case it's a fluke.  Apparently, my "extra effort" payed off this week. Now, if I can just keep it going...
