Not sure why, because I've been very active the past two days, but my weights jumped up 2 lb., so no win for me this time! To be honest, I probably didn't deserve the win this time, as I really didn't focus on my goals much at all. Going to keep working toward my fitness and my weight loss though and keep a positive mindset. Thanks for the support, all!

Last day of the challenge and I'm 1.2 lb. away from my goal... time to really dial it in over the next two days to hit final weigh in!

I went running three times and tracked my calories 4/5 days out at the lake and was rewarded with a 4 lb. loss when I stepped on the scale this morning! My goal is within reach... just need to keep the scale moving in the right direction over the next few days of backpacking and into the end of next week.

How is everyone doing for progress toward their goals?

Oh gosh, it's been a rough week nutrition-wise... time to get serious!

Happy birthday to me! I'm 36 today, and my goal for the past year or so has been to be more fit at 40 than I was 35. To that end, I took my daughter hiking yesterday, which involved some trail running since she's 4, and I'll be hitting the treadmill tomorrow for Week 1 Day 3 of the Couch to 5K program. It feels good to be making strides with my cardio, as this has always been my weakest area when it comes to fitness. Have a great day, all!
