Last week: 297
This week: 289
I am happy with the number. :) My main focus was protein and veggies, but I wasn't as strict about it as I could have been. I had at least 80 ounces of water EVERY DAY (most of the time, more!). I exercised some every day, even if it wasn't the hardest workout - I always made myself do SOMETHING.
I will take this as a success though, I am 4 pounds away from my first reward. At 285 I am going to renew my Netflix subscription. I don't have cable, I don't like to waste money on it. I do like movies and catching up on some series sometimes - I used to have Netflix but then I moved a couple times. I've been wanting to renew it, now I hope to be able to do it next week if I get to 285!
Gosh, it's nice to be in the 200's. Uggh, I felt so stuck for so long. Up and down. I will never be over that number again, NEVER.
I am doing my weigh-in early because I will be on travel for work Sunday evening-Monday-Tuesday. I have my Master's degree in Social Work. I went through a university where the program was 'Advanced Generalist', meaning there were areas of focus in both Administration and Clinical practice. I prefer Administration, I am a Grant Coordinator right now for a grant that serves children aged 0-5 with disabilities. I don't do direct service at this point, but have plans to expand the services of my office. Right now we contract most of the work down to another agency, I do strictly administration - numbers, numbers, numbers, budget, data, plans, supervision, uggh. I miss being in 1:1 service with children and families, it's where my heart is. I will eventually focus on Clinical practice either being a behavioral health specialist or intake worker for a mental health agency or the like. Right now, this program needs my leadership and I'm giving it everything I've got! Just a little more information about me..............
I hope you all had a wonderful week and good weigh-ins. Looking forward to reading and catching up after my work trip. Happy losing!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
I started this challenge at 311, I have lost 22 pounds so far. My goal was 41, if I step it up a notch I might still be able to make that goal. I remember thinking a couple weeks ago there was no way - now, I'm more convinced that this is mine!!

ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful progress - you're really putting a lot of effort into it!
ReplyDeleteI'm even more impressed with what you do 'in-real-life'. Social work is not just a career, it's a ministry of the highest order, a chance to be God's Hands and Feet. (Even in administration!)
Oh that is amazing, wonderful and even better so great for you and your health. I am so proud of you!! YEAH!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work and enjoy Netflix. They changed their program you can have either movie or steam lined each for $8.00 a month or $14.00 for both. Well worth if you have DSL or Broadband. A great reward.
Take care and God Bless!!
Congratulations. You are on the right track and doing great.
ReplyDeleteApril, next year - you & me in Hawaii! =)
