Sunday check-in

So, for the week, I'm down 2.4 pounds. I'm really happy with that considering how much I strayed from the plan.  It just shows how well this works for me!

I also figured out that I'm only 10 pounds away from getting out of the Obese category with my weight. That is really exciting!! I think it's a far reach, but I would love to meet that goal by our next weigh in on October.  10 pounds gone in 11 days? Yeah, that's a little crazy. But, you never know. ;)

I'm newly motivated to hit the exercise hard with regularity.  If I can see the pounds come off being my normal lazy self, then I should see some great improvement by adding in some exercise. The weeks ahead look to be less busy so that leaves me time and room to put my health at the front page for a bit.

I'm also seeing that despite the pounds coming off, I'm not losing inches like I want.  Up top, I'm getting smaller, for sure. My hips and belly are still in the way, though, and I'm not going down in sizes like it seems I should with the weight loss. Focusing on T-Tapp will be a big help to see the inches come off. I want to see myself comfortably in the next size down by weigh-in next month. I'm going to work hard toward that goal. What's the use of losing 30-ish pounds if you're still able to wear the same (even if baggy) clothes you wore 30 pounds earlier??

We had a great hike with the family today.  I wore the baby and we hiked for a total of 2.5 hours. Gorgeous day for it, too!

I'm resting today due to several of the little girls having colds. I'm finally feeling like I've recovered from our busy weeks earlier this month, gotten over the head-cold pressure I was feeling earlier in the week, and I'm ready to take on life again.  Really ready. :)
