ONEderland!!!!!

YIPPEE!!!!!  I finally made it.  9 days after my mini goal, but I am there!!!!!!  What a week this has been.  Started out each morning in the usual way.  Making good food choices, but by the time dinner rolled around I ate whatever.  I even had apple pie and wine one night.   Well, not that I would encourage that type of eating, maybe it was exactly what I needed.  I was not good about logging all my food.   I got in a few walks, but really was not into my workouts.   This morning I got up and decided to just get on the scale.  My normal weigh day is Wednesday now, but I figured what the heck...

I am so HAPPY I did get on today.  What a ride this has been.  The next mini goal is August 2. 33 days about 5 weeks  I would like to be 100 pounds down.   It is less than 20 pounds and if I can keep up with 2 pounds a week I just may make it.  I have under 20 to go!  So fingers crossed for me!

Day 140

The end of my mini goal that started back in February and I am sad to say I am not at ONEderland.  YET! very close.  My scale was all over the place in the morning.  Why I have to step on it more than 1 time is beyond me.  I am about 2.5pounds from ONderland.   I have to just move on and not stress.

New mini goal....  to be down a total of 100 pounds on my 1 year anniversary of deciding to do this.
I have 6 weeks and about 20 pounds.  It will be tough.  I have not been losing at the 2 pound a week rate I have wanted, but I will do the very best I can to get there.  Over 80 pounds lost is nothing to be upset about!

Fitbit Ultra

I ordered the fitbit for John and I.   It is a fancy pedometer. It calculates steps, distance, calories burned, stairs climbed, and sleep quality. John has a bad habit of losing pedometers, I hope he can keep track of this one. It was expensive.  Tiger got one earlier in the year and loves hers. 

I still have the pedometer I borrowed from Ellen, but I have been looking at this tool since January and decided to just do it.  I will wear both for a few days to check for accuracy.  I am excited because it will sync to my fitness pal.  Now to figure out how :)

  I will keep you posted on what we think of this tool.
