?CONGRATULATIONS ALL AROUND?

Checking in ...

Maintaining below 130 ... had a great month so far for getting 1+ miles of walking in a day.

15-16-17 - I didn't color, treat myself, nor will I get a massage today

B-side self care - Not a lot honestly. Funny when I started working from home about 5 years ago I had planned to get cheap local massages on the regular. Has. not. happened. once.

August 17th

August challenge goal 5 pounds (maintaining my bounce weight)

Starting weight 140 BMI 23

Today’s weight 137 BMI 22.8

Happy Saturday. Finished an hour and a half run. No time for a massage. @Cheeseburgh Thanks for the snacking tip. Still a bit cranky detoxing. I have new motivation to get the weight down. Going to a family wedding in Sept then a vacation with my hubby.

What kinds of foods/things are you detoxing from?

Sugar and salt feel like the worst....

This summer I've been surrounded by naughty food. [emoji12] I'm detoxing off sugar, wine and extra carbs. I should feel better by next week.

A real bike! It’s a 7 speed cruiser bike. It is being delivered tomorrow.

I have an elliptical and a recumbent exercise bike at home. I still prefer the gym because I work harder there.

Here is a picture of it.

B side: I practice self care just about everyday.

Meh. Mostly good I think

Yesterday was emotional bc my daughter had her white coat ceremony.
I made sure to dress in an outfit that made me feel FABULOUS (and I looked pretty good), except my hair.
My hair is thinning so badly that I’m having difficulty getting excited about my outfits and my body.
Need to get over that.
Also, I allowed my daughter to sweet-talk me into taking her to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant (I had originally had plans to go to Pilates after the ceremony).
In short, I had a margarita AND nachos instead of exercising so there was soooo much guilt.
But OTOH, the day was super special for my daughter so I was sacrificing for her.
Was able to get right back on track today though so I’m feeling way better about the weekend than I did at this point yesterday.

Here is a pic of us and yes..... I’m super proud,proud mom right now.
