I’m not giving up, but the chances of me hitting my goal for this bet are slim (ha) to none. I’m still up a few lbs from my initial weigh in, and that’s frustrating. But what I’m (re)learning is that this whole losing weight thing takes real effort (duh, I know). And I’ve been reminded of how much better I feel when I’m making that effort (see my sweaty selfie photo from 2019, the healthiest I’ve ever been).

I’ve got meal kits set to be delivered again this week, I’m already mentally preparing my lunches, and I found a new workout I want to try. I’m also ordering a new band for my Garmin because the old one was irritating my skin.

It’s time to turn this around!

Happy Monday! Welcome to week 3!

I cut a few hundred calories from a favorite takeout meal today by making a few small swaps. Totally satiated and so delicious!
12 piece grilled nugget meal —> 8 piece
Large fry —> medium fry
Chick-fil-a sauce —> ketchup
Diet Coke (always)

The scale is up 2 lbs from my starting weigh in. Working on a meal and movement plan for this week to reverse course. Cheers to a new week ☕

I didn’t weigh in today, but I’ve made better food choices, been chugging water, and spent the past hour chasing my kiddo around the driveway on his bike. Feeling good, which is what it’s all about!

Happy Monday!
