Healthy You Challenge Update - 02/04/08

Wow, these Tuesdays do roll around quickly, don't they? So, let's see how it went:
1) Big NSV in getting rid of my too-big clothes. In fact, I'm claiming it as a victory on two fronts: weight loss and clutterbugishness.
2) Great workouts, but a little bit of slugginess on the cardio. I'm taking an off-exercise day today, which I'm hoping is the response my body is looking for. I'll use the workout time to declutter...something. *sigh* So many opportunities, so little time....
3) Despite a splurge meal with my family on Saturday, the scale budged a little! I'm at -68.4 pounds, which I consider amazing given the number of carbs consumed at said family meal. I'm going to push hard for -70 next week! Oh, the drama, the excitement....

I'm looking forward to using some of my off-day time to check on your progress. I hope you had a great week and that this one is shaping up nicely, too!

Even if you did splurge, -68.4 pounds is awesome. Good luck getting to -70. You can do it!

Hi, I just linked here from the Healthy You Challenge. Wow! Congratulations on your weight loss! Your philosophy of 'tippy toeing' your way to weight loss is the sanest way and probably the way that leads to lasting success.
I will be visiting often.

Thank you for your kind words to me on the death of my grandmother.

Well done on your loss! You are probably wise to take a rest day if you're feeling exhausted.

Keep up the good work!

Love the title of your blog. You can bet that this time I'll be taking a picture of myself in that dress. Summer is just around the corner and my goal is within reach.

(I lost 70 lbs with WW 7 years ago--it feels awesome!)
