March Challenge

[KayB]

What is a March challenge?

It's an opportunity to jumpstart your program by logging in daily, or even weekly, and recording your progress.

You can focus on calories, protein, water, movement...whatever you like. You do not need to set up your posts the way I do.

Won't you join the March challenge?

Day 1

I didn't track today either because my day was so hectic, daughter's boyfriend's dad passed away so I was doing some things help them out with food etc. So I am starting tomorrow too.

I am sorry for the loss. That's kind of you to help provide food.

Day 1
I am not tracking anything currently. (Yes, I know practice what I preach right? lol) But, with hubby on the liquid diet for the next 4 weeks, I am mostly making and eating soups.
I have started going back to the gym and hope to get some actual exercise at least 4 days a week. So, I will update on that as it happens.

I'm not going to continue with the challenge because I am working on some personal issues I've been struggling with. Making those issues my top priority, one of which was to start walking again... I did that today because the weather was so cooperative!

Anyway, I want to see if my focus is on problem areas that it might help me better overall than just tracking calories, protein, etc. Remember I am well over a year out so needs change and I need to tailor those needs best for me.

Judy, I completely understand. I wish you all the best in dealing with those issues. Life is hard at times, isn't it?

I gave up tracking today. My friend gave me a box of cookies/brownies from a local bakery. I lost all self control and ate the whole thing. At least it was a small box.

I'll do better tomorrow.

Way to go on your weight loss Kay. Taking it off slowly doesn't change the fact that you still are a "loser" extraordinaire!!!
