Total Weight Loss To Date: -5.6

Missed goal but I am not disappointed. Earlier in the week I was 4 lbs heavier due to fluid retention., and almost 2 lbs higher yesterday morning. Am hoping this is new equilibrium point that weight loss can be measured from. Am sticking to eating and exercise plan and trying not to let these fluctuations get to me!

We can do this! Never Look Back, Never Give Up, Can Do!

Well, I didn't meet my goal (it was a strict one) but I won't argue with 8 pounds lost.  I would have done better but I stopped focusing on my diet to help move my sisters to college and then my cat (19.5 years old) had to be taken to the hospital and it looks like he's approaching the end of his time here.  All in all I think I've done fairly well considering....
