I set up a challenge for the month of June - an attempt to lose 10 pounds. I set up the challenge mostly because I knew my grad school course, on top of full-time work, on top of personal obligations, was going to make it REALLY hard to stick to a healthy eating or exercise plan. And I was right… But having the challenge kept me accountable, gave me something very concrete to shoot for, and offered me some great support from my challenge buddies (yay team!).

So I just weighed in to see what the June outcome was… And I did NOT lose 10 pounds. During June, I lost five pounds - half the goal.

BUT, you know what? That last pound that I’ve lost since Sunday’s weigh-in (actually half-pound, but I only count in “wholes” and round up when I get the .5 on the scale - lol) puts me at 199. Welcome to Onederland!

I’m very glad to be out of the 200s again. This time for good. I promise y’all. More importantly, I promise myself. I feel really motivated about being down into the 100s, even if I’m just barely there. I can’t wait to wrap up tomorrow’s final class (YIPPEE!) and head to the lake for swimming and skiing and Frisbee and all the other exercise that I’ll get there, as well as some relaxing with my boyfriend, his family, and other friends.

I’m feeling good this afternoon, y’all - hope you all are too!
