Progress Report

Today is day 68 of my tracking challenge, weight loss journey, and this blog.

Since this blog was created to document my progress, if any, that's what I'm going to do now.

As of nine weeks of counting my calories, I do feel a difference in my body. My clothes are fitting better-not lose yet-but definitely not tight. I noticed I actually that I have a waist-Yee-Pee!!! :D

Physically, although I still battle with stiffness, discomfort and pain from my back and sciatica, the latter has moved position. I don't know if that's good or bad, but also, the right side that used to grind in my back whenever I reached for something or twisted with movement, is not there anymore, that's a positive:)

I don't know how many pounds I've lost, but I know that I've lost some. I hope to weigh myself at the end of the 100 days. My last weigh in was in April, and the results were that I had 21 lbs. to lose. I've always been an extremely slow loser, which is why I decided to stop weighing myself, but in order to document progress, I will weigh myself at the end of this challenge, and with phase 2, the next 100, I might weigh-in after 50 days. It really depends on how my body feels and how well I've stuck to my program. Only time will tell.

As for today, I "will" do my upper body workout, I doubt that I will go outside to walk, since it's 6:35 a.m. and already 80 degrees.

My To Do list...

Wash a few loads of clothes
Clean up
Cook
Workout
Read my book

I will post my total later on.
