Happy New Year everybody!!!!
Thanks Debbie for giving us a 60 day challenge. I wasn't on course as much as I would hope and I was really challenged mentally when I was being good yet the weight was piling on. I had totally forgotten - during our California drought - that my fibromyalgia causes me to pack on water weight when the barometer goes down before storms. Why this is I have no idea - but we have more than a week without rain and low and behold that weight just dropped off steadily day by day.
I ended up loosing 8.4 pounds during this challenge - I was completely blindsided by that- and I have to say excited as all get out in the long run! I have to go back and see what my challenge goals were. I always go optimistic thinking when all things are perfect I can loose 2 pounds a week but realistically it's about 1 a week, when I am not doing major aerobics. I made that just and it feels good.
Lots of folks lost lots of weight during this and it was great to have a really committed group again. Honestly, I don't think I have ever come out of the Holidays without extra pounds! So it's the challenge and I really thank you for it! Oh and my Cousin - great cook that he is made a great couple of vegan dinners for me for Holiday days with family. Some oil but wow - how nice of him to do that
It looks like rain again on the ten day forecast next Thursday,
wouldn't you know just in time for our next weigh in and the first of 2015.
Best wishes to you all for the next best year of your lives - Michelle
