Week 4 Day 3 Move: Walked and jogged 3.13 miles Water: 64 oz Eating late: Snacked Week 4 Day 4 Move: Rode my bike trainer for 30 minutes (about 5 miles, I think) Water: 64 oz Eating late: No Weigh in day: 280.6 - which is officially the least I have weighed since July 2013. Feels pretty dang good.

The goal is to reduce calorie intake - especially late. I'm a night owl, so there's often a significant time difference between dinner and when I call it a night. I've noticed that I don't think about being hungry (or bored, TBH) when I am focused on something late. It's when I'm multitasking or goofing around at night that I catch myself thinking about finding something to eat. So part of the process is to find things that are engaging enough to keep my mind off of food.

Trying to get my act together for Weeks 4 and 5. Been consistent with moving, but hit and miss with water and eating late. Couple of milestones: Passed the 800 mile mark at the end of month 5, so well on pace to break 1500. I think of weight loss in terms of 5 lb segments left behind. I think I can safely say 285 is in the past and I'm coming up (down?) on 280. Week 4 Day 1 Move: Walked and jogged 2.76 miles Water: 64 oz Eating late: Snacked Week 4 Day 2 Move: Rode my bike trainer for 20 minutes (about 3.5 miles) Water: 64 oz Eating late: No

Thanks! The work is happening, I've just been lazy about posting.

Updates Day 1 Water - 64 oz 8PM - Snacked late Move - Walked 3.28 miles Day 2 Water - 64 oz 8 PM - Yes Move - Walked 1.60 miles Day 3 Water 70 oz 8 PM - Yes Move - Walked 1.58 miles

I'm here, I'm here. Don't start without me. After taking the last couple of challenges off (because I was lazy about posting, not because I wasn't trying to stay with it), I've missed the accountability and camaraderie found here. I've continued to effort toward my "big 3" and am still seeing a (painfully) slow, steady decline in weight. This challenge is (mostly) about a reset to making the big 3 habit, rather than effort. 64 oz of water a day Nothing to eat after 8 PM Intentionally moving at least a mile every day

Quick rundown of the year that was 2019: Down 22 lbs since late April Covered 1617 miles (riding, walking, kayaking, hiking, and running) Currently on a streak of 233 consecutive days of moving at least a mile Long ride of over 21 miles Fitness level is markedly better Strength is improving Still lots to work on, but progress feels good.
