Not quite a week behind getting my challenge up, so that's something.

 

I'm currently focusing on cutting the weight I've gained over the past few years.  My goal is to cut a pound a week until I get back to 150lb, but the timeline is flexible.  I started the year at 185lb and didn't really buckle down until early Feb, but after stalling for a couple weeks I'm only down to 180lb (as of this morning).  Hoping to be a little more consistent going forward, so I can hit my goal by the end of this year.

 

For this challenge, my plan is:

Stay hydrated - something I've been having trouble with as the weather starts warming up again, so I need to pay attention or my workouts are going to suffer.

Limit snacking - I have a tendency to boredom eat, especially before bed.  I'm trying to only snack when I'm legitimately hungry, with the ultimate goal of also making them healthy snacks.

Workout habit - trying to rebuild my old habits, but since it's been a few years, I keep struggling with it.  My current goal is 3x a week with no limit on what counts.  This week I've done the local nature trail twice and spent a night working in the garage, and hopefully will get another home improvement workout this weekend.

Costuming - our next convention will be Dragoncon end of August, so working to get costumes ready.  My current focus is this guy from one of my favorite artists that we meet up with every year:

Heya!  Nice to see you around :) 

Nice to be around :)

 

Belated update: I've been yoyoing around 180lb because hydration is the only goal I'm consistently hitting.

 

Hoping to start working on the costume this week and maybe do a better job sticking to my diet and exercise goals.

Still hanging around 180lb, but I think I'm getting better about my diet.  So we'll see if I can maintain that for the week and break this plateau.

 

Flying out to a friend's wedding this weekend, but luckily, I don't have to eat well as long as I quit snacking constantly.
