Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 61

 
Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 61
 
 
Today was a tough day.  Not diet wise, just life wise. I stayed up late last night studying for my final exam.  I kept waking up and each time I was reciting answers to questions I had studied, really quite sad that my brain never shuts down.  Too bad my metabolism didn't work that way.
 
I think the exam went well.  It was weird because we got to write it in pairs.  I need to be able to show that I can work well in a team but between you and me I really prefer to do assignments and exams on my own.  My partner was great though.  If I had to work in a team I am glad I got Mike.
 
Not too much to say about the fitness plan to day.  I stuck to plan food wise, I worked out a lot this week.  I feel good about how the week went.  I initially went down 2 lbs but not sure if I still have those numbers.  It would only be fluid retention if I don't.
 
My younger son headed off to North Van Outdoor School tonight for the weekend.  He is learning how to be a councillor for when the elementary school kids attend.  Funny he has been talking about becoming a councillor for years. He was trying on some of his fleece outdoor gear.  His Arcteryx fleece jacket was too small.  I said give it to me in a couple of months it will fit me well.  I got the "sure I will believe it when I see it" look.  I deserve that, I have been trying to lose this weight for years.  I always fail eventually, but not this time.  I looked at my husband and stated... you know this time is different.  I am committed to this program and I will be successful.  He said " I know you are, I can tell."  That felt good.
