The first 60 pounds were a breeze. I won $500 in a six-month challenge at work and have been able to buy the basics of a new wardrobe. Woo Hoo!

Now that I have exited the obese category a lost pound is much harder to come by. Barely made the first goal for Transformer and after an incredible carefree vacation (Dunkin Donuts, bacon, Growlers filled with heavenly craft beer, Irish Cream coffees, bacon and a night of pizza) this round I am two pounds heavier than last.

Twelve (12) pounds to lose for third weigh-in!! (:0o

What now?

  1. Keep eating smart and within prescribed calories
  2. Stick with September’s 30 Day Running Challenge-Ran a 12:32:59 mile for time today (non-runner)
  3. Activate two (2) month Groupon at Trans4mations Gym, attend morning class twice a week minimum
  4. Resume Sunday morning six (6) mile elevation hikes at Friedrich Wilderness Park---work up to a third short lap for October
  5. Continue daily work-out & step goal:10000+

Non-scale Victories

  1. A1C at 5.2
  2. Blood pressure 120/70
  3. BMI 28%
  4. I can see a vein in my arm—never have seen this before

Wishing everyone success on this journey. Congrats to the Second Weigh-In Winners!!
