I don’t know how exactly, but my tracking of Health Group weeks was off by about a month, so I’m just calling today Year 5, week 4 to get back on schedule.

Year 5. Wow. I clicked on my original Health Group post to see what the date was. I didn’t read the whole post, but I saw my weigh in numbers at the bottom, and here I am, 5 years later, within a couple pounds of the same. What a roller coaster it’s been. Dealing with car accident injuries. Great weeks. Poor weeks. Bad years (Pregnancy. Baby.), but still trying.

This is when I tell myself that if I hadn’t been trying at all, I’d be 600 pounds, so I’ve accomplished something. I’m healthier than I would be.

Anyway, to those of you who have been around here for years and years, I thank you. It’s been enjoyable. I’ve learned from all of you.

I’m starting out our Year 5 (week 4) with a great week! I’m so excited. I’m happy with how I did at the barbeque last night. I’m sure I went over, but not much. I went a little over today, but I burned it off in exercise.

I’ve upped my exercise target from 150 minutes per week to 300. (I’ve exercised 395 minutes so far this week). Calorie King has downed my daily calorie target from 1670 (plus whatever I lose exercising) to 1552 (plus whatever I lose exercising). They haven’t told me why. I’ll go along with it and see what happens.

Pop in and say “hi!”
