Too High? Too Low!

Weigh In: 326
Calorie Count: 1453

I was surprised that I only had 1453 calories today. I wasn't hungry and I didn't feel like I under-ate, it just seemed like I'd be higher. I think I want to stay a bit higher than that (of course), but after the last two days of me being a little on the high side of the calories and seeing one pound increases on the weight in, I don't mind going a bit low.

Also, over on CC.com I have signed up for a few new contest/challenges. No prizes, just bragging rights. I like it a lot - it keeps your mind in the game with realistic goals.

I committed to doing 2000 minutes of working out this month, which averages out to 64 minutes a day, 7 days a week. That counts anything athletic that I do - so volleyball counts. Since I do about 60 each day, probably closer to 70.. it's a stretch, but a great goal to have.

The second challenge is a weight loss challenge. I've set my March weight loss at 12 pounds. The significance of this goal? Since I fell short on my "Weigh 300 by March 31" goal, I've readjusted. If I can lose 12 pounds this month, that will put me at 313 at the end of the month - a number that would be the lowest weight that I can remember. My lowest weight in memory was about 4 years ago when I was on the Adkins diet - I dropped down to 314.. got content, and put it all back on.

This time, it's going to stay down. You'll notice on the top of the page that there are some new Tickers.. three total. For March - that's my focus. 313 by March 31, and that gives me a 13 pound race to 300 by my 2nd Wedding Anniversary on April 30th.

Tall task?

The best kind.
