30 Day Challenge Complete!!

 Here's what the past 3 days have been like here in Denver. Yes, REALLY:


Sunday was 87 and we were roasting. Monday was 30's and windy as all hell. Today it snowed like crazy... and tomorrow will be high 60's again. What the WHAT?

Well here it is, day 30. I can't believe it! It has actually gone by really fast. I've accomplished a lot and I have no desire at all to stop anything I'm doing. Eating right, tracking all my food, exercising... it's all feeling just awesome right now. So I am renewing the 30 day challenge and making it a 60 day challenge :) I may not still blog EVERY day (I got pretty close to every day) but blogging is part of my challenge along with tracking my food and exercising, so I will definitely be around.

Weigh in this morning was 208. A loss of .6 this week. I think it slowed a little due to upping calories but I don't care at all. My food choices and exercise are feeling great and I'm building so much muscle. I know all I need is a little patience and those numbers will start rolling again. I've lost 8 full pounds during my 30 day challenge which I think is amazing given how far out I am from surgery and that I am at a lighter weight now. I feel very accomplished!! Still 10 more to go to get back to my lowest weight of 198. Would like to achieve that by my birthday in 5 weeks, but it could take more like 2 months, we shall see.

Yesterday I finally got to see my macronutrient pie graph as close to perfect as it has ever been:

Pretty darn close!!

Tonight I had a yummy BISON meatloaf dinner at Ted's Montana Grill:


FYI, I ate one piece of meatloaf and 1/2 the potatoes, a little bit of green bean. Brought the rest home for tomorrow.

I spent the day with my father in law today. I am thoroughly saddened as his condition worsens. We are all preparing ourselves... we think the end is very near, maybe a week or two. Please, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as well as my husband and the whole family for what they are going through. Today was such a tough day. I really need to go to bed and wake up to a new day.
