It’s Going Well

It’s December 1st and I’m feeling so good today! I am working on my Holiday Challenge which has been going really well. 

If you saw my week one update, you might be wondering how it’s going well since I was up a pound during the update, and my goal is to maintain and/or lose 5 pounds during this challenge. I guess it all comes down to how you define things “going well”!

I’m defining things as “going well” in a few different ways. First of all, I feel really good physically. I’m getting in more activity than I normally would this time of year because it’s part of my challenge, and it’s helping me break out of the seasonal funk that comes with less sunlight and less activity during the winter months.

I’d also say it’s going well because the day after Thanksgiving I was up 3 lbs but by the time I did my update, I was only up 1 lbs and today, I’m back to 229 lbs, and so I’m officially maintaining my weight which is my first weight-loss goal of the challenge!

Also, can we talk about how much better you feel when you’re hydrated?! Yes! Drinking more water as part of this challenge has been helping me so much!

I am encouraged that I feel good on this Monday morning, and I hope you are feeling good too!
