The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good: I hiked 20 miles over 3 days in the Smoky Mountains! My favorite hike was to the Jump-Off, which is a 6.5 mile hike in which one gains over 1000 feet of elevation to arrive at a gorgeous, sheer cliff. It was amazing, and I feel a lot more fit.
The bad: I more than compensated for my increased activity level. I am talking fudge, chocolate, creme brulee, shrimp scampi with garlic toast, etc. It was delicious, but sinful...which brings us to...
The ugly: I am over 10 lbs. off my lowest weight. I have earned every pound, but now it is time to turn this train around and go in the right direction. I think a lot of the weight is water retention (I'd just had 2 venti sized Starbucks drinks, which didn't help!). Nevertheless, I am really getting tired of my lack of willpower as of late. I hope to post better news next week!
Keep on thinking thin...and send some skinny vibes my way. I could really use them right now!

Welcome Home!
You're back...I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm having the same problem - I can't get out of the 2-teens - and a trip to Italy isn't going to help my cause, that's for sure.
I am quite sure most of it is water retention from the outside food that you ate - I will bet 5-7 lbs will be gone tomorrow. I am sending major skinny vibes your way.
I'll be back on the 2nd, so hope you have a great Labor Day!!

OK, maybe those will help you. Sent for support. I will admit that I am a little envious of your hike in the mountains. That would be a dream come true for me. Keep up the great job you are doing. Chargail

hiking!
Hey there!
I love hiking. Where did you go? We are always looking for vacation/hiking spots!
I am so close to my goal and working out more than I have the entire time, but like you, I am indulging in those little treats that add up. I keep refeuling my motivation and remember WHY I am really doing this. I am saying YES to my health and well-being, not NO to the food. Make sense!
Sending the positive vibes!
