Happy Summer Solstice!

Well, today is the end of my 40 day challenge. I hopped on the scale this morning and I was the same weight as my weigh in last Saturday. Given that I flew cross-country day before yesterday, I’m not really surprised as I generally also retain water and feel bloated whenever I fly.
So, this brings an end to my Sunsplash challenge. I didn’t lose the amount of weight I would’ve liked, but hey, at least I DID lose weight. This is a big change for me from the last several months as I’ve been dealing with all of my health issues.
I have started another challenge for myself along with a group of other buddies on the weight loss message board. This challenge will run through Labor Day and I have set a goal for myself to lose 10 pounds. That will be an average of 1 pound per week, so please cross your fingers (and anything else you please) for me.
