Got my wife to commit to the fitbit challenges.

We both hit 12000 steps and she got there before I did.

Hoping she sticks with it for at least a month to see some results.

So I made it the month of June, 12000 steps and 10 floors even when on vacation.

Weight going down.

Weight: 330.0

This was a good weekend, so I need to recap a bit.

Left Saturday and went up via Highway 2 to first stop off at Leavenworth. Ate some food there and did some shopping. Got to the hotel too late to get dinner, but did get some food from Safeway.

Sunday was our first full day there, kind of did not know what to do, in a small town like Chelan, the places close early. But we did start off the day with a margarita and a daiquiri. Got drunk and after walking town went to take a nap. We got dinner from the Hotel Restaurant, definitely overpaid.

Monday was the best, went hiking, casino (won $300), swimming in the pool, and had a great bar b que dinner from a wine tasting place.

Tuesday we packed up, always sad the day you have to return. Normal route was blocked by something, so took a longer route. Note to future self, if you gonna drink water, make sure you got a place to pee. Ate a huge dinner, and went to casino again, won about $26 better than losing.

With last night’s heavy dinner, I knew I was gonna be heavy. Note though after my workout I was under 330, but below is my morning weight. I did get my fitbit goals in, very close to the end, compressed into 2 hours.

As a final note, during this whole time I did not take ambien, got my fitbit goals in, and did not midnight snack.

Weight: 331.4

Quick post, but returned from Chelan today. Was able to meet my fitbit goals.

Also noted that I did keep my weight under 330

Weight: 329.4

OK just an extended weekend getaway. But going partially offline for a bit.

Already got 6000 steps in, not sure if fitbit will record till I get back online.

I should be able to post, but wanted to get in early.

So rules are thrown out a bit, or put on hold. Late night snacking, ambien, no 10 floors are 12k steps is OK for today, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday.

Will update post if I hit my fitbit goals.

Edit: Made my fitbit goals

Weight: 326.2

Going for a weekend get away tomorrow. Wont see work till Wednesday.

Kind of excited to get out of here and recharge.

The bonus is that after this week, I will have another 3 day weekend.

Full disclosure, tomorrow I will try to get my 12000 steps, but Sun to Tue I am not committed. Furthermore I am allowed to eat bad.

Weight: 327.4

Should procrastinate less then maybe I can make my goals with less pressure at the end of the day.

Still it was hot, the evening was more amicable to running.

Weight: 329.8

Had my monthly PT checkup today. She was impressed with my weight loss.

Officially, on her scale is am under 330.

I had her look up my lowest weight she saw me at, it was 293 lbs. So that is the goal, or at least I will not quit the program till I am under that amount.

So tired though.

Weight: 329.6
