We had our final challenge this past week at the YMCA. I worried all week about swimming. I tried to swim the first length on my back kicking like crazy.
The FIT Challenge is almost over. I think all of us (the contestants) have come a long way. I hope my healthy eating and exercise will become a way of life for me.
I had Thanksgiving weekend off and always seem to gain weight when that happens. What made it worse was that I got an email from FIT editor Brandi that it was my turn to get weighed this week; I thought it would be Keisa White, another contestant.
I enjoyed my three-day weekend, but it was back to reality this week. I will probably work every day until Thanksgiving. With Christmas coming soon, the extra money will be nice.
I had a good week with my outdoor activities. Rode my bike a lot and got to walk the dog some. It sounds like that will be coming to an end with all cold weather that's coming. I'm glad I got the bulk of my weight loss in already because it's harder for me to exercise inside.
I got my results back from my visit to the doctor. My overall cholesterol is down, but my bad cholesterol is borderline high. How did that happen ? The blood work from my liver test was a little off. I have to retake that in a couple of weeks. I'm trying not to worry about it too much.
