Here we are down to the wire – weigh in on Saturday and we must have lost a minimum of 5% to stay in the contest.  I am certainly working very hard this week, as are my fellow contestants.

 

This serves as a very bold reminder – weight loss is a process, a lifestyle change.  Good luck to everyone this week~  

 

Heading into this holiday weekend with plans in place to eat healthy foods.  Wishing everyone the willpower to pass on the treats, we can do this~~

 

What to do first?  Went to the gym bright and early Saturday and had a great workout!  The weather was simply outstanding all weekend and I hope everyone took advantage of it.  Great having the windows and doors open and letting all the fresh air inside.  We are nearing the half-way point of LightenUp 2014 and enjoying the warm weather was certainly a boost to my energy level! 

So, the song I heard last week when driving to the weigh-in was Chicago's Feelin' Stronger Every Day, played on the 70's station.  That is exactly how I feel!!  It looks like Spring may finally be in sight for us and I'm looking forward to long walks in the evening.
