• Notes and findings: 
  • I have two weeks left (I added a week so that there are 5 full weeks between taking mid-program and final measurements) – I think I’ll hit my goal, but you never know what can happen.  Hell, I just ate a cupcake (it was GOOD).  I will do double-workouts (40 minutes twice a day) for 2-3 days of this week to make sure I’ve got a jump start on those final two pounds
  • I’m starting to really think about my final weight and body fat goals – and those will take me beyond these 10+2 weeks.  I am thinking 135 pounds and 21.6% body fat would be good goals, but I’m just not sure.  What I do think I’ll do, though, is set a mini-goal for the timeframe between Thanksgiving and New Years (probably 3-4 pounds over those 4-5 weeks) to keep me focused (3 pounds would get me under 140 if I hit my 143 pound goal this week)
  • Not a good week to wrap up a challenge given that I had a birthday dinner and TWO date nights – all in a row.  It’s going to be hard to hit 144 NEXT week.
  • Great week in regards to exercise, terrible week in regards to eating.  Ugh.  I am up 1.4 pounds.  I won’t hit my 143 pound goal, but I’m OK with that because the three nights out were necessary.
