Fit at Fifty Week Eight

Sharing is caring!

I cannot believe it has been eight weeks since I started this journey.  I am happy to report that I lost a pound this last week – YAY!  After being deflated the week before I was happy about this accomplishment.  I had a feeling the first 5 pounds would take a bit, and I kind of feel like I am over the hump.  Only 15 more to go until February 20, 2017. Let’s see how Fit at Fifty Week Eight went ….

I did much better this past week, being home makes it easier.  While I got a lot of moving in I did not quite get to the menu planning I had hoped to do.  We both came home with colds and felt pretty exhausted all week, which meant I really didn’t want to cook much.  As well, I am doing a typhoid vaccine and it is kind of making my stomach do flip-flops.
