Jul 31 - Aug 5

Monday - Corey and the kids are up in Park City this week, I'm coming and going, sleeping at home with Owen and Daniel who are a little sick, plus they sleep better in their beds. So no workout today since I'm here on my own with the kiddies.
Tuesday - nothing. Watched "The Marshall Plan", I like it. Just keeping myself vegan indoctrinated. :)
Wednesday - Mel came home with me tonight cause she has a flute lesson tomorrow afternoon. So after we got home it was still light outside so I took a quick 2 mile run, felt good.
Thursday - With Mel here at home I was able to go on a jog, yay! Over to Sleepy Hollow, it only took me 9 minutes to get there from the church, to get all the way to the bottom to the stream! I think I'll be taking my summer jogs/walks down here a lot now. Mt. Jordan road has been good to me and you were very convenient, but this is prettier.
Friday - nothing. With big kids in Park City and me left here with Owen and Daniel, I've been just been focusing on blogging in my free time.
Saturday - Nothing (actually I can't remember... reporting here a week later...) but looking at the calendar, I know I woke up early to go help the fam in Park City clean up and get ready to come home.  And we had date night today since last night was still Park City, so I'm guessing it was a busy day and I didn't get it in.

Summer Health Challenge -
My summer health challenge is over, and the last weight low that I hit 126.6 (7/27). I haven't been here for a long time. After Hyrum I was able to keep my weight in a 124-127 window. right now I'm in a 128-131 window. The lowest I've ever recorded was in December of 2002 after I was sick for a week, I was 121 which blew my mind.

BUT... According to current standards (according to livestrong), a 5-foot 1-inch woman's ideal weight ranges from 95 to 115 pounds
That means, even though we're two challenges later, I'm still not done yet! And this really will be a challenge cause I'd have to get lower than I've EVER BEEN BEFORE. Lowest recorded in my adult history is 121 one time at the gym, which means I was prob 119 if you take off a pound for clothes and a pound for shoes!

Is it really possible?

Jul 24 - 29

Monday - one hour walk, Corey came with me! <3 I did a dry fast yesterday and a water fast today.
Tuesday - kinda drizzly this morning so I grabbed an umbrella and still went on a one hour walk, also an evening walk with Owen and Daniel for a half hour, plus I mowed the lawn too and broke a good sweat doing that, so 12 pts for exercising today. Water-fast most of the day, then ate dinner with my family, Korean noodles with broccoli and Asian salad
Wednesday - 50 min walk, 10 min stretch, plus 40 min stretch before bed, ate from 8:30 - 1:30 today, doing the Fast 5 thing (first learned about it in this video) for the rest of this week
Thursday - one hour walk/jog, I think it was about 4 miles, I went on a new trail in Dimple Dell that I hadn't been on before, Sleepy Hollow Trail, it was fun to explore! I want to bring the kids to see it, I think they'd love it. Had some ice cream today for Owen's birthday. Then I listened to Dairy Doubts by Michael Klapper, putting all his videos on my to watch list. I'm ready to say goodbye to ice cream. It's been nice knowing ya, kinda.
Friday - Sleepy Hollow in the morning by myself, then again in afternoon with kids, plus a walk around the block with Owen - total 110 minutes
Saturday - Didn't exercise this morning, but did sleepy hollow with Corey and the kids tonight. It was a good workout for me to piggy back Natalie up the hill when we were leaving!

Summer Health Challenge -
Total points for the week: 190 points
Total percentage loss - 5.93%, weight 130 this morning, I'm hoping I was retaining a lot of water or something, kinda unfortunate to happen at the end of the challenge, but that's okay. I didn't feel like fasting yesterday. My weight on Wed was 126.6, which was a new low, then Thurs 127.2, Fri, 128.6, Sat 132.8. Going to take this next week off with tracking points, but still going to eat healthy, not going to worry about fast 5 or not eating after 7. I've given up ice cream though - the last time I ate was on Friday as we finished up Owen's birthday ice cream. I'm glad to move on and I'm not looking back!
