30 Counties Gaining (and Losing) the Most Weight

30 Counties Gaining (and Losing) the Most Weight

What up Northern Virginia!!! 4 out of the top 5 counties that are losing the most weight over the last decade are in Northern Virginia!

I obviously think income is a key factor, especially here. We also have wonderful national and state parks/trails/etc. The DC Metro is full of people who aren’t here to play. They push themselves at work and it makes sense they are more active too – plus we need to blow off the steam from work! Unrelated, but related The DC area is also one of the top cities for dog owners. We love the stress relief and activity dogs bring!

I rolled over 4 points yesterday! It’s crazy how with all the 0 point food changes that I can practically go all day without dipping into my points. I’m always going to use Fat Free/Low Fat half and half in my coffee, but now my egg cup breakfast is 0, my greek yogurt and fruit snack is 0 and then lunch can be pretty low point too. In fact my chili I’ve had this week is 0 points. 

The way I see it the 4 points I rolled over are another beer I can drink this weekend! But honestly I like the idea of having a low point day and then have more flexibility to eat points at dinner as opposed to the opposite approach I used to take. 

trackety, track, track!

Pre 3 Day Refresh: 196.5

Post 3 Day Refresh: 191.5

Today: 194.5

Totally fine with this number. Post-cleanse also kicked me into some minor period spotting (TMI), my body is very sensitive to the change in diet sometimes causes spotting which in turn means carrying some water weight.  Plus my bowels are still catching up haha. 

Diet Bet weight goal is to lost ~7.8 lbs this month. I am confident!

I joined a DietBet. I still need to read all the rules and whatnot (4% of weight by Jan 31), but I saw @chiconthecheap post about it on another social platform and it was just the push I needed. To quote @94monkeys I have no shame in my “January Joiner” game! I started blogging in January 2010 and have recommitted to fitness and well-being every year since. 

Kicking things off with a reset! Also with being off this week I’m trying to maximize getting to the gym. I just need life to stop with the curveballs so I can stay in track. If only it was that was possible!

I may have setbacks, but I’m proud that no matter how many times I fall on the journey I’ve always picked myself back up!
