Already 16 ounces of water down today. Trying to get closer to my recommend amount of water today. I've also starting eating within 30 minutes of waking up. Not sure if it is helping yet or not. It doesn't seem like it. Little steps, they told me. Little steps will keep the momentum in the right direction. Here's hoping they are right.

Here we are almost to the end of the contest. I haven't been doing that well except for the first couple of months. I haven't slipped back into my habit of mindless eating of unhealthy snacks, but also haven't been doing as well with the healthy eating and exercise as I should be. Here's one thing I've learned throughout this. If you are on this journey, and find yourself needing support, there is always someone out there willing to at least try to prop you up and get you moving in the right direction again. They'll give you new ideas of simple things to try and words of encouragement. I am glad that I stuck with this the entire 6 months even though I've been gaining and losing the last pound for the last 4 of them. Normally I would just decide it was too hard and I would quit. This time, it is important to me to at least finish this contest even if the result wasn't as spectacular as it could have been. Thank you to everyone who has offered encouragement along the way. I'm very grateful, even if the scale won't show it come Saturday.
