Need to Find that 'umph' for Triwizard Training

Good evening witches, wizards, and muggles! I hope you are all doing fantastic. Sorry for the delay in the post. Also, just a heads upI won't be posting for about a week and a half. I am going on a trip to Boston with my sisters! Yay! I'll tell you all about it in my next post! :) Alrighty, so as promised I took progress pictures, but only got my weight measurement...not the greatest, and it probably won't be great while I'm on vacation, but we shall see.

                    

Photos taken Sunday, September 9, 2018 weighing in at 129.5 lbs. I tried to hide my face because I woke up late to meet my family for breakfast (that's why I don't have the other measurements). I seem to be on an upward trend. I really need to buckle down. I have been way less stringent with my food intake (amount and type). Starting next week, I'll hunker down and really focus. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy my vacation and not stress too much. I really do want to reach my goals and maintain closer to 125 lbs with my weight (even though I'm learning weight isn't the most important). I promise I have not lost sight of my goals, but I do not have a timeline. I'll get there when I get there, and I want to do it in a way where I will sustain it.  Anyways, my week in review for exercise!
