221.8 this AM and 219.6 after 'big sweat' yesterday.  Doing 25 pushups each day and seeking to execute with 'perfect form'..... not there yet.  Been eating one meal a day for about the last 3-4 days and seem to be OK with that.  Still need to hydrate more.  About a week to go to get below 220.....I will make it.

222.0 this morning....30 pushups last three days.  Starting to 'see it'..... Not much needed cardio or sweat but am hydrating a bit more....Helene is helping with this.....  Still need to reduce 7 more lbs before departure on 8/5/16 to meet interim goal.

Ureka..... 223.8 this AM!!!  Must do a 'sweat walk' today....missed last two days but have eaten much less.  Last three days have done 25-25-26 push ups....getting more firm 'pecs'.....  New....was 221.6 after my 'sweat walk'... Hip Hip HooRaaaay

225.6 this morning ..... going down.  Too hot to go outside and sweat via exercise plus the Sun's too dangerous!!  Still doing good at 'the table'.  Did 20 push ups today and also going up but my left shoulder (anterior deltoid) aches like hell....partly due to the pushups but mostly due to the downward titration of the 'prednesone' I've been on.  Mayby the exercise will eventually be good....HOPE SO.  Not exactly sure what to do about the aching....heat, cold, pills??????

226.6 this morning.  Going down (slowly).  Still 11 lbs from goal weight prior to 'trip' (Aug 6).   I WILL MAKE IT!!

227.0 this morning.  Keeping down but have slowed decline rate.  Need to do more regular 'sweats' (missed 3 days in a row).  Tried to evaluate my strength and did push-ups ....sadly, was only able to do 15.  I will try to do them daily.
