I am still not tracking my food so I also don't know if I'm staying in my points allowance. Okay, I admit it, I'm resistant. I will plumb the depths of that resistance a bit later and see what's driving it. Similarly, since I'm not tracking, I'm missing out on the opportunity to see what is behind the eating choices I'm making. Okay, I've convinced myself. I will track today!
I do have perfect attendance at Weight Watcher's so far, and it is paying off, in spite of my lack of attention to tracking. So far, I've lost 4.8# of my 50 lb. goal for this year. 49 weeks and 45.2# to go.
As far as my exercise goals, I'm getting in my 60K steps and then some; now I need to focus on my minimum 1 hour of strength training and working up to 30/min a day of structured exercise. I got 20 minutes of Dance Party yesterday. I will get 30 minutes of structured exercise today. My fitbit week starts on Sunday, so that exercise will be strength training plus about 8000 steps to get in today. I found some great leg presses without machines I will try. (Here's another. And one more.)
My glaring "miss" so far is I still have not gotten my official support partner on board. It's because there's been an awkward silence between us for some time so I need to break that silence. I will do so with an email today. I know that if I had more accountability, I would be hitting more of my goals!
I'm working on my first every self-made workout playlist. The last thing I had that was even close -- try not to laugh -- was a mix tape I made in the early 90's and played on my Walkman! Oh I am so old! I think getting my playlist will help me get those weekend steps in.
How is YOUR year going? Are you meeting your goals? What do you think is helping you succeed or getting in your way?

You are doing great. My husband resisted tracking for the longest time (he went to his WW meetings with me, but just didn't like to track). He did lose a lot but hit a huge plateau. He finally started tracking and was at goal within a month....
Those leg press exercises are great. I can't do a lot of leg exercises like squats or lunges but can do leg presses. Nice to have options to do at home.
