Struggles or successes of the week:
Motivate by the overwhelming feeling of being stiff & sluggish, and having lots of aches (inflammation) from all the carbs I ate last weekend. Ugh. This morning, I played racquetball and got back on my regiment of low carb/high protein foods.

why not, xmas is always a difficult time to keep to a healthy eating plan...I have been doing well for almost two months now but I know that xmas day and boxing day will be not the best in my house as I am cooking a big xmas turkey dinner and having some of our friends over....but I plan on being a good boy outside of those two days so hopefully this can help keep me accountable

Struggles or successes of the week: I am struggling with getting back on track and staying away from the sugar. My goal this week is to curb the sugar addiction and to begin my walking again. Still plan to attend water aerobics at least twice this week but I also want to walk during the day at least twice also. On the days I don't do water aerobics I want to walk on my treadmill in the evening for at least 30 minutes. Goal is 5 workouts this week.
