Struggling with my love of sodium! My daughter chose a chinese buffet saturday and I avoided fried foods and "bad carbs" but we all know how much sodium there is. A lot of stress this week with 3 cumulative exams for nursing school. All in all, I think I've done really well so far. I have a feeling each week of December will get more difficult with all the treats that come along with it! Good luck everyone!0 -
starting weight (august): 204ish

Although I am close to my goal for the month at this point, I know the holiday challenges are looming ahead of me, so if I just lose the pound for the month I will be happy. Four events this week to challenge me.

Struggles or successes of the week:
Last week was successful. I followed my work out schedule exactly. I had a few days in which I went over calories, but not by much. I didn't track my food this weekend, but I also didn't go crazy eating and drinking beer with football. I lost my Thanksgiving weight! I weigh one pound less than the day before Thanksgiving.

Struggles or successes of the week: My husband continuously wants to stop and eat dinner on the way home from work (we work together) and he usually wants Mexican food...which I love. I hope I made a statement this week when I sat across from him, drinking my iced tea with lemon ... and watched him eat. Also, he constantly goes to the grocery store and fills our fridge and pantry with bad foods. He also sits next to me on the couch and eats ice cream every night. --- but then when I go to eat something I shouldn't he "supports" me by reminding me I shouldn't be having that. So, yeah, my struggle is and will always be lack of support at home. You guys are it!0 -

Struggles or success of the week: I logged in under my caloric goal each day, even if only by a few. Not too many struggles. It's interesting at my house, because I'm eating at a deficit to lose weight, and my husband is racking to gain/train for his marathon. We're both tracking, which makes it easier for me to continue to log; he's just running on 3,000-4,000 calories a day, depending on his running schedule, while I'm at half that!0
