    Loss/gain for the month so far: -4

    Struggles or successes of your week: I have a friend visiting from Cambs and its hard going out to eat/drink and try to choose the most healthy meals or restraint and only have one beer when everybody else is having multiple drinks and eating pizzas, hamburgers, pasta and stuff like that.
    On the bright side, I started running on Tues-Thurs-Sat. In the past, before I fell off the wagon, I used to run and I loved it. So I'm hoping to run long distances again, eventually.
    I also kept doing bodyweight exercises on Mon-Wed-Fri and its paying off, I think I have more strength now compared to a couple weeks ago when I started.

    Loss/gain for the week: None! I've been barely moving and it's super discouraging. My weight loss has been reduced to a crawl
    Loss/gain for the month so far: I've floated between 132-130 for quite a while so I don't feel very encouraged.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I'm upping my protein and slashing my carbs. I'm going out with friends tonight and have budgeted to have some yummy treats but I'm wrestling with the guilt; I feel like I'm just hindering myself. I know it's ok to have a treat every now and then but I really want to get to my goal.
