Successes/struggles this week: Job hunting has made this challenging, but nonetheless I have begun to re-persevere in being committed to my diet and exercise routine. Sticking to the exercise has been the hardest part really! Am definitely pleased to see that the new pilates routine I've been doing has done a lot to start giving my waist definition though. Hooray!

MONTHLY THEME: Consolidation - After 84 days of hard core dedication to calorie restriction and exercise militancy I'm giving myself a plateau month before my body does it for me. A gentle easier month with only a small loss as the goal but continuing on with my positive attitude towards this journey.

Start Weight (1st April): 220.4
Goal Weight (1st May): 215.0

1st April: 220.4
8th April: 218.2

1st May:

Weight lost/gained this week: 1.3 loss
Weight lost/gained this month: 3.5

Successes/struggles this week 2: Still feeling similar to last week. I'm having great days in my weeks but also crappy terrible hard days (like today) I'm really struggling to stay within my calorie allocation for the day. I have really slipped on eating well instead I'm eating crappy food but little bits so this may account for my general feelings of BLAH.. Improvements need here, Back to salads and healthy choices and we may see improvements in how I feel overall. Still a loss so glad about that. Though If I eat like I have since I got on the scales I'm thinking I'll see that trend reverse. I need a bit of a push.. Someone to light a fire cracker under my (still far too large) butt.

Successes/struggles this week 1: Everything is a struggle. Everything.. I'm tired and headachey and over all that is ***** in my life and I just want off the merry-go-round. Seriously. I wish I knew what triggers these bouts of feeling so crappy. I physically feel crappy, like I'm getting sick but never quite am. When I feel good I feel great but when I feel bad I feel soooo bad. I'm tired of the struggle. I'm just tired full stop.

I am hoping that this will be the month I make it under 200 (if I do not I won't feel like I failed as every loss is a win to me) but if I do you will hear me screaming from wherever you are :-)

Successes/struggles this week: Lady time makes me eat like crazy, but luckily I've been making some good choices (I am ignoring the Snickers Ice Cream Bar I had). I've also had some health issues that I'm dealing with so I haven't been able to ge to the gym like I would like to because I feel like I'm always at some Doctors Office. The weather has been better up here in Maine, though, so I have been walking a lot more outside when I can and taking lots of extra trips around work to get those steps in!
