Successes/struggles this week: both my kids work at Papa John's pizza. Tonight I cheated and ate a slice my son brought home. I have been good for 56 days but I really wanted it. I worked out after and I logged it in my diary.
We all have these lapses. Don't stress over it. You log it and move on to a new day.0 -

Weight lost/gained this week: -5 lbs
Successes/struggles this week: Was able to wear a pair of pants I couldn't fit a couple of weeks ago and had room to spare! Also, noticed my stamina has increased. Got through more than 30 minutes of cardio without stopping or feeling like I was going to pass out. I am however struggling today with my motivation. I found myself contemplating giving up on this journey. I decided to take a body shot so that I would have some point of comparison for the future. Seeing that picture really depressed me. I knew I was out of shape but I didn't realize it was this bad. It just makes my goals seem that much more unattainable.
15th May: 271
Weight lost/gained this week: -2 lbs
Successes/struggles this week: I don't feel like I've had much success this week but I did notice a non-scale victory. My bath towel now fits around my body without any gaps. I struggled this week with motivation to get into the gym. I had great success last week when I was working out twice a day but I just couldn't find it in myself to do more than once a day this week. I feel like my rest day threw me off.
