    Weight lost/gained this week: 0.6 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 1.2 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: I feel like I should be doing better than this... My biggest struggle this week is not loving myself. I practice mindfulness and present awareness, and my body image/self-esteem is just extra low this week. A bunch of things are resurfacing/triggers etc... and I'm trying to deal with them - plus there is something wrong with my lymphatic system and I'm doing everything I can to try and fix it. detox tea, "Sweeping/brushing", lots of water, trying to cut back on diet soda - thats the worst and of course proper diet.

    1st November:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -1.6
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.9

    Successes/struggles this week: I actually lost over 10 pounds during the month of September, so October is showing a slower weight loss which is not unexpected. This AM I was 181.5. My short term goal was to get to below 180 by Halloween. Since I'm getting so close to this goal, I'll probably weigh myself every AM until I see 179.9 on that darn scale. lol
    Doing great with staying within 1200-1400 calories a day this week. Still do not drink enough water though. Unless it's really hot outside and the water is really cold, I just don't drink it. So I'm trying to add stuff to the water (Wylers Light grape is the favorite this week) to get that water into me.

    Successes/struggles this week:

    I still lost weight, but it isn't coming off at the speed I hoped. Felt a lot of stress this week and caught myself wanting to smother the uncomfortable feelings with carbs. I didn't go overboard, but I snuck in a little popcorn. I also made the kids walk the dog, so I didn't meet my step goals most of the week. Looking at a gym membership so I can burn more calories and build some muscle. I have a terribly saggy booty these days! Good luck everyone! Hang in there. We are halfway through the challenge.

    Successes/struggles this week: I've been walking on the treadmill every other night and watching my calorie intake. At the beginning of the month, I switched my loss per week goal to 1.5lb instead of 2 and while I'm only losing 1 per week, I feel much better. I'm happy to see any loss right now.

    Weight lost/gained this week: -4 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month:-1lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: I started the week off well! Went cycling Monday! Watched my calorie intake all week. I cut out bad fast food, but I still had coffee in the mornings.

    Things went for the worse Monday evening. I started to feel that I was getting sick. My aunt from Toronto was sick, she was visiting, my one friend is sick, my dad, and go workers at work are sick.

    So now I have minor cold symptoms but a bad sore throat. So this morning I will probably go to the doctor to get it looked at.

    Plan for this week:
    - Increase sleep each evening to 8 hours or close to it
    - Water intake to 8 cups or more
    - Watch calorie intake
    - Go to gym starting Wednesday depending on how I feel.
