Successes/Struggles: It was a good week physically, but emotionally I struggled a lot with those voices in my head telling me I'm not doing enough and I'll never be able to do this so why bother. I held on and logged everything. I've also noticed that my energy level is up a bit this week. I'm doing more around the apartment and just walking more in general.0 -

Successes/Struggles: I missed 2 workouts last week and I'm still working on logging my food more consistently. I also went over my carb goals on Friday and Saturday. On a positive note, I really notice a difference in the way my clothes feel and I am up from 30 seconds to 1 minute in holding a plank. I'm looking forward to the week ahead.

Struggles or successes of your week: My No sweets went ok. I ended up having some of the chocolate with the wrap lunch on Friday.

Struggles and successes of the week
It took me most of the week to get through the nasty lurgy, but a good weekend and Monday meant that my delayed weigh in was a happy one!
I'm away on the road at the moment so will have to update my logging and stepping goals from my geeky spreadsheet next week. Inspired to see others are putting in some good weeks 0 -

Struggles or successes of your week:
Pretty good week, my wife and I ran an entire 5K in St. Charles, MO on Sunday and finished in 36:13 minutes (11:40 min/mile). Was pleasantly surprised that we finished with an average pace ~1 minute faster than our normal pace for 1 mile; after some reading this is fairly common due to the additional motivation in a large group run.
Really only lost ~2½ lbs this week, my last weigh in was ~1½ lbs less than I expected; I expected it to hit this week.
Month to Date Exercise (Monthly Goal):
Cycling - 0.0 miles (75 Miles)
Jogging/Running - 6.3 miles (30 Miles)
Hiking - 0.0 Miles & 0' elev. climb (15 Miles)

Awesome time Matt, way to rock it!!

No access to the pool at this time. I teach, so have to do a lot of walking at work... I log t least 7-8K on my fitbit every day, and around 5K on the weekends. That's all I can handle at this time. With the weight still pretty close to the 400s, I don't want to put any more stress on my joints... :-)0 -
