Successes/struggles this week: Successes - I have worked really hard this week, worked out everyday and have kept to my meal plan pretty consistently. Struggles - I haven't lost any weight, I think this may be due to sleeping problems (only getting 2-3 hours a night) and I also think I may have gained some muscle, my legs and abs feel tighter. Hopefully will lose 2 pounds next week
I haven't had a rest day from exercise, the scale always seems to come down after a rest day but muscles haven't been aching as much so didn't think I needed one this week. 0 -

Successes/struggles this week: had a really good week exercise wise. Hiked 10+ miles carrying either 40 or 70lbs for 4 days, walked 15 kms on 2 other days and ran 10kms on the last day as it was raining (treadmill). Despite this my weight loss hasn't been great which I suspect is partly due to DOMS and partly to water retention.0 -
