    Successes/struggles this week: Did quite well for the most part in regards to eating within my limit, and I only had one day where the hunger pangs were hitting me real hard (from the moment I woke up, no less). As for struggles, being inactive due to my back problems still sucks when all I want to do is get out to the gym.

    Successes / struggles this week: I overindulged this past weekend because it was my husband's birthday. I should have said no to the cheesecake... but I just couldn't help it, lol! But back in the saddle today. Started today with a 3 mile walk, hit my fitbit step goal by 3:00pm! Super motivated to kill it this week. I'm fairly certain I'm holding some water weight, so we'll see if I have a bit of a "woosh" in a few days.

    Successes / struggles this week: Successes, I am getting better quality sleep lately and I think that has a lot to do with me finally seeing some movement on the scale! I really haven't changed anything else! No complaints here haha

    Struggles - I really need to kick up the workouts. As soon as I plan to though, I catch my kids chest cold lol. I might attempt walking on the treadmill tonight, or something light.

    I changed my weigh-in date to be Wednesday. Using the scale at my work gym and Wednesday afternoons is a good time for me to get this done. With a long Holiday weekend coming up, the temptation to eat extra will be a struggle for me. My plan is to keep busy and out of the house/kitchen!

    Successes / struggles this week: This week has been great, which is why I was so disheartened by my weigh in. Even if I underestimated my food this week by almost 3,000 calories then I should at least be the same as last week (68.3kg). I would have had to eat over 10,000 extra calories than what I calculated for it to be right, lol. Soooo It's got to be some kind of fluctuation for whatever reason. I will just see how things go next week! :)
