    Weight -/+ this week: 0
    Weight -/+ this month: 0

    Successes / struggles this week:

    Have been eating well this last week, but have been limited to time spent outside exercising due to rubbish weather. I am a live in care giver so only get 3hrs off in a day and for 10 days solid it decided to rain everyday on my break. Indoor excercise is very limited. Think I need to get an exercise DVD for next time.
    Week ahead: i am now back in France, I have brought my 16 year old niece back with me for 2 weeks. She wants to be a chef so we are planning to show her the French way of life, breads, pates, cheeses etc. I think I'm doomed

    Successful week considering it was a holiday weekend and it's so smokey it's hard to get outside to do any exercise. Just need to make time to go to the gym instead.

    Weight -/+ this month:-9.6


    Successes / struggles this week: Huge weight loss for me this week. two things that I've done differently this week 1. I've exercised every day Tuesday-Friday. 2. I haven't eaten after 8 pm (I noticed in my diary that if I ate after 7-8pm I couldn't sleep well and wouldn't lose weight for a few days, I'd even gain weight. It doesn't get past me that I did pass my goal, not sure what to do now.

    I am confused that my body never rebounded and gained weight after my fast the beginning of August it usually does.

    I am currently depressed and trying to not fall into bad habits. You know, the FEEL BAD=EAT. Whats worse is I'm not sure why I am depressed so can't figure out how to fix it.

    Successes / struggles this week: Weighing in a day early because I'm anticipating a fluctuation upward in the morning. Have a friends birthday celebration tonight which will include evening appetizers. Hard to say whether I will track everything or just relax and enjoy time with friends.
    Had a good week of exercising and staying within calories. Nice to see the 130's again! It's been awhile.

    Successes / struggles this week: I still haven't made it back to the gym for resistance workouts yet--just too busy at work & doing some stuff around the house lately. I got cleared of my Binge Eating Disorder on August 8th due to going 90 days without a binge eating episode & feel that my eating binges are behind me now, which is something that's plagued my weight loss attempts for years.
