Successes/struggles: It’s been a great week this week. Feel like I’m finally achieving a bit more balance in my approach to maintenance, rather than my usual all or nothing cycle. Being really active has helped me to feel confident about allowing some treats here and there, and I’m conscious of fuelling properly to allow me to achieve my fitness goals. My weight has danced around a fair amount this month but I’ve ended right in the middle of my range, and made some great progress with my fitness so calling March a winning month!

See you all in April x

Struggles: March was tough. Nasty cold and a nagging injury led to some uncontrolled eating ... which then lead to feeling worse. (I am discovering that if I eat junk, I feel like junk!)

Success: Ended the month with some solid days of healthy eating. Feeling much better, but still working through injury issue and limited exercise. So looking forward to April and, hopefully, much warmer Spring weather.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I am down today although not as low as I was all week. I was hovering around 131 all week. Went out last night late dinner for me, saw my niece play Ursula in the Little Mermaid late night to bed up early today. I was thinking about switching my weigh in day to Saturday although it really would not matter as the trend is downward plus I'm still in my range.
It was nice this week so I have been busy outside yesterday weeded the garden, raked the leaves, planted bushes, cleaned the car and walked 5.5 miles on top of that. I was busy all week and I still gained a pound.. UGH

Success/ struggles of the week: i was able to ride my bike to work most days this week, and I've been focusing on riding harder, even on commute runs. It shows in my heart rate graphs, as i run much more time in peak zone. So my extra effort is being rewarded nicely. Very happy about it. As a result, my weight is finally going down to where i prefer to be. My legs are super strong, and I'm still tweaking new commuter bike for a better fit so that's a work in progress. I get terrible leg cramps at night if it's not correct, so very motivated to make it perfect, lol. See you all in April's thread, have a great week!

Success(es)/challengesof the week:
Successes: Went to yoga twice this week. Avoided post dinner snacking every single night this week. Enjoyed jogging at a slow pace this week. Reached my 150 minutes of cardio. Felt good that I didn’t cave into snacking while on vacation this week with a lot of leisure time on my hands.
Challenges: I am just not going to be defeated by that scale! I weighed in at 129.5 yesterday, so I can’t believe that I gained two pounds of fat in one day. According to Happy Scale, my moving average increased by 0.7 this month. I measured my waist, which is the same as five months ago.

Success of the week: I've been maintaining better than ever this month even though I had a wild fluctuation this week. My weekly average and scale weight are each 0.2 pounds from my goal - one is above, and one is below. With the nicer weather, I'm regularly bike commuting again. I don't know why I stopped for the winter!

Struggle of the week: My allergies kicked in. Someone brought a bunch of junk to the office on Friday. I declined all of it, but I did look at the package of mega stuff oreos. Each cookie is 90 calories. SO not worth it!
