    The good - I achieved my goal of running 3 days & not drinking alcohol. I've booked a session with a personal traininer for this week at the gym. Monday- Friday, I logged my food on these days & was within my target calories.

    Not so good - this weekend was tough as I had a weekend of social events. Sat I was just over my calories, Sunday I was doing fine until the evening & then it was an all out binge session. What I have learned from Sunday is not to leave it until I'm starving to eat, plan what I'm going to eat (or not eat) every day.

    This week is going to be a hard one, I've got 2 free buffets & a evening gala meal with free food and alcohol. My will power is going to be tested to the max!!

    Good luck everyone & keep up the good work, you can do it.

    Wow, I've been there (lunches, conference buffets etc.) Stay strong, drink lots of water, will help you feel full and keep away from the food - or at least eat less. Put veggies in your plate first before adding the stuff. Planning your day sounds like a great idea also. Good luck!

    Had a minor setback. The Paleo Diet did a number on my gut, so I had to stop it. So the drastic weight loss that I experienced during the first week slowed down and I gained 3lbs back. However the good news is, I actually made it to my original goal weight of 222.6. But I will continue to strive for the new GW of 210. I have two more weeks and the rest of this week and a fighting chance. Pray for me! Here are my stats for this week.

    SW: 232.6
    CW: 222.6
    GW: 210.6 for the month

    Goals this month:
    Keep a consistent workout and diet routine, and to not allow my triggers to stand in the way.

    Lost another 3 pounds, but I think that might be just stress...lol. I've slacked off on working out, so I need to do better in getting myself moving more often. Still not drinking enough water. I don't know why that's such a problem for me. I've also picked up the carbs, so I have to get back to my veggies. Sigh. It'll get better.

    The good - I made it through the week still on track even with all of my free food & alcohol events (it was hard). My running is going really well, I even managed to squeeze in 1 gym session, 1 insanity work out & a bike ride.

    Not so good - The week was hard mentally, I had a bing eat on one of my days & felt awful afterwards. Luckily due to all of the exercise I did, I still managed to loose weight

    This week is all about staying focused & taking one day at a time.

    Good luck everyone & keep up the good work, you can do it.

    Back to working out regularly, so that's good. Still not drinking enough water. I need an alarm or something to remind me to sip more often throughout the day. Weight is holding from last week, which is okay. But I need to kick it into high gear next month.
