Happy Monday! I weighed in this morning at 124.4 - a loss of 4.6 pounds this week. Yay! (Although being sick a few days probably had something to do with it.)

My goals for this week are:
1. 64oz of water each day
2. Yoga three times this week (45 minutes each)
3. Stick to my diet like glue
4. Update my food diary after every meal and snack

Good luck to everyone!
