Basically my goals for the week are to keep logging my food and exercise if any, try to stay generally within my calorie goal and drink as much water as I can. My mother had surgery and since the quarter (job) ends in mid June I have some job searching activities this week as well as work so hoping to get back into my exercise routine after tomorrow. So I will probably check-in on Thursday morning or Friday. Hope all are having a great week.
