    I'm in! I need to hold myself accounatable for this month, because I really let it go the past couple of weeks!

    CW; 136
    GW: 130 (for the month), 125 final goal.

    CW: I didn't weigh in this AM but will tomorrow. I have a fear of the scale, it tells me what I don't want to hear! (which is...put DOWN the gummy bears!")

    What new habit do I want to start this month? AM exercises. My husband and I share a vehicle and he just started working a new job, which means I don't get to leave my job at 4:30 like normal I have to wait until 5:30, and I miss a bunch of my prefered gym classes. So I want to do my kettlebell workouts MWF before work, and then go to the gym in the evenings for cardio. I'm not a morning person and have problems with sleep latency, so it's always been a challenge for me to jump on the AM exercise bandwagon.

    I'm really trying to stay away from processed and carby foods, especially in situations like "Oh, only one wouldn't hurt" (because only one turns into only two and then only three...). Also trying to run more in the morning. Good luck to everyone!

    I am back again after march being a fail month in terms of weight loss. However, I successfully quit smoking on 3/1 and maintained my weight during the month (until the last two days) so I will actually consider March a win for me. Now it is back to re-coupe from Easter weekend and the mass sodium buildup and to convince my body that it isn't getting the cigs back so it might as well get back into gear and release the weight it is holding onto as well.

    Happy April Everyone!!!

    What new event, habit or change are you going to accomplish this month? Going to start making some of these Paleo recipes that I've collected, and try to implement them into my life. If any of you are actually Paleo, please let me know, I'd love to have more Paleo people as friends, I'm very brand new to it. :)

    ACTIVITY: heal my knee, 3x water aerobics a week, 2 x wt training a week, 15 mins (minimum) walk per day
    SUPPORT: MFP daily, health coach, staying within calories, prayer.
