    Done yoga 2x per week (except last week)
    Eaten 4-5 fruits and veggies most days
    Avoided the coffee shop for breakfast (and saved $$)
    Joined this group for inspiration. :smile:

    I'm not sure how much money I've saved. We don't always eat fast food (depends on the budget and things are a little tight this month). I do know I've save a ton on Pepsi. I have bought 2 12 packs (about $7 total) to drink my one a day. And I've bought, maybe 5 fountain Pepsi at the store (another $5) for a total of about $12. Before, I would fill up my Pepsi cup 2-3 times a day at $1 each. ($60-90 a month) plus Pepsi when we went out to eat.

    This time of year for me is CRAZY for me, I'm having a hard time even sleeping forget about trying to log my food or fit in a workout. I work at a tax office and I've been working open to close this week, I have at least another week left of that. I'm trying to make sure I pack a healthy stuff to eat during the day but it seems either I'm not eating enough or I'm eating all the junk just to get through the day! UGH, I also hate working out so any excuse not to works for me and working 14 hours a day...I'll take that excuse. So far I am down for the week but as I promised myself i'm NOT logging my weight until Monday and it will be what ever the scale says that morning. Wish me luck, trying to stay the course....but honestly struggling!

    Well, since January first I have been somewhat disappointed in myself so for. I am Not sure we putting forth the effort I just cannot seem to get motivated. On January 1 I started in at 285.4 pounds and I am so excited that today I finally broke from the 280's. This morning I was in aw saw 279lbs that's 6.4 so far. Considering I'm not putting in the physical work, that's pretty ok.

    That is still 1-2 pounds a week. Even with walking almost every day and staying under calories, I lost 8.4. You aren't far behind. Celebrate every pound!
