    Last week was a good one. I joined the gym and worked out three times for an hour+. My goal is to be in the gym at least 5-6 days per week. I'm sure to see serious results then......I hope :). Eating 100% right is still a struggle :(, but I'm sure ill get better!

    CW: 258......dropped 3lbs this week.

    Awesome job!!!! I'm so glad that you got over that plateau! Aren't they a pain?

    ******

    I'm challenging myself to a monthly weigh in for March, so I won't check my weight again until April. 1. It's hard because I get on that scale by habit, every single morning. This will be a great way to break that habit, and to also give myself a nice surprise on April 1. :) (I'm optimistic).

    I'm home from work today with loads of body aches. I really need to go back to bed. I'll post more when I get up. You ladies have a great day and an awesome week!

    What kind of HRM do you all have and where did you get it from?

    I have a Polar ft7 and I never work out without it and I find it is pretty accurate.
    I bought it from Base.com as they were the cheapest at the time and I think they ship internationally aswell.

    Which one are you considering?

    March totals
    03/04: 176.1
    03/11:

    03/25

    Weight loss for the week = 2
    Total loss = - 8.7
    Total fat loss % 4.71

    NSV:
    Started Month 2 of Insanity and it is INSANE! Still getting up early to get it in. It has been quite
    a challenge to get the kids off to school and get to work on time but getting a morning workout in
    actually energizes me.

    Let's keep up the great work ladies.

    I'm not even sure!! It seems as if a lot of people have the polar ones so I may check those out!! I definitely need one though.
