    As of today, I'm actually only 2 pounds from my goal weight, though I may change that as time goes on.

    Just for fun: Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. What new event, habit or change are you going to accomplish this month?

    Two things: (1) start lifting for real; and (2) increasing my calories to find a good maintenance level.

    I'd like to add in few kettlebells classes this month. I've only tried it once and loved it (but I could hardly walk for the rest of the week and it's made me reluctant to have another go).

    I weigh in on Saturdays.

    A bit of a gain, but I expected that since I lost 4.4 last week with no change to diet or routine. This week is a bit of a mess, pretty stressful and I've been struggling to eat enough. i only got 1 day of exercise in. very distracted. Hopefully I am back on track next week.

    This week: well first week into April and started a new exercise plan this month. so far I love it. it gives me more of a variety and more of a challenge. I like that it isn't just the same workout everyday. last month I did zumba which I loved but I was starting to get board so I decided to incorporate zumba into this workout by doing it twice a week. but although the new work out I have been having trouble staying above my calories. with Easter candy and my sister's bbq party (which also had cake) I totally blew this week. im just glad some how I didn't gain any weight. I wanted to lose 8 lbs this month but I might not reach that goal but hopefully I still lose the five pounds we are all after(: wish me luck this week. new week here I come! :D

    End of Month:

    Strangely, I wound up weighing the same despite the fact that I was eating healthier and doing my best to maintain a 500 calorie deficit. I'm thinking part of it might be water retention as I had some very salty food over the weekend. I might see what happens tomorrow and then readjust my recording dates.
