    I had a good first week, stayed focused & eat within my calories. I didn't hit my exercise goal having only run once (4.6 miles), but I'm not concerned about that as it was my first run in 2 weeks. I'm going to hit my running goal this week & add a gym session the following week. Not drinking alcohol has not been a problem so far, I've actually enjoyed not touching a drop of alcohol and I normally love a drink or two. I'm going to keep taking one week at a time & stay focused.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Good luck everyone & keep up the good work, you can do it.
