    Well, I haven't gone walking every day like I wanted to, but it has been -30 for a week now, but I've managed to replace it with some strength training. I have cut back on the chocolate like I wanted to. A lot less binging. I hope to keep up the progress. :)

    CW: 191.8
    GW: 185
    Goals this month:
    1. Log all food. I eat pretty healthy but need to work on portion size
    2. Work out 6 days/wk; 4 days HIIT, 2 days cardio
    3. Work in extra cardio on HIIT days
    4. Lay off the snooze button & discipline myself to get up & exercise in the mornings
    5. Cut back on Blue Moon consumption on weekends

    Weigh in dates:
    1/1 - 191.8
    1/6 - 190.4
    1/13 -
    1/20 -

    Final -

    So far so good on goals ... I've logged all my food, worked out 6 days last week and hit the 1st 2 this week, only worked in extra cardio one day but its a start! My proudest accomplishment is getting up early the last 2 days and working out in the morning.

    You can and will do this!

    Think about the biggest reason why you want to loose.. and have that become the focus!

    Thanks! I'm not a runner either, but this is my start. I turn 35 at the beginning of May, and one of my goals is to run a half marathon. Maybe run/walk - just as long as I complete it! :)

    This week's weigh in results has surpassed my initial expectations. The Paleo diet or otherwise known as the Whole30 day program has really been hard. It's been so hard that I've decided not to be as strict as they would have me to be but it's not possible for me that is. ;-0 And even in my own hybrid version, I've been successful as far as weight loss is concerned. so here are my results for this week. My social anxiety triggers did a number on me yesterday, and I broke my diet with two sour cream donuts, but I did my best to offset the damage by working out to P90X3 last night. The workout felt good, but I won't lie and say the donuts didn't taste good, 'cause they did. But I wish it was just because I wanted a treat and not because I was acting out based on anxieties. Oh well, today is another day and another opportunity to get better.

    SW: 232.6
    CW: 219
    GW: 210 for the month

    Goals this month:
    Keep a consistent workout and diet routine, and to not allow my triggers to stand in the way.
