    I'd love to be around 140, but not sure if that's realistic....but I'd be happy with any loss, just no gaining!
    My other goals are to log everyday and remain in my calorie goal - I have a habit of eating constantly which got me here!
    Being more aware of when I'm actually hungry,
    Knowing that when I get hungry, a small snack will suffice, and curb the hunger until mealtime - I don't need to scarf many portions down mindlessly.
    Keep in calorie goals especially on the days I don't get out walking/doing other exercise.

    So far...

    1. In progress! Just finished Block 2 Week 1.
    2. CHECK! :):):)
    3. Check!
    4. Mostly... I haven't stayed primal, but I've been under my calorie goal all week.

    Which brings us to:

    5. BOOOOOOOO.... After FINALLY getting into the 180s, the scale went right back up and I've been hovering at 190-191 for the last few days. I'm trying not to dwell on it, and trying to remember that scale fluctuations are NOT a justification to start making unhealthy choices. As long as I keep doing #1-4, #5 will eventually happen.... right? Right?!? :P

    Mid Month Update
    - Lost 200 grams
    - Succeeded in staying within my calorie goal for five days. The other two I had Dominos pizza and Chinese takeaway for the first time this year.
    - Walked over 25 miles this week, so I'm still on track to complete the challenge.
    - Failed to get in a workout this week.

    It's now half-term week, so the kids are home. I won't be able to do half as much walking, but intend to get in a couple of workouts and if the weather improves, some digging in the vegetable garden.

    I COMPLETELY forgot to take mid-month measurements. I did sneak a peak at the scale the other day and I was only down 300g. But I suspect my centimeter losses will make it worthwhile. I've learned so much in the last few weeks that I'm actually thinking of changing my training programme mid-month. While I am pretty consistent and getting in 3-4 days of exercise, I do find that my exercises are too weak and I need to be burning around 500 calories per workout and not the weak 250-350 I'm currently pushing. I think I'm gonna change up my routine a week before the end of the month.

    So, another update -

    1. Still working on Block 2 of P90X3 - this has been a really challenging block! Triometrics is a total killer.
    2. Now I can do TEN full-extension push-ups without stopping! :D
    3. Walk 30 minutes at least 3 times per week - didn't do so well with this due to the snow this week. The roads and sidewalks were all super icy, so getting out was pretty impossible.
    4. Continue eat primal/paleo and stay under calorie goal - again, yes to the second, but less success with the first.
    5. I hit 187.6 this morning, so I only have 2.6 pounds before I hit my pre-pregnancy weight of 185 lbs!
