    Struggles or successes of your week: I hit 153 a couple times this week. I'm a daily weigher. But decided not to log it until I see it stay. So today I'm 154.1. I've lost another inch off my hips or love handles?? I don't really know what it's called but I'm measuring it because I want it gone! Lol.

    Struggles or successes of your week: Well, I'm going in the wrong direction, aren't I?

    However, last week I felt like my weight measured usually low anyways. I've been having a hard time staying under my calories this week, even though I have been exercising. I only go over by less than 100 calories (bringing me to a whopping 1400), but I'm trying to be patient with myself and keep working to make good choices.

    Loss/gain for the week: -4.3 lb
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -4.3 lb

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    I made 2 major changes, which I've very proud of!
    1. Avoiding all added sugar and white products (white flour, white rice, white potatoes), I actually haven't eaten any fruit either this week either, just for now while I'm trying to get my sweet tooth under control.
    2. Being very diligent about going to the gym. I never last on low calorie diets, but with my hard workouts--- spinning 1-2 times a day-- I'm able to eat! While avoiding processed foods and sugar and white flour, I get intense carb cravings which I satisfy by binging on fiber one cereal and almond butter. Yes, healthy options, but I seriously overdo it. Need to work on that. Been much better about binging, but it gets really hard in the late afternoon, and then again at night.
    I'm really happy that I've been able to stick to this lifestyle change for a full week--- that's long compared to my history! 4.3 lb in a week is fine by me. Although, I did GAIN 10 lb in about a week, so this isn't AS great at it looks.
    Keep up the good work, all!

    Struggles or successes of your week: This week I was sick so I only worked out half as many times as I had planned. It was also TOM. I also had a few meal planning fails where things fell through (forgetting to thaw, not reading the recipe correctly etc.) and I had to resort to quick sodium-filled foods although I stayed within my calorie allowance. In spite of this I still lost so I am grateful for that!

    Struggles or successes for your week: It's a little frustrating not to make progress, but I did start a new exercise program and I was a little sore, so I suppose I could be retaining water for sore muscles. Also took measurements at the start of this program because the last program I did was all inches and not much weight lost. I think if I can behave during the weekend I get my "whoosh"!
