    Struggles or successes of your week: Struggles have trying to find the motivation to work out. It's been so cold here, it's been draining any motivation I have to do things. I got 2 good workouts in this week and 2 not really giving it my all workouts in.

    Successes of the week have been that I actually remembered to log my food most days. This has always been a struggle of mine, so I am looking at it as a success that I logged more than normal!

    Struggles or successes of your week: Prior to the holidays my weight was down to 193.5 but I completely fell off the wagon and gained quite a bit of that back. I think my biggest struggle is wanting to participate in what everyone else is doing but I know that ultimately I am the one paying the price. So I joined the gym this week and have moved into the proverbial wagon (forever)!!! LOL. This challenge is a great idea and I love being accountable to someone other than myself, people who understand my struggles and accomplishments!! Thanks and good luck y'all!!!
