    Struggles or successes of your week: Valentine's Day. I planned a huge day of treats for my family (ok, not the best idea) and indulged right along with them. I thought I'd be ready to go Sunday morning, but the day was high stress (lots of screaming from baby/kid) and in the end I tossed in the towel! Friday I was at 195.8 (a 5.4lb loss for the week) but this morning I was up almost 3 pounds. I'm sure most of it is salt...but still. Bummed me out.

    Went for lundi gras rather than mardi gras. Actually not feeling guilty or sick. I wasn't going to log it - but the truth is important, so here it is.

    Struggles or successes of your week:

    Success: Completed week 2 of Couch to 5k, and have started to love the energy and endorphins after each workout.

    Struggle: I need to begin focusing on a strength training routine, but having a hard time getting started. I don't know how to use most of the machines, and I don't get the feel-good rush like I do after cardio.

    Struggles or successes of your week: (2/11) I went home for the weekend and struggled to count accurately. Actually went up to 58.6kgs! But good to see that I've recovered :)

    Struggles or successes of the week(2/17): Can't say I've had any. I was craving sweet things on Sunday and I did eat a little over my daily calories but it wasn't a train wreck. It's the first time I've been in the 57 range so I'm quite psyched about that!
