    Successes/struggles this week: after all the binging, I reset my calorie goal a bit higher to see if it helped. it did, but my weight stayed stable this week - and then that familiar monthly pain smacked me in the face. think I found my problem!

    Successes/struggles this week: This week is the first nice weather we've had this year and I celebrated by going for a run on Wednesday. I haven't run since last October but I've been doing Les Mills Combat since the beginning of the year and assumed I'd only be able to run for 10 minutes at a time max. Well I felt so amazing that I ended up running an entire 5k in 34 minutes (which is faster that I was able to do when I was running consistently last year!). It was a great week and I may not have lost very much, but I'm excited that I'm getting closer to my goal and that I'm fitter than I've been in a long time!

    Successes/struggles this week: FINALLY, after weeks of absolutely nothing, some movement in the right direction! Happy to get going again.
    I ended up doing a planned "re-feed" for a few days this week so overate a lot, which seems to have shocked my body back into action. Little worried that the calories consumed will come back to haunt me next week, but we'll see what happens.

    Successes this week: I definitely didn't expect to lose so much this week. I was eating chocolate cake on Tuesday! I am assuming this is my whoosh after TOM. I'm not expecting any loss next weekend, as I plan to eat lots of tapas in Barcelona. :)

    Struggles this week: Doing two exercise classes in a row was definitely a struggle.

    Successes/struggles this week: After some slip ups last week, I'm back on the right track. I'm thinking I probably won't be able to make it to my goal weight, so I may change it to 135 pounds instead of 133.8. It seems more realistic.

    Successes this week: Went out with friends last night and ate some crudite with no dip and had no alcohol. Going to a party again tonight and am planning on the same!

    Struggles this week: Had trouble getting myself motivated to work out. Twice I skipped in the morning, but one day I went for a long walk instead and the other I did my video after work (which I loathe). So this struggle turned into a success because I didn't let my lack of motivation get it my way!

    Weight lost/gained this month: +0.7 kg

    Struggles this week: My modem/router died (don't remember which, b/c that's husband's job), and my cheap phone hates the app, so I didn't track for several days. I tried to keep things reasonable... for most of it.

    I did relay for life this weekend and it just wrecked me. I baked a fair bit for it and ate a lot of what I baked. I feel like I've got a carb hang over. I did bake it with me in mind, so it was all lactose free, gluten free but still- too much sugar! Cupcakes, muffins, cookies, brownies, biscuits. During the event, I ate so much of that stuff and not enough protein, fruit, & veg. Then when I got home, I didn't feel like cooking so I ate out. So in addition to feeling like I've got noodle legs and having swollen knees, my tummy feels abused.

    Success: I spent 15 hours at Relay for Life and walked on and off for about 11 hours of it. I slept for the other 4, but out of the 11 hours or so I did one big 4 hour block of straight walking. I'm swollen, tired, and in pain -but I feel pretty freaking proud of myself for being able to do as much as I did. Too bad I didn't think to bring a pedometer or count my laps, but I'm sure that's the most I've ever walked in one day.

    Struggles: Weighed myself yesterday and was 124.8. Weighed today and was right back where I started. Added to this was the first migraine I have had in over a year...

    Successes: Stayed in my calorie allotment every day despite going out to eat on Friday and celebrating Pi day with a single slice of apple pie. Purposely went out of my way a few days this week to get in extra steps. My husband has been a huge motivator for that and I am very lucky to have someone pushing me to get out more which is against my intrinsic nature.
