Struggles or successes of your week:
Started a new job this week! That's a challenge in itself because I have worked from home for the past 6 years or so, so going to an office everyday is a challenge itself. The good thing about this job is that the office is about 2.5 miles away from my home and I figured it takes the same time to walk to the office as to go by bus, so if the weather is not so bad I'll just walk and just did that 3 times this week! So, walked 5 miles three times this week, not a bad start! The bad things are two, mainly: 1) I have to prepare my lunch the night before (I'm planning on buying a bunch of tupperware and preparing all my lunches on Sundays, we'll see how it goes ); 2) I come home tired so I don't take the dog on "long" (2 miles) everyday like I did before, luckily my girlfriend takes the dog out for his walk now so he doesn't suffer but still, I miss them.
On top of my new job I'm keeping my old job. The extra income is nice and sincerily, usually there is not much work so I can finish it off real quick and still have the rest of the day free. This week has not been like that though, its a week of unusual activity so I had to work my *kitten* out every day on the old job (from home) and going to the office on my new job fulltime... so, its been a crazy week!
With that being said, I still managed to eat well, never exceeding my calorie limit AND continued to exercise. Today I'm finishing week 3 of the 100 pushups, 200 situps and 200 squats program and being doing quite well really and tomorrow I'm finishing week 3 of the C25K program, which again has been quite good with no struggles whatsoever yet.

I think this all this effort paid off since I lost a pound more than I expected this week!

Loss/gain for the month so far: 4

Struggles or successes of your week: We were all sick as dogs for 2-wks, so were bedridden & had no exercise whatsoever, which no doubt contributed to no weight loss. Although, I didn't have gain either, so I'm happy.

We're still ill, but with the slowing rising temps, my goal is to get some exercise this week, albeit mild... don't want to relapse, because we're still not over our bug. In any event, it's been a tough month health wise, but I'll just continue on the same path.

Have a good week, Everyone!

Success/struggle for the week: I seem to have hit a plateau I am still under the weather a lil. I'm trying to get more and more activity in each day. Getting the yard and garden ready for seeding is helpful and very enjoyable!! Still trying to not over excerpt myself.
Have a great week
