    Recalculate goal loss for 1st April. ONEDERLAND. 199 pounds.

    After struggling with a very bad knee all week which scuppered my exercise plan I'm pleased to announce a great weight loss this week, probably my best ever since my first week.
    WATER ! I challenged myself this week to drink 5 x 0.5 litres of water (plus a couple of cups of tea) every day. I filled the bottles in the morning and put them in the fridge and endeavoured to drink them all. Well. It looks like it has helped a lot with my weight loss. I'm doing the same this week and still can't exercise so hope it has another positive effect.

    Successes/struggles this week: The new trainer at bootcamp is really tough but gets great results!

My supplements arrived on Thursday and I am trying to get organised so that I have the correct ones with me at the right time.

    Weight lost/gained this month:-6

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Have pushed through the minus 80 pounds barrier thus far with this weigh-in. Not quite as big of a loss as I had hoped, but still progressing and coming to terms that it likely get a little tougher near the end, and then a whole new battle will unfold.

    Very happy with my running progress and often excited to actually go do it. Nasty weather has made it tough some days though with a wet, stormy pattern finally returning to the NW coast and the thought of willingly going back outside (after working in it most days) in 40 degree, wind-swept downpours has been tough. The feeling of satisfaction when I have done so though has definitely been worth it!

    Successes/struggles this week: I worked out Sunday through Thursday last week and ended up hurting my ankle so missed my Friday and Saturday workouts. My eating was on target for the most part, so I was hoping for more of a loss, but maybe I'll make up for it this week now that I'm feeling better and back into my workouts.

    Successes/struggles this week: I was nervous last night, didn't feel like I had lost a thing! I'll take the 1.4! Walked lots of pasture over the last weekend with the "Grand dog". I think he needs to come visit more. I'm going to reward myself with a pasture walk this morning. If I can lose another 2 this week I will be happy. It's not the 10 I was looking for but slow and steady wins the race!

    Successes this week: Went back to the gym even though I was feeling down after all the weight gain.
    Struggles this week: 7lbs on after a weekend in barcelona. Now I know I over ate, but 7lbs!!! :'( . And even two days later it's not come off, so its not water weight. Back to the beginning. I doubt I'll meet my March goal weight now.
