    Struggles or successes of your week: Reached my goal this week! With some luck I'll drop another pound by the end of the month :smiley:
    I completed week 4 of the C25K program but I had to drop the 200 squats program because that along with the running of the c25k and the walking to and from work (5 miles) each day was putting a lot of stress on my legs and I feared I might end up injuring myself. I also completed week 4 of the 200 situps program and had to repeat week 3 of the 100 pushups program (pushups are a real pain!!).

    Really did not do good this week at all.
    I did stay Paleo but way, way too much food.
    If I eat 3/4 jar of cashew butter I am
    not going to lose weight. Today is a new
    day and a new "week" to lose more weight.

    I hope each of you have had a great week!!
    Onward and Downward we go!!

    Loss/gain for the week: +0.9
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -1.1

    Struggles or successes of your week: The weather was awful this week which means little or no walking at all. On the bright side, eating went very good and healthy and stayed under my calorie goal almost all of the times. Yesterday went for a jog and felt great. I wish i could go more often and i wish i could lose the extra pounds so it will be more comfortable and easy to run. I will probably not reach my goal till the end of March but thats ok. Slow and steady wins the race!

    3/8:157.2
    3/15:150
    3/22:148.6
    3/29: 149.4
    3/31:


    Loss/gain for the week: + 0.8 - not going in the good direction this week
    Loss/gain for the month so far: - 10.6 but very happy with overall results !!

    Struggles or successes of your week: Was pretty good all week (no sugar, no bread) but indulged a bit too much yesterday so it shows up this morning on the scale. Did not give in entirely, my sugar monsters did not have a huge victory BUT they did win yesterdays battle - I just have to make sure they do not win the war !!!
    Struggles for next week: Today I am going to a sugar shack so it will be impossible to avoid sugar completely but at least it's maple syrup (healthy right ?) - the trick will be not to indulge (aka overeat) but have a small reasonable amount. MUST RESIST !!! remember, feeling good about myself lasts longer than any maple syrupy taste. Sugar monsters, you will not win !!!.

    Again, all of you have been very inspirational and remind me that I can do this - congratulations on your successes!!!
