Weight loss/gain this month

successes/struggles: I have started with a small group at church and lost 20 pounds since January. We weigh once a month, but I am finding myself "playing around" with foods I know I shouldn't be eating, so more accountability would be good for me. Exercise is a challenge--I use a stationary bike, but have real issues with severe arthritis and low back pain, so the dr has me in time out for the next week.

Started a weightlifting program this past week and have been sore all week. Hoping to keep up with the weights despite the soreness. Also, I'll be working out of town this week, so am anticipating that eating healthy will be a challenge.

I think I am finally getting into a fitness routine. I have walked 90 mins 3x this week. I'm currently on night shift and am itching to get home for a walk before bed. The struggle for me is to stop drinking so much weekly...I have the worst friends lol.
