      Successes/struggles this week: This is my first week on MFP, and so far I'm loving this incredible community. It's a huge encouragement to embark on this (very long) journey with so many awesome fellow travelers. My biggest challenge this week will be coping with exhaustion as my body adapts to a lower sugar intake and I get my macro goals under control.

I'm trying going to bed earlier so I can catch up on shut eye, but he's been getting up almost every 1-2 hours. Hopefully he gets better soon! I hate seeing him sick like this :'(

      Successes/struggles this week: Went out drinking with friends 3 times during the week. Never realised how much calories vodka has. Always thought it was 0 or close to it. Must've gotten about 1500 cals from vodka alone and another 1000 from cider. Thinking I may have been able to lose another pound, if I didn't go drinking, and instead was exercising during those times and eating just a few cals of food. Haha ;D
