    Successes/struggles this week: Not as much running as I had hoped - the weather just didn't cooperate. Did fairly well on food. I've been doing this for awhile, so having this renewed accountability helped encourage the right choices.

    So happy for the results!! This is just week one and I am aware a lot of the loss is due to water. I reduced by sugar intake, no late night eating, tracked my calories and joined the challenge. Thank you everyone for the support!

    Weight lost/gained this month: 1 pound

    Successes/struggles this week: This week I began doing the Body Beast workouts combined with other cardio. I'm glad I started because I needed the guidelines that the program gives (timing, reps, variety, etc.) So the scale might not move as much if I gain muscle? It's hard to judge that so early. So that means I did about 60 minutes of exercise at least 6 days this past week. (On the 7th day, I took my dog for a walk so I got a bit in that day too.) My struggles this week are with food (as usual) because I try to stick close to what MFP says for calorie intake, but it seems low compared to what others are eating. When I go over, I definitely gain weight so I don't know what the deal is. I am trying to focus on healthy, clean meals and we'll see what happens.

    Challenge of the week: Went out on a date night with my husband, so had a binge evening. However, I went right back on my plan the next day.

    Success: Started speed walking again... 4.2 miles per hour on an average... feeling a bit sore in the hips area... but trying to keep on track by walking during my lunch hour at work... Best thing I ever did was to purchase a fitbit... I never realized how much I was just not doing anything... would be the reason i've gained 30+ pounds since I started working in my office 6 years ago!
