Successes/struggles this week: Well, it was the morning after a wedding when I weighed in last week, so looks artificially high in the loss department, but it does feel good Despite a trip to Vancouver, being taken out on my last day of work, and some stress and excitement this week I hit my fitness goals and ate pretty well. I have a birthday party today and a wedding tonight, then starting a new job on Monday so will need to really think ahead!

Successes/struggles this week:

• Success: Went out to eat once at my favorite Mexican place, and didn't eat super well... but controlled portions and burned off the extra calories the next day. That was the only day I went over my daily calories.
• Struggle: For the first time I was unable to complete my C25K day. I'm on W7D2 (25min jog) and I went to a new park to run. I don't think my body was used to the hills and I could only do 20 minutes of jogging with a few periods of walking. Oh well - rest up, fuel the body, and I'll get it next time.

Successes/struggles this week:
Week 1: Very pleased this week. Blew through my original goal of 217 lbs and adjusted downward to 210 lbs. Long walks, 7-8 miles a day, coupled with a calorie deficit each day did the trick. I don't expect this every week though. Plan to celebrate with a glass of wine tonight!

Weight lost/gained this month:

Successes/struggles this week: Had several days where my water intake was good but also had a few days where I had more soda than I should had. Trying to cut back on them. Slowly getting back into making healthier choices.

I lose weight very slowly though I workout 5 times per week for 2 hours or more per session.
Looking to watch what I eat more without necessarily going on a super restrictive diet.

Successes/struggles this week:
August 8
This week I continued doing everything I was doing. I feel like I haven't eaten particularly well, but the food I ate wasn't unhealthy either. I made some Thai soup yesterday (friday) and ate it that day then the next day. There's a lot of coconut milk in that soup, but I also know that the oil in coconut is healthy (consumer in moderation). I'm still struggling to eat healthy food more often.

Also felt pain in my hamstrings on Tuesday, so I haven't run since out of precaution. I still do other forms of cardio and strength training. I worked out 4 days straight (mon-thur) took friday off and did some very light exercise today (Saturday). I'm not sure if I will take a full rest day Sunday or an active rest day. We'll see!
