    Go swimming at least twice this month

    Struggles: Got to the gym, but backslid on eating a couple days (being forced to stay up until 4 AM working on a computer issue messes with my appetite).

    Success: At least I'm not gaining, and I hammered out 3 full squats at 500 at the end of my workout last week and they felt GREAT. Tomorrow's deadlift day, and I've got some energy to burn!

    Success: I've cut out sodas successfully except for the one glass of Pepsi that I allowed myself at my birthday dinner. I was also really good at prepping my meals and eating healthy during the week.

    Struggles: This was my birthday weekend. I decided to enjoy myself and not obsess over my food. I suprised myself because even though I had comfort food I didn't go overboard like I thought I would.

    Exercise: managed only 1 workout on the elliptical but I did accomplish my goal of going to the YMCA to research the prices of joining.
