    Struggles/victories for the week: I have not been doing the yoga in the morning like I was. I feel bad for quitting it, and it did make me feel pretty good...will probably start doing it again this week. Another struggle I had was that I had one of those moments where I was hungry and I just wanted to say "screw it" and eat everything in sight. It was after work and I had to come home and cook. I reminded myself why I'm doing this and grabbed some fruit to get me by until supper was ready. Other than that, I feel like I'm getting in a good routine and overall the healthier eating and exercising is becoming second nature. Oh, and I remembered to take my vitamins everyday this week!
