My goal this week is to stay steady and not gain any weight. We shall see.

I spent the weekend baking gifts for Christmas and didn't feel tempted to indulge! It helped to know I had to report to you all, so a big thanks!!

    Onward!

    Successes/struggles this week: Holy moly! I was so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I had lost this week. I was elated when I realized how much had been lost! This week I purposely didn't step on the scale AT ALL, which is a pretty big accomplishment for me, as I am a normal morning weigher. I struggled this week getting my workouts in, as it is just such a busy time of the year for me, but I did really well logging all my food intakes on the app.

    Successes/struggles: Have been yo-yoing since the beginning of November. I can also call it a forced maintenance as I am moving within a 2lbs range, so if I can keep it at that level, I'm good until the holidays are over. Still exercising and behaving wisely on no-party, no-outings days. Want to keep away from the 140 line on the graph as much as possible. :)
