Success is that i still logged everything.
I cooked and ate a whole lot of new salads this week.

Successes/struggles this week:
I have been quite surprised at my will power so far this year! I have been refusing the biscuits and cake brought into work.
I was at my SO's parents' house for one day the last two weeks for dinner and I refused all the desert options they had as well.
I am actually really enjoying eating less and moving more! I have also stopped driving to work and getting public transport instead, which means 1 hour of walking per day
(BTW - loving the January Blogilates calender )

Struggles are that my anaemia has reappeared with a vengeance, as well as my psoriasis, so I'm pretty exhausted all of the time. Hopefully I can get it under control for the rest of the month.

Successes/struggles this week: since Tuesday I've had some pretty intense thoughts of quitting. I know it's wrapped up in severe PMS, but this is when it gets hard. I start looking in the mirror and hating what I see, where as the rest of the month I'm pretty positive. Does anyone else have extreme PMS?

I did make healthy choices and yesterday when I forgot to unfreeze some meat for supper, we got bundled up and walked to the grocery store. Normally we would have said screw it and ordered in curry.

Haven't added any excersize but I have volunteered to clean the walk way at work of snow on my breaks. Keeps me moving.

Successes/struggles this week: Ugh! This has been a tough week for me. Just didn't feel like doing much for the first three days after my long run on Sunday. Yesterday, I finally made it back on the treadmill and did 5 miles. However, it could have been a lot worse and I feel good that I made myself get back in the game.
