    Weight lost/gained this week: 2

    Successes/struggles this week: I had to take 3 days off from exercise to recover from hip pain. I have learned a lot about hip strengthening stretches. I also tried my first water aerobics class. Food has been under my caloric limit, but I had a few unhealthy substitutions this week, including my daughter’s morning waffles (plain) and chocolate covered almonds.

    Weight lost/gained this week: 1 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 4.5 lbs

    Successes/struggles 1st week: Struggles - I had some trouble with afternoon snacking. Dang, I love crunchy, salty snacks! Success - I stuck with my exercise routine and worked hard. I am soooooo close to "onederland" and it's super motivating to keep going.

    Successes/struggles 2nd week : Struggles - I still want something crunchy in the afternoon, but I've been making better choices and watching my portion control. I've also been asking myself why I want the snack. Is it because I am hungry or is there another reason? I would like to drink more water. It's something I have always struggled with.
    Success - Onederland, baby!!! I started at 280 almost a year ago so this is a major milestone for me. I have been watching my portion size (even with "healthy food) and have been sticking hard to my exercise routine.

    Successes/struggles this week: Gearing up to start the whole30 on Monday, so pretty excited about that. I have been working out at least a little almost everyday, and stretching my back that has been hurting quite a bit. This week has been especially stressful due to work being a disaster all week and my husband being sick. I'm only down 0.2lbs this week, but with such a big drop last week I am not surprised. Expecting another drop by next week for sure!

    Not very proud of myself this week but went back to work and have not been exercising the whole week coz I drive 4 hours to get to work and back home and by the time I get home, all I want is my bed. Need to push myself a bit harder and I've got a plan for this week, just hope I stick with it. I thought I was Doug great with my diet but I'm not too sure anymore
