    Successes/struggles this week: What?! I gained 4.5 lbs in 5 days?! I didn't even know that was possible. The scale is going the wrong way. I exercised every day. I didn't eat super great, but I didn't eat horribly either. I went over a few days, but not by much. Heavy sigh. Hopefully next week have a better #.

Yesterday was tough because I had to drive 7 hours to a project site and survey it, so not much time for exercise. Rest of the week, I think I did really well. I'm going to really try to eat well today and tomorrow so I can feast during the superbowl!

    Successes/struggles this week: Struggles - Knowing that this "loss" could just be a fluke. My weight fluctuates A LOT, I could be back up to 200 by tomorrow. Also, still figuring out portion control and being motivated to exercise regularly.
    Success- Finally setting a SOLID and REAL weight loss goal for myself instead of just "lose some weight sometime" I want to be down to 180 lb by my birthday.

    Successes/struggles this week: Not preparing a lunch for work made it easier to buy filth from the cafe. Ending the week on a junk food binge does not help either. The silver lining is I had my first coke temptation of the year and resisted. This makes 13 months since I've had a coke. After having anywhere from a small bottle to a case or more a day since I was 8 years old, I am happy with this.

Switching up routine to see if I can get off stuck on the scale.
