    Successes/struggles this week: This flu is really kicking me while I am down! I'm starting to feel better, but it is slow going -- and now I have the added stress of getting done all of the things I should have been working on during the time I was sick...

    Still, today is a new day: I'll do what I can with it!

    Weight lost/gained this month: +0,1

    Struggles: Weekend at my parents' place. old eating patterns, not enough drink. hardly any exercise. not nearly enough sleep the whole week.
    Success: We went for a nice long walk, great for the mood! the last few days I have managed to stay under my calories, prepare lunch for work, be consistent in my logging, and avoid snacking in the evening.

    my goal for this month seems a bit far away but I feel that I really deserve the loss (even if it's a very tiny one).

    Successes/struggles this week: Another good week loss for me considering I overindulged a lot last weekend.
    Upcoming week is going to be a challenge as it's my birthday, but I feel good going into it and am learning that it's OK to have an indulgence occasionally, as long as I eat clean with my very next meal forward again.

    Successes/Struggles this week: Stayed consistent with exercise. For the past 2 weeks, I've been down my daughter's house because she was in the hospital. Although I stayed within my calorie goals, I must be eating more then I think: more take out, not preparing my own food, not weighing food, stress, etc.. I'll be back home today. Back in my comfort zone!!! :)

    A lot of great progress here! Have a great week everyone! <3
