    Successes/struggles this week: Still struggling with my nutrition and have been stress eating like crazy. My goal, this week, is just to be conscious of every eating decision (good or bad) that I make. I had some success with my running this week and am getting ready for my half marathon next weekend.

    Struggles/ successes: Not a real loss as I think that my start weight was artificially high. I've been doing really well with exercise, but drinking far too much wine and eating too much - must stop baking! Feeling motivated now to get on track.

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Weighed in this morning after not having weighed since the 1st. Down 1.6 lbs. Having the flu last week helped, and getting back on track once I felt like eating again has really helped too! Struggling with getting my water intake back up and remembering to track it. Took last week off from Stronglifts (again flu!), but back at it this week as well. Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...

    Successes/struggles this week: Wow, I just realized I hit my goal! I always lose water weight when I first start. New goal is 5 more pounds by the end of the month!
    Start back to jogging in am, that is my best time. Did really good this past week and did 10,000 steps all last week, so plan to keep up 10,000 steps per day during week. Keep logging food.

    Weight -/+ this week:
    Weight -/+ this month: I sabatage myself every weekend with cheat day(s) when I'm over extending myself. I must begin meal prepping for the weekend and sticking to a workout schedule during that time period as well. I also must remember that slow and steady (weight loss) is better than quick in easy so that I won't be so easily discouraged after 2 weeks.
