    Weight -/+ this month: -7.8lbs

    Successes/struggles this week:
    Successes: learning better portion control, and learning to balance different foods better. I've learned a lot about eating the same foods with healthier alternatives. Better yet, I stuck to it! I haven't felt like giving up like I have in the past.

    Struggles: I am still having trouble with staying active, and working at a desk doesn't help much. I was told to not focus on activity right away as I am getting used to the food changes, but it still bugs me. I am going to make it a point to get out to the trails with my kids this weekend.

    Struggles: I'm having some sugar cravings, trying hard not to give in but I ate some Manner goods yesterday, felt like crap afterwards, I didn't eat dinner to make up for the extra calories -> NOT SMART IF YOU WANT TO TRAIN PROPERLY!

    Successes/struggles this week: Followed the plan closely with minor modifications and additions and that seemed to work well. I had a close call with a beautiful sandwich, but managed to pull myself together before it went too far. I increased my activity, but only marginally and not at all consistently. I am also still eating a majority of calories between 9 and 10 p.m. several nights a week.

    Hahaha, I was just commenting about the recent spate of Thin Mint attacks. Congrats though on working through it.

    Successes: I have been able to fit some exercise into my week, with work being super busy it's been mentally draining to think of exercising; but, I've done it!

    Struggles: Eating has been a struggle, I have breakfast then it's dinner before I have a chance to eat again. Sure, this might not sound horrible but I'm struggling to choosing healthy" calories after 6pm, I'm beyond hungry and am finding my choices are poor when I'm in that state.

    Successes/struggles this week: Was feeling quite stressed and overtaxed at work today. And emotionally. Not sure why but I tried to overcome every day. I included some sort of activity but not my usual amount. Had some struggles with evening snacking. I did okay overall but I want to stay on track beginning today with regular activity and monitoring stress.

    Successes/struggles this week: A good week! I exercised for at least 30 minutes every day, and I managed to eat some things like pizza and coke while staying within my calorie goals, and the scale reflects that. If I can keep this going I'll reach 20 pounds lost from my starting weight (201) next week!

    Struggles/ successes: Oops. Really struggling with managing my appetite as I increase my exercise. I've been trying to change the focus from weight loss to exercise for a while, but so surprised by how difficult it is to run and control calories at the same time! I need to work harder this week at eating protein and fibre rich foods to fill me up.
