    May 8 - 193.5 Yay!!

    Likely a lot of water weight but I'll take it anyway. Trying to stay away from that 200 number don't want to go there.

    Challenge today will be a potluck. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers (and daughters in the group. Thanks for motivating!

    Weekly Goals: workout 30 minutes a day and walk 30 minutes a day on my lunch break (so far so good!)

    Struggles: Coffee. I've had a ton of homework this past week and been drinking a lot in coffee, therefore depriving myself of food that I should be eating in place of those calories.

    Successes: I did well at the family functions, and they are all behind me now!

    The important thing is to get back to it. think back at the triggers so you can pinpoint them and are then able to work on them. Just get back on it You can do this!

    Total pounds lost so far: 0.6
    I'm not happy about my weigh-in this week, but I know exactly why it happened. I'm really looking forward to this week, because my new Fitbit is coming in (hopefully it holds a charge!) and my Polar watch and heart rate monitor came in yesterday. I'm ready to finally figure out how many calories I'm actually burning so I can make the most of my time at the gym!

    Struggles:
    - Logging all of my food into Myfitnesspal (I will do better this week for sure!)
    - Eating way more carbs than my macros allowed
    - Not getting enough sleep

    Successes:
    - I reached almost all of my goals this week!
    - I hid my scale so I didn't weigh myself the entire week (except last Tuesday)
    - I walked to the gym every single day! Luckily the weather was nice

    Thank you. We were at the in-laws house and we went out to eat and I just made some very poor decisions. And then my kids made me a dessert and I felt I couldn't tell them no after they worked so hard.
