    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!

    Total LBS lost so far: 3.4 (this is probably some water weight lost...and I went to the zoo and walked a ton this weekend.

    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!

    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.

    Total LBS lost so far: -4.9 lbs

    Weekly Goals:

    Drink 3 liters of water a day.
    Workout 6 days a week for 30 minutes minimum and have 1 rest day.
    Log into MFP every day.
    Be completely honest on my food diary (I would only be lying to myself)

    Struggles:
    This last week I struggled with getting in all my workouts. I allowed various things to be my excuse to just not do them or not give them my 100%. This week my struggle is going to be staying away from chocolate. Its that time of the month and everytime I get crazy chocolate cravings.

    Successes:
    The scale finally had a nice drop. Its been awhile. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out my CICO, my allowed calories in and my Macro percentages. I think I found a good spot for me FINALLY. As soon as my weight drop slows down I will adjust it again.

    I have mixed feelings about this weigh-in; it was mainly from me being sick but at least the scale moved in the right direction!

    Struggles:
    - Only got to workout twice this week
    - Being sick all week, no appetite

    Successes:
    - I hid my scale so I didn't weigh myself the entire week
    - I walked to the gym both times I went!
