    Thanks its definitely been rough at times but my little girls support me. They deserve the best i can give them and cant do that if im drunk or dead lol. Struggling with the last bit of weight though workout five days a week right now but cant seem to break this plateau started doing hiit in the morning before work and lifting weights like normal in the evening. And running when i can but i only get to do that on Wednesday's cause of childcare issues. Week ago came in mile and a half short of running a half marathon for the first time.

    Well i guess i cant really call it a plateau i always bounce 5 pounds either way. Averaging between. 1500-1800 range for calories every week do five day split with my lifting routine 15-30 fasted cardio in the am and 45-60 minutes of lifting in the pm. Get plenty of protein and keep my fats and sugars low.

    No mfp gave me a goal of 2300 a day but thats what i was eating for maintenance using a different app to track macros and calories. Unless i messed something up lol. I would like to lose 2 pounds a week is my goal. Everything i eat is weighed and pre portioned out so i know im not mesing up there. Only thing is i know i need more sleep but there isnt the time. I get between 4-6 hours on workdays and seven on my weekends off
