    NSV - Sunday I wore a bathing suit that didn't hide my thighs. Initially I was proud of myself when I put it on, then I was embarrassed because it was not very supportive on top either lol, and I almost talked myself out of wearing it. And I decided, I'm going to the pool for me. Not for anyone else and their judging, glaring eyes. If you don't like what I look like...LOOK AWAY....cause I'm here to stay!

    That is so awesome, that is a huge victory. You have to live your life for you, people are going to have an opinion no matter what, you can't let it stop you from enjoying yourself.

    Weight -/+ this month: -.5

    Successes / struggles this week: I was gone on vacation for the past 8 days so I'm late to weigh in. I debated skipping weigh-in this week and waiting until Monday to let some post-vacation bloat settle. I adjusted my calorie limit (moved up to only 1/2 lb loss per week) and committed to be active for 20 minutes every day. And I actually stuck to my calories all but one day and exercised! Usually I go into 'vacation-mode' and anything goes. So I'm really happy to see a loss no matter how small. The scale may be moving slower than I'd like but overall I'm feeling great and happy with some changes in habits.

    Successes / struggles this week: I am just getting started (again) and I need to get my *kitten* together... I know what I have to do, but I have to get my head in the game. Checking in and staying accountable is necessary for my success so here I am. I got off the couch last night and put in a 30 minute workout and got up this morning and got to a jazzercise class. Win! Now I just need to stay away from the sugary treats and make sure everything I grab has value!

    I have lost motivation this week I haven't been logging my food or really paying attention or working out. Pure laziness is to blame and I gained 3 pounds because of it. So today I started fresh and am getting back on track. I have big goals and need to stay focused! I've lost almost 18 ibs since June 1st and don't want to mess it up now :) ok rant over.

    Successes / struggles this week: For successes, I've rediscovered how much fun it is to run around on trails and to stop letting my weight (and fear of bathing suits) keep me from doing fun things like tubing down a river. I had the best weekend because I stopped caring about what I looked like and just focused on fun with great people.

    Successes / struggles this week: weekends i seem to lose focus also i have kids and its hard to not munch on there junk i was drinking energy drinks alot

    ENERGY drinks are a big NO as they contain hidden form of sugar in them to give you that insulin boost. Munch on healthy snacks like a bag of carrots/edamamme/Crunchy brown rice rollers from Costco. Drinking water also helps keep you full. Regular green tea helps with detox and keeps your weight in check. GOOD LUCK!
