You are steady making progress. You are consistent. You have to be doing a lot of things right in order for that to happen. That's something to be proud about. You are doing well.

This week's successes: I decided on better lunch ideas and came up with a weekly menu to make things easier (it costs more, but better for me). Instead of just going by my daily deficit, I decided to track my weekly deficit as well - it seems to help on days where I know I'll eat over my goal (lunch meeting at work for example) but I know I can still meet my deficit over the 7 day period. I've been hard on myself on days where I eat over my calorie goal, but now I just know I really can do better without feeling like I've wasted an entire week of work.

This week's challenges: I've been unable to workout (other than seated exercises) for a couple weeks now and even though the doctor finally cleared me for light walking I find myself not enjoying it as much as I used to. I think part of it is because I can't do my normal walk/jog/run routine that I love, and also, honestly, a small part of me was starting to enjoy having excuse to not have to do much physical activity - I have to get out of that mindset though or it'll be really hard to start again when I'm able to do more (hopefully only a few more weeks!).

I’m in.
