    March 9th started out good.
    Exercise - yes, 60 min on treadmill and 30 min strength training, however, calories and logging went out the window as the evening went on.
    March 10th, Exercise - no, Within calories - no, and logging - no

    Weekends are so hard, and it seems once I've gone over my calories for the day, I give up and eat anything I want, telling myself I'll start over tomorrow. I sure hope I don't gain the weight back that I lost last week. I have three days until I have to weigh in and better make the best of them.

    Terry, I feel your pain!!! Once I have gone over, I tend to go into free-for-all mode. Why do we do that??? We need to remember that food is fuel, and we need to ask ourselves if we are really hungry, or just bored, frustrated, tired or whatever before we put something into our mouth!! And if we are not hungry we need to find something constructive to do!! We need to remember that you don't have to be "perfect" to have a good week overall. A few extra calories one day is not going to derail the whole week!! But free-for-alls just might, especially if they occur in multiples!!!! (You do realize this rant was as much for me, as it was for you!!) Let's kill it this week!!!

    Thanks @HASWLRS! You are so right. Instead of turning a few extra calories into a binge, I need to keep in mind the end goal. Your comments are very insightful and inspiring.

    Weigh in week: March Week 2
    Weigh in day: Monday
    Previous Week's weight: 158
    Todays Weight: 159

    Today's 1 pound gain was the result of a somewhat stressful last week that was completely off from my normal routine. Yesterday, rounded out that week with only a few hours of sleep Saturday night. This week, while not a completely normal schedule, should be far better and the cortisol levels more normal.

    Also this week, I had already planned to change things up a bit. I will be more focused on a strength training schedule and on better success with weekly meal planning and execution of said plan.

    You are doing great, team! I’m happy for all of your weight loss and effort with the mini challenge! I didn’t do well at all this weekend, between birthday parties and my kids getting sick, I just kinda put myself on the back burner. You know how we do, moms. Today I am tracking again and have a good workout planned for this afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good Monday so far!

    Tracking: No
    Calories: Maybe
    Exercise: No

    This is going to be a super busy week. I'm also going to be changing up my exercise. This week I'm working extra hard to do my menu planning and to stick to cooking those planned meals.

    Best of luck this week. Unfortunately, every week can't be stellar!! Do the best you can!!!

    Crap crap crap. This weekend has been busy and I totally forgot to post my weight. Am I too late?? If I am, I'll stick around and motivate when I can!

    Yes, you missed your weigh-in, but you have only missed one. So, if you weigh-in this Friday, you'll still be on the team!! And if you think it will be another busy one, weigh-in a day early, on Thursday.
