    3/28
    Tracking- yes
    Calories- yes
    Exercise- yes, 29 mins Focus T25

    I don't think we have any big plans for Easter this year, but we do have a few family birthdays in the days leading up to Easter. My parents typically host the big holiday dinners but they're taking my oldest to Disneyland for spring break on Monday so I don't think they're up for a big dinner. I haven't bought too many treats so I'm just hoping to control myself with all the sweets my kids will get at egg hunts!

    Usually the chocolate eggs from egg hunts are inferior quality chocolate. Remind yourself of that before you reach for one!! They're not going to be decadent enough to warrant the extra calories!! No grandchildren yet (my boy don't even have girlfriends!) but just the other morning my husband and I were talking about how we are ready to take them to Disney World. When we took the boys they were 10 and 8 already, so we didn't spend a lot of time in Magic Kingdom!

    @HASWLRS I am going out of town tomorrow and will be gone every weekend for the month of April. I plan to come back to the challenge for may. Can you automatically enroll me or do I need to sign on and re-join? Thank you!

    What if I just ask Craig to put you in the Cheer Squad for April? Then, before May starts, you will just weigh in with a starting weight?

    Current weight: 133.8

    To be honest, I have completely fallen off the wagon as far as logging and watching calories goes. I have still been exercising fairly regularly, which may be why the scale is still moving (super slowly) in the right direction, but I am feeling annoyed with myself. I think it all started when I got the flu and got out of the habit of tracking for a week or so. I have a long list of excuses, but I’ll spare you... for some reason, I just can’t seem to get it together! What do you all do when your motivation, and especially your follow-through, is lacking??
    I am close to my goal but I would like to go ahead and push toward the goal, not stay stuck in the same spot.

    I wish I could say I have a plan or something for eating at Easter, but truth be told I never log on holidays or special occasions. It’s just too hard.

    Sorry for the bummer post! On another note, we have been enjoying spring break and lots of outings and play dates with friends :smile:

    Weigh-in day
    175.7 down almost 2 lbs.

    I made it to the gym 3 days to lift weights and lots more golf :)
    I got in 2 and 1/2 rounds so far. 1 planned for tomorrow.

    Easter: ham and carrot cake are my two favorite foods, so I am not going to log my food, but be mindful and enjoy in moderation. I want to keep moving forward!

    Good night, team. I don't have the energy to comment, but I've read everything and entered weights where necessary. Today was a lot of cleaning. Tomorrow I have a family dinner, so I'll see you all tomorrow night or Sunday.
