    Weigh in day. Not much on the scale but quite a bit in measurements. I’ll take it!! I honestly wasn’t expecting a loss as its that TOM and I’ve been snacking like crazy this week. On top of that, went out to eat for our anniversary last night so I was thinking I would have water weight.

    Daily check in: Friday
    Calories: No - 3/7
    Tracked: No - 5/7
    Exercised: Yes - 5/7
    Water: Yes - 5/7

    Weekly Steps:

    Sunday: 7,636
    Monday: 23,053
    Tuesday: 19,409
    Wednesday: 19,201
    Thursday: 15,856

    Well, I didn’t do the best this week. I gave into my cravings and filled up my extra calories with sugary foods, and I think that’s why my weight loss wasn’t optimal this week. Well, hopefully I’ll will have learned from this lesson and do better next week. Cheers to a new start!

    Friday 13th-
    Break day!
    I did keep up with my water and exercise (5 miles), though!

    That's a good strategy..keeping up with your exercise and your water if you are going to take a break from logging and eating at a deficit. Conversely, if it's a break day from exercise, eating at a deficit should be your goal. If it's a complete break day, well, then just don't go too crazy with the food!!

    I still have yoga and strength training to complete for tomorrow. This week has been heavy on the cardio since I had to get in 12.8mi for another challenge I am a part of. Reached the goal but it has been BRUTAL!

    I am sure your team appreciates your effort!! And cardio burns calories, so hopefully the scale will appreciate your effort as well!!

    If you learned something, and you didn't gain any weight, then it was a good week!! Putting it into practice next week is your new objective!!

    You have been working hard, so muscles growing and retaining water makes sense, which would account for the scales creeping up ever so slightly. Good for you for focusing on your "gains" this week, instead of your losses!!

    I just ran my first ever 5k! I finished in 36:30

    Congratulations!!! Oh, Kate, I am soooo excited for you!!! What a great time for your first 5k!! I ran my first, and only, 5 k last year at the end of March and I remember that feeling of accomplishment and euphoria that I can sense in your post! I need to get back into it and run another 5k for sure!!! Do you have plans for an encore?

    You lost another pound this week...way to go!! After your big loss last week, I didn't know what you would see on the scales this week. Glad the scales were in a good mood!!
