    Ugh I need to take a look at what I am eating because lately I am SO hungry all the time!!! I'm getting enough fat and protein so I don't know what's going on, must be hormonal!

    Sounds like you're eating well. I wonder if it's how the brain works. I notice I eat a lot, especially in the evening, when my body couldn't possibly be hungry because I've just had a good size meal. Perhaps it takes a while for our brains to adjust to our new way of eating.

    It could be that, but it's really annoying as it's affecting my workouts! No energy!

    Ack I forgot to check-in! Tattoo went well, been kinda antsy with no workouts this week so I did as much walking as I could. I posted my tattoo on my wall if you are curious.

    My weight has been fluctuating all over the place lately but this morning I finally got a whoosh, hopefully it sticks around but I expect to gain some water weight as I am going out with friends on Friday. I've been saving an extra 50-100 calories a day so I can have desert and a drink or 2 with my salad, it's gonna be sooo worth it, their deserts are AMAZING! They have this amazing plate that has a mini crème brulée, small scoop of ice cream, small brownie, and it comes with an espresso! But mostly I am excited to hang out with my friends :)

    As of today:

    SW on this challenge: 322.0
    CW: 317.0
    -5 lbs

    GW for this challenge: get back under 300

    Been struggling this week with a lat injury AND I set myself up for failure by not meal prepping/going grocery shopping. However, I still count it as a win because I logged everything this week - even when I knew I was going to be over on my cals and am still down, even though it's not a lot! Planning to do better next week!

    It takes time, and it's so difficult to wait (at least that's been my experience). But let's hang in there and keep going!

    I've been fluctuating between the 149's and 148's all week so I probably lost more than .2, either way I'm getting really close to the upper range of my goal!!!
