This week's successes: I drank more water than I have been. I also started building an enclosure on my balcony for my cats. It’s a fun project and I think my cats will enjoy it hehe 😸
This week's challenges: I’m in the last two weeks of my undergrad! Trying to stay active and eat well while finishing everything up will be challenging. I’ve chosen to eat at maintenance for the next two weeks to be nice to myself, and since I’m close to halfway to my goal weight.

This week's successes: I did my first Youtube kickboxing workout this week. It was challenging, but the hardest thing was really following the step-and-punch/kick sequence more than the actual moves themselves - coordination has never been my strongest suit, so I'm also hoping to see a general improvement there.

This week's challenges: The lunches I made for this week turned out pretty light (cabbage rolls, only about 150cal for 2 of them), so I've had a LOT of room for snacks, which is a double-edged sword. I rounded out the cabbage rolls with stuff like hard-boiled eggs, oranges, and protein bars/peanut butter crackers. I've done well enough this week but every step of it was pretty fraught. I caught myself watching the clock and counting down minutes until it was time for a snack, because I decided to try spreading my lunch out throughout the day. I'm not sure if it's really working or not.

This week's successes: I was able to preplan the whole week, soup to nuts, snacks included, and that really helped curb impulsive snacking, I think. Since every calorie was already spoken for, it changed the question from "what can I nosh on?" to "when can I nosh on the [crackers/orange/cheese/whatever] that I planned to eat today?"

This week's challenges: This week went pretty smoothly, all things considered.
