Successes/struggles of the week: Had my best indoor AND outdoor runs this past week!
Setting myself to .5 less a week to get to my lower maintenance messed with my head a bit at first and last week was rough, but this week I am feeling motivated and happy. Just need to remember to include treats often in my logging and counts! I was focused on food as fuel solely and saying “no” to small treats is never a good idea!

Successes/struggles of the week: My average weights for this past week remained on the higher end. I never quite got rid of water weight from last weekend's indulgences, and then I had takeout on Monday which spiked my weight up quite a bit again. I'm back down to 112 today, but with another takeout dinner with my boyfriend tonight, and brunch tomorrow, I expect that my weight will remain on the higher side still.5 -

Success of the week: I discovered some fun new (to me) foods to cook. I pan fried some apples of all things. I even had a fresh bagel - it's been months.
Struggle of the week: I had a bout of emotional eating. I did get through it. So far. It's not over yet.

Successes/struggles of the week: Grateful that the weather was nice enough to get 2 outdoor runs in this past week. I really don’t like being on a treadmill.
Doing okay working towards the lower end of maintenance and glad I have the happy scale app to smooth out. My weight fluctuates SO much throughout the week (+/- 4 lbs on any given day despite eating mostly the same things) that seeing a regular line is really helpful.2 -

Success of the week: Not really a personal "success" per se, but a success because I made it around the year to now again. I got to see the sun set on my bike ride home from work one day this week. Might be the only day. It will set later next week, so I might be already home or past the places I can view it. It's also just a little bit light when I head off to work in the morning. The sun doesn't rise until after I get to work, but it's a little light. That will change when we reset the clocks in a few weeks, at least for another couple weeks.
Struggle of the week: I don't want to write about it.

Note for the week: My bike commute continues to be faster most days unless I'm just taking it slow which is also nice. A friend keeps giving me produce from her CSA box because she is only one person and can't eat it all. I get to cook and share some of what I cook because... I can't eat it all. Win for everyone. But it seems I'm enjoying all that food a little too much.

I am expecting a weight drop next week. 1 -
