Plus, my friend gave me the best almond cake recipe and I have made it several times, it is so good. This is not the way January was supposed to go! I must refocus for the remainder of the month.

Great to see some losses, hoping it continues. I finally got back into the gym and it feels fantastic to be back in a routine again. Definitely had some muscle loss after my holiday hiatus but will just have to work even harder to make up for it.

Wednesday and Thursday I ate my 4 servings of veggies. This is something I have been missing in my diet, healthy and low calories to keep me full
Yesterday, for my birthday party freezing rain canceled my ice cream party.
So we’ll be rescheduling.

Was good this week until yesterday I had a big mac, fries, ice cream and a cookie!!!
But the scaled moved back down going the right way. Have to be good tho, that junk food will make it creep back up.
WEEKLY WEIGH IN DAY Jan 14 189.4
Logged in all my foods this week. Down one pound from last week Eating no more than 1300 ish calories per day. Most days satisified some times hungry . Since start of challenge have only lost 0.4 a little less than a half pound. One good thing I didnt gain at this point in time over this holiday season. I will try to make most of last two weeks Ruby!!!
WEEKLY WEIGH IN DAYJan 21 190.4
Had hoped for a loss. I had gone down to 188.2 earlier this week but too much cake and ice cream did me in so I gained a pound from last week. Going to buckle down this week.
