    Hopefully the lack of losing is due to imminent TOM (sorry, if TMI). Here's hoping for a better week next week!

    I guess I should have expected this after my weekend but it is still upsetting that I can't seem to get out of the 190's. I am super frustrated so I am off to work out.

    CONGRATS to everyone for completing the first week!!!!!

    Checking in: I didn't weigh myself, but I did meet my personal goals, which were to continue my current exercise regimen and to (a) make my food diary public; and (b) actually record what I eat. I obsess over the number on the scale and think that this may be a little unhealthy. I'm at a very healthy weight and struggle with the fact that I'm about 8 lbs heavier than I was in law school. Of course, that was 7 years and a baby ago!

    Should have taken measurements but I didn't... but my clothes are getting loose and I was able to pull some new ones out of the closet that didn't fit a couple months ago. :happy:

    Personal Goal Format
    =================
    Month’s Goal:
    1. Finish week 5 of C25K by end of the month
    2. Reduce daily sugar intake (this is pretty subjective but I'm gonna start monitoring it better in my diary)
    Week 2: PROGRESS:
    1. Started week 3 yesterday - killer, but I'm sticking with it!
    2. Down a little but still too much in a day. Can't give up my morning latte that's almost a full day's sugar. :noway:

    Been trying to do all the challenges and those have pushed me further than I would have gone on my own. Keep it coming Kate!!

    My goal was to exercise 3 x's a week as I'm starting from basically none. I didn't "exercise" 3 x's a week but I have increased my activity this past week.

    This week I will actually do something exercise related no less than 3 x's. :D
