Monday 3/11/13 - 197.4
Monday 3/18/13 - 188.8
Monday 3/25/13 - 184.0
I had two cheat days to finish off the week. I finished off two pounds up. so I'm stating this Monday at 186.0, Tues 183.8, Wed 184.2, Thurs 183.2
1) Lose 3 pounds -2.8
2) 100+ ounces of water per day yes, yes, yes
3) post daily yes, yes, yes
4) take all vitamins daily yes, yes, yes
You can clearly see when I had my first cheat (a week and a half ago) the recently my back to back cheat days. I'm still recovering from it. I'm moving in the right direction and keeping pace to make my goal. I have been following my diet EXCEPT for the occasional PB&J, and yesterday I had muffins.

I have been having a really high stress month....good thing is when im stressed I cant eat. Bad thing is....I cant eat. Food has been repulsing me the last few days, and Im starting to feel it. I added a multivitamin to my routine and have a few protein shakes at work to try and chug down when I have a minute.
$1100 vet bill last night definately didnt help how ive been feeling....

To all of you where it’s so cold - stay warm!
Kali - ouch! about the vet bill. Is your pet ok?
Jenn - eat an apple or some carrot sticks now!
Epi - 4-wk average is an interesting way to go. I think for now I need to stick with daily/weekly trends.
Cassie - you must be really busy this week. I just wanted to tell you that your advice to not give into my plateau was just what I needed to hear - it really did strengthen my resolve to fight through it.
***
1. Calories under 1200 (I've lowered it this week) 987, 1253, 962
2. An hour extra movement a day Y, Y, N
3. No sugar, white flour Y, Y, Y
4. Small bites and put fork down between bites.-Working on it and I'm remembering to do it more often.

I'm Back!
Hi everyone! Man, I've been gone awhile. When I found out I got the new job, I stressed over moving, two graduate classes to continue with, and a new job. Lots on my mind, and I lost track of this...
Last week my grad classes finished up, and I am taking the next term off to adjust to my new surroundings. Denver, CO is gorgeous!! I love the job I'm at as well! I have a friend from college living here too, so at least I know someone. Been here a little more than a month now.
Good thing is my college friend is big on working out. I've been getting into a gym routine, working on my cardiovascular by running. Easter Sunday I was invited to go walking with him and some of his friends - an 8 mile walk!! I was very dead by the end of that! lol BUT! I MADE IT!
And that's what counts to me.
I just got on a scale today for the first time since I left, and at least I'm down, albeit only 3 pounds. But this trend will continue. I have a more active lifestyle, and I won't give up so easily! Come June I'll be starting Insanity and by fall I hope to be in Capoeria classes. Have a black belt in Shaolin Kenpo and I want to try something new!
Okay, that should be way more than enough!
All the best to everyone. I love seeing familiar faces - and new ones too! I am working on the exercise portion - now it's time to keep an eye on my food intake again. Even healthy food can be unhealthy if not in moderation. (As I have noticed as I logged my food today...)
Goals for the last bit of this week is sticking with my running, eating less than 1800 calories, and keeping my spirits high!
Best,
Krystal

Who tried with a Limerick to say
Tho' she couldn't rhyme,
Just didn't have time!
This is just my poem for today.
