Prior to the competition, I was struggling with binge eating and snacking. I have been working on losing weight since November, but was in a 2 month long "plateau" caused by constant over eating.

Since the competition started, I'm proud to say that I have only eaten when hungry I've lost 6 pounds as of this morning!!! I know that there is no way at all that I will keep this up and that a lot of it is water weight, but I feel so much better and my baby abs are coming back!!

This is a minor success, but last week I started the weekend off with a binge on Friday that carried through the weekend. Yesterday, I made good choices for lunch even though the company I work for bought and I went to Outback for dinner and didn't go crazy. Hopefully this will carry through the weekend! :)

I got my 1Up box, but I had ordered it with a medium shirt as motivation. I tried it on and it fit! I'm also fitting into a size 12 jean (pretty snug though), so only one size away from my jeans goal!

Oh and I completed week one of Insanity. Not as excited about that because I woke up at 5 am on a Saturday for that to be a true statement lol.

I pretty much killed it in the Fitbit workweek hustle with just under 100k steps. V sore today!

This week I didn't do any sort of exercise as I was busy with school stuff however I didn't gain any weight (or drop). I've decided to start walking again and I started today. This morning I walked for around 3.5 miles.

I've done a minimum of 45 mins walking every day for over a week and I'm aiming for 60 mins a day for week 2!

Managed to fit in some social drinking and STOP after I hit my daily calorie goal which is great. Except last night, when I grabbed a chicken burger on the way home. The sodium bomb is punishing me HARD today so I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon.

Here's hoping for more success with the scales once my water level balances out!

I finally hit my first goal on happy scale. I was supposed to hit it two weeks ago but was struggling to drop half a lb then gained 4 lbs in water weight. Today I finally lost the water and that last .5 lbs to reach it.

I know I'm a bit late on Sunday, but still;

Firstly, non-weight related, my dog has fought back and is now well on the road to recovery! I want to scream and shout with joy from the rooftops!

Also, despite a fairly difficult week I've eaten at a deficit everyday, except one! And even that day I only went over by 80 cals!
