Time for my weekly Friday check-in… I gained 1.4# this week. 🙁

Obviously you can see the difference between the weeks where I track my calories and eat the proper amounts and the week I go off the deep end for 2 days and go over 4 of the 5 days I did track. Yikes.
No huge excuses; it was just the last weekend the mountain was open and we were partying and I wasn’t being mindful enough during the week. Time to buckle down again. I had a great workout this morning (30 min. on the elliptical and a 40 min. floor aerobics video) and I like when I can start the day off like that.
I love that you hold yourself accountable, and let us do the same. It's really motivating. It is.
I haven't been working out and I can tell 🙁 I also stopped the diet as I am celebrating my birthday the next couple weeks (yes weeks). It really does make a difference when you keep track of your calories…I like doing that because you see what you are really eating!
