All in all this week just wasn't a good one for me. I was ill for almost 3 days and hadn't worked out or really ate, but I didn't gain any weight or size, so I believe that is great. This week I am going to get my act together and get back at it.

I still have lots of work to do, but seeing that I am making progress really makes me happy. I know I can lose more, but my eating habits still aren’t very good and that is something I am working on this week. I can’t wait to see what the next 3 wks has in store if I can get my eating habits under control. To help with this, I just printed out my BB meal plan and my husband just went shopping, so the only food that will be in our house is the week’s meal plan food. I know this will help a ton and I’m ready for big changes.
