1. I'm trying to eat healthier and cut way back on junk and alcohol. I've also noticed some changes in my muscle tone so that is very exciting.
2. I weighed in today and didn't lose any weight this week.
3. I took today to give myself a pity party but I didn't go overboard and I'm just going to get back on track tomorrow.
4. My stomach is definitely my biggest problem area! I've been doing more abs and core work to try to get the muscles strong, which is also really great for my back. I'm hoping losing some weight and the ab work with shrink my gut a little bit.

I am joining in!
1. I just started trying to be healthier recently. In March I started jogging to get ready for a 5k my friend made me sign up for. I have worked up to running 4 miles. I have never ran that much in my life. The 5k is this weekend and I have already signed up for another one for next month to keep me motivated. I was still making bad choices about food though, so this past week I also started tracking what I was eating on My Fitness Plan. I feel so much healthier this week. I am feeling good about all this.
2. No movement on the scale, but at least in feel better, and that is really why I am doing this.
3. I plan on taking light runs today and tomorrow, then do yard work on Saturday. Then on Sunday I have my first 5k. I am also keeping track of my calories. I have decided that I am going to take this slowly this time. I tend to do crash diets and give up too soon. I don't want to do that this time. I am so proud of what I have accomplished in my running and I only want to grow it.
4. My biggest problem area is actually how I see myself. I feel like I have unrealistic expectations of how I should look. I am not overweight, but I always feel uncomfortable in my body. I remember feeling fat in high school when I super tiny. Feeling fat seemed like a self fulfilling prophecy. I felt fat and bad about myself so I ate poorly. I am trying to change this by not focusing on the scale as much this time. Instead I am focusing on being healthy.

1. the good still on the eating healthy and working out every day plan and it's been going really well.  I've been making some meals outside of my norm as well.  At one point I was almost 5 lbs down. That even included going out for Mother's day things, I just made good decision while I was there.
2. the bad I've had a few slip ups, which I'm ok with. I had 2 days where I had a soda and then I had some puffcorn for a snack with Hanna in the evening
3. What is your plan for the week? Continue on, and stay on track during my scrapbooking weekend
4. GTKY- What do you consider your biggest problem area? Sticking to a consistent workout regimin. I give up and just stop working out. I need to focus on 3-4 days a week. I don't like the every day, but I think 3-4 days would be more realistic.
