End of Week 3 Update

So in the 3rd week – I changed this up to see how I did. I stopped weighing myself every morning, I added in some new workouts at the gym, and allowed myself to treat through the week. I gained NO weight in that week. I weighed in last night to make sure. I also took a break from videos. From today on out – I’ll be back to video taping myself but only weighing in once a week. This is my end of the month week.

Then – the challenge really kicks in. I now have a good habit set up as far as eating goes, I begin hitting the gym every chance I get, along with working out at home! This should jump start my weight loss. I need to focus again and get back into it.

I feel like I could have lost more weight but I gave myself the break anyways. I’ll be harder this month because I need to be.
