  Well that was... a bad month.
  Not making excuses but it really was a bad month.
  At the beginning of it, i wasn't eating enough, then this last week i've been over eating hugely!
  Food has become an addiction now so i've got my bf to help me.
  Now i have to ask him before i can eat and then if i dont ask/ dont eat enough then he knows and he can tell me to eat more... i thought it was a good plan :)

note for 10/17 - this is what happens when you skip the workouts for a whole week, kids! We'll see if I can at least make 1/2 my goal for the month...

Good luck ya'll!

10/24 - Highly depressing. I really don't know what's going here, but I'm thinking a combo of laziness and my husbands birthday. I mean, 4 freaking pounds?

I'll spend November getting back to my exercise routine and try again in December.
