Alright, well, this week has been pretty crazy. School is starting to really become overwhelming and all I can do is focus on when Spring Break will be here. Not to mention, the weather has been pretty crazy so that makes it hard to want to go outside and workout. Anyway, I have NO EXCUSES, I didn't do nearly as well as I would have liked to this week but I still lost 1 pound. Once again, I didn't exercise as often as I know I should have (I only worked out twice this week!) but I stills stayed within my daily points allowance as well as my weekly points. I did use every single one of my weekly points this week because the cold weather made me want to eat more (why does it do that???) but I still made healthier choices.
So, this next week, I am going to have to kick it up a bit. My goal is to lose 3 pounds this week. It is going to be hard but if I can exercise at least 3 days this week and make sure all of my "healthy checks" are completed everyday, then I think I can do it. I also start clinicals this week so hopefully all of the running around on Wednesday and Thursday will help out too! Can't wait to let everyone know how this week goes.

Katie's Week 2 in Review
Not a very good week! I did really well as far as my points go. Thanks to my weight loss last week, I dropped down to 34 POINTS PLUS a day and I did use all but 5 of my weekly allowed points, but still, I get on the scale and a whopping .2 lbs is all I am down. I am very discouraged. I feel very down and to be honest, I wanna go eat a large stack of pancakes from IHOP with a side of ANYTHING FATTENING AND YUMMY! But, I’m not going to…. Daley pointed out today that at least I didn’t gain. Very true! And I’m trying to stay positive and remember that any loss is in fact, a loss. I wasn’t even going for an outta control number. My goal this week was 2 pounds, defiantly not anything close to the .2 that the scale showed me ;(
But, I’m also looking at this like a test of will and I WILL NOT FAIL! Maybe it’s that whole “2nd week curse” I read so much about. After looking a little closer at my journal and tracking log, I did discover a few things about last week. First, I am not drinking near enough water and second, I never hit all my checks on the healthy checks. So, this week, same goal of two pounds and I want to hit all my healthy checks. Eight to ten glasses of water, and all of my fruits and veggies daily. I am NOT giving up like I normally do after a set back like this. I’m so excited for Daley and her 4.8 pound loss too. It is wonderful that both of us didn’t have a bad week because no doubt, without her pep talk this morning, I’d be sitting at IHOP this very minute.
