Thoughts: Ready to give it my 110% effort. I lost 1 pound last week even slacking off some, so I know I can lose another 1-2 this week if I give it my all. Striving to really stick to cardio. Not as worried about weights right now. Really energized to step it up and stick to getting healthy!

Thoughts: Decided to do weights at the gym tonight. Also going to make my casserole for some lunches this week. Feeling a little blah today, but not going to stray from today's plan.

Goals for this week:
*4 Days Cardio, 2 Days Weight Lifting (Cardio - M,W - 2; Weights - 0)
*1 Dinner out (M,T,F), 1 Lunch out (Th), 1 Weekend out (Sa)

My Thoughts/Week Summary:
Feeling 110% about this week! Hit the gym early this morning. No excuses for not hitting the gym every morning this week. Allowing for 3 days off cardio though. Started on Friday, so it's a blah day.

So-so weekend. Didn't get as much cardio in as I should have and didn't get any weights in.
