Yay, I don't get as many points anymore! lol That makes me happy because that means I'm almost at my first goal! Son woke early, sick, so I ate a bar. Plus, still on the time of the month, so it's my chocolate. Made a dumb mistake which put me over. I kept snacking on these onion crisp things because I'm craving sweet and salty, and I forgot to mark a number of times I ate them ugh. So I'm adding the points for yesterday (putting me over my points :( for the day)

This week I discovered a number of things. I snack on the kids food when I'm hungry. I got a number of snacks for myself at the store, in the hopes of stopping this habit. I've started challenging myself to at least one really tough exercise day per month. I'll be posting my results here on the page called latest workout challenge.
Hopefully all my hard work will pay off this month, and my cravings won't tank my progress. Wish me luck.
