Comments:
Not sure why, but I was exhausted all day today. Everything was an effort, especially the workout. Proud to have made it through the week, though. I feel like I'm making progress. Clothes are starting to feel a little looser which is great. I know the meals will be close to the same next week, but I'm hoping for a little more variety -- and maybe some different options. Going to try to plan for this next week better by using Sunday to prepare as much food as possible and chop veggies and fruit so that putting meals together goes faster than it did this past week.
