Week Eighteen

It was a slackers week, but a week never-the-less. Hoping to get back into the swing of things and really hit it hard this coming week. I am officially off my birth control (still preventing, so no one flip out on me and ask for pregnancy information monthly, lol), and am excited to see how that might affect things. If you don't know, one of the biggest complaints about hormonal birth control is weight gain. While using it, I've never been able to get under 148-150. The last time I got off it, I dropped to 137 without any exercise and just changing eating habits (although, I'll admit, they weren't the healthiest). So, with better food choices and being more active, this could be just what I needed to drop below this latest plateau. We'll see. Either way, I need to stop slacking off.

Monday Weigh-In: 153.6 (+1.4 lbs)

Monday and Thursday were babysitting days, so I worked out at night, Tues and Wed I knocked it out in the afternoon. I was really not feeling it all week. Friday was so bad, I didn't bother getting on at all. Not sure why, but my joints were really achy and I was in a horrible mood, so I said eff it and went to bed early. :/
