Week 5 weigh-in

16 May

First, I want to apologise for not posting for the last couple weeks. My 9-5 job has been keeping me way busier than I would like, which unfortunately means a lot of working late and not wanting to type another word once I’m done for the night.

Week two weigh in

I had my second weigh in last night, which was a 1.5 pound loss. I was quite happy with that, as my home scales hadn’t been so generous!
