So, I said today would be better and clearly it wasn't. I've fallen into a bit of a slump. I definitely must get back on track if I want to reach my goal. I still have 5 weeks to lose 2% more bodyfat. I definitely think that is enough time. In my defense (lol), this diet plan I've been following is not super strict. I am allowing myself to have cheats here and there, although my "here and there" cheats have become too frequent. But, this is to show that it is possible to still reach your goals even if every single day and meal isn't perfect.

Weigh in: 138.4 lb, 20.6% bodyfat. (up .4 lb and up .4% bf)
My bad days are catching up with me. This week must be better if I want to have my numbers go in the downward direction vs. the upward direction.

Rundown: Ok, so all the snacks were definitely on the diet. I gave in. I do have weak moments. Sometimes several. So, to try and balance some of that out, I tried not to eat too much for the rest of the day. I still could probably have done without the toast at 10. Ah well. Tomorrow will better.

No workout today.
