Anniversary Challenge: Week 2 Recap

Well friends, this was another fail of a week as far as eating within my nutrition ranges and losing weight. 

Remember that day when all I wanted to do was stay in bed? Well turns out it was because I was coming down with something. I wasn’t well for a couple days and when I did get well again, I wasn’t focused on tracking nutrition and just let the week go in that regard.

The all-or-nothing tendencies in me are saying just to call it quits. But, I have decided to keep going, even if I don’t succeed.
