So as you can see from my tracking this month, my intake is all over the place and my levels are higher. I thought I was doing well during the week then I would get the results back and was horribly disappointed.  Its my first full month in my night line and I know my body is going through an adjustment period. with my sleep and eating being seriously changed. I am hoping now that I have gone back and looked at what I was doing I will learn from it and take it into consideration when going forward. Although April is not starting out to well with all my days over 400. even reaching 500 again. But I feel like I am not eating that much food for it to be that high. Obviosuly on the very high days that where 500 and over you can tell I had sushi. So my goal for this month is no sushi. I know thats going to be my biggest challenge. I am already craving it and been dying to go all week. But I know I did break my rice addiction and my oatmeal addiction so I am going to have do to this too. For my body. and for me. 

I have started my green smoothie challenge again for April as well, though its all good nutrients it is adding to my daily bottom line. 

However I did my measurements and weigh on April first to see how my progress in march effected it and I was surprised to see march alone i lost 3.2 lbs and another 4.5 inches. Bringing my total to 5.4 lbs down and 13.5 inches lost since January 1st.  That was a very cool validation. I am hoping my weight is finally on its way down and I am happy with the inches. I have had a few people comment but had not seen it for myself until I compared full length photos of myself from January to now. 

These month end summery’s are really helping me to stay focused. They teach me alot to and help me set my goals for next month. By reflecting and looking back and reading through my note book I can see what I did and if I need to change or tweek something. I also write down little notes like If I ate out, if I had company over, where I was in my work rotation and times that I am eating.  I have been tracking for 4 months now and I really want to stick with it. My goals for April are no sushi, more water, more activity ( as always) but also to keep calories under 1800 and keep my intake under 400.  

Soft ball was canceled so right now my weeks are looking like, Tuesday morning yoga, Wednesday morning, circuit  Thursday morning walk or hiking, with yoga in the afternoons. Fridays I go back to work so maybe a swim or walk in the day time before I nap. I work mostly friday, saturday, sunday and monday nights. With the occsional thursday this month too. Thursday nights before shift I plan to go to the gym. 

well thats all for now! Thanks for reading!
