Week 12 results - Slowly but Surely

Things slowed down in March but I am still moving in the right direction. Had a few hiccups this month, eating out, chips and salsa, mexican food, ice cream sundae... the good neews, is that nothing was done in excess, didn't go crazy, didn't lose it, and most importantly I kept moving. This last week, I didnt make it to the gym much however, I kept walking so that is a good thing. So let's take a look:
