My Thoughts:
Today, nutritionally this was an "ok" kind of day. I'm doing what I usually do and maintaining my current weight... I certainly didn't do anything towards weight loss per say except make a plan to fit exercise in to my daily routine. I'd like to cut back on my calorie intake, but for now, I'm going to focus on quality of my calories and making exercise a DAILY habit.
In the past I've gotten so focus on "looking better" for being the reason I would work out... this time I'm trying to remember all the other gazillion reasons I want to work out (like long term health and well being!) I'll keep you posted.
Warmly,
Christina
