how is everyone doing?

I'll check-in first!

I exercised for the first time in 2 weeks (I do cardio with 12 lb weights and a 14' step) While the cardio part was fine, I'm definitely weaker, and expect to be sore by tonight, despite stretching a lot....

soreness is better than atrophying to a shapeless lump!

Food wise, nothing special, but my normal diet is rather modest in the carb, fat, and portion size anyway...
Overall, a good day!

So, how did YOU do?

LOL - i know exactly what you're talking about - which is why i don't keep anything sugary/chocolatey/ice creamy in the house. because i would've been much happier eating THAT at 11pm than a turkey sandwich

Ugh! I skipped the gym today. I feel so guilty since my first dress fitting is tomorrow. Wish me luck girls!!!! The dress was a little big when it came in. I'm hoping tomorrow it's a lot big!

I am back on diet and excersize hard core!

Yesterday morning I ran 2 miles and ate a banana, ww bread and low fat american cheese with 100 calorie snack pack. Then for dinner I had tacos at my mom's (no sour cream and light cheese). 3 x 32 oz water bottles

Today, this morning I walked 3.5 miles and ate a banana, ww bread and low fat american cheese with a 100 calorie snack pack (pringles) and some grapes. No dinner yet but I have drank 2.5 x 32oz water bottles.

I joined self.com. I know some other ladies on here did too. You can keep an exercise log on there. Last week I burned 965 calories at the gym, on the treadmill, bike, and eliptical machine.
And this week, so far, I have burned 350 at the gym. I haven't stpped back on the scale yet though...I don't think it will say what I want it to say still.
But I do have alot more energy since I have been exercising!
