I actually worked out last night after work. I definitely need to learn how to program the machines properly. I did get my heart rate up to my target. I feel I did fairly well on my diet log. I am certainly not use to the carb counting, etc. One of the biggest challenges I knew I would have was to find time for everything I have committed to doing. I am determined to set aside tomorrow and work up a menu plan for a month and then shop accordingly. Another thing to do is to stretch out after I work out. I had leg cramps all last night, quite annoying. I feel better this morning which is good because I will be at work until 2130 ( I teach a prenatal class after my regular shift). I enjoy reading your blogs. They give me so much to think about.
