Week 4 - already!! My most difficult hurdle to over come is to make time for exercise on a routine basis. It is becoming easier. Last week I took walks (hills included) and felt I got a good cardio workout. Tonight I worked out at the wellness center and concentrated on strenthening. My goal is to workout 6 days this week-no matter what!

I am doing well with the food things, except for today when I got tired and frustrated at work and got the munchies. I am proud that I didn't go overboard. I kept food logs for five days last week. My son's girlfriend was able to use two of the days for one of her nutrition class projects. She has access to a computer program that analyses everything that you eat. I was pleasantly surprised that I am very close to my 1400 suggested caloric intake and just need to tweak carb and proteins a little. I don't look up calories, just eating healthier and watching my portions. I have rediscovered how much I love to cook. I love mixing a lot of colors together and using fresh herbs from my garden. My extended family is very supportive and trying to do some of the things I am working on.

I have lost weight and inches. Ya-hoo.
