    I hope that the time and effort that it took you to get to the gym will give you the incentive to do an hour of exercise. I went trying on dresses for an upcoming wedding in Sept and guess what, I am out of 2x and smack into XL .What a great feeling it is to know that all my efforts are paying off. I now have 7.6 lbs until oneDerland.

    Congrats on the new size, it's always a little nerve racking going for that smaller size but such a reward when it fits!!

    I got in an hour at the gym.

    Went out to eat yesterday to celebrate a birthday. Made myself workout yesterday morning so hopefully that helps with the damage.

    Still doing good on calories. Just taking it one day at a time :)

    I made it to the gym Saturday morning and even did a decent strength workout when I got home. Did not make to the gym on Sunday, but did reach my 6.5 mile step goal. No Gym on Monday (what is wrong with me :) ) but again, made my step goal and did some leg work at home. Finally, made it to the gym this morning and hopefully I will make my step goal today as well.

    I have been better with my eating . . . I guess I better be - since I updated my weight goal to 135 or some place where I really like what I see!

    I've been doing good on calories this week. Unfortunately I didn't cook last weekend so I've been eating fast food for dinner. As long as I stay in my calorie goal I'm going to try not to worry about it too much. I'll make sure I do some cooking over the weekend for next week.

    I have come to the realization that nothing sabotages ones diet plans as fast foods and dining out. It is ridiculous how much hidden sodium those foods contain . Preparing your own foods is more healthy and not to mention cost-effective .

    On Saturday I started back to doing some sort of strength training and each evening this week I have done something . . . why is it so easy to forget how good we feel when we actual do the darn thing? I had not realized how much I missed working my body - I mostly do bodyweight workouts.

    I do my exercises in the morning when I have more energy. Its too humid here in NYC for me to even try and get out of the house after 11 am.

    Made it to the gym this morning and had a great workout. One of those moments when you start a workout, decide to only do half but ultimately complete the whole thing!!! Now I just need to reach my step goal for the day.
