    January goals:
    1. Avoid the breads like the PLAGUE
    2. Watch my calories. It's easy to go over
    3. Follow my workout calendar, my muscles have become mush
    4. Keep carbs low. While I have a limit set in MFP, I love veggies and want to eat them
    5. Salt... I need to consume more of it.

    I messed up the date on my last post. It'd been for 1/2 and 1/3. Whoops.

    For 1/4!!
    1. <3 Almost ordered a pizza. Almost.
    2. <3 I was right at the limit
    3. :( I didn't work out. I shall do so today.
    4. <3 Nothing terrible for me! I noticed sugar alcohols get recorded, including erythritol and stevia. So I gotta make mental notes when that happens because carbs are actually lower for me.
    5. :( A little under on salt.

    Alas, I will have to double up on my exercise today to keep to my "minutes goal" due to no intentional exercise on Sunday. All other days this week: :)

    I had a great week but fell apart over the weekend. I ate breakfast both days and both days ended up grazing all day and eating way above calorie level with some carbs thrown in. I have been mostly “fasting” weekdays, I eat from 4-8pm. Much better strategy, and keeps me from the mindless grabbing.
