    Hi - I'm new to MFP and posting on the boards. Not sure if I need to "join" or just post and that gives me membership by default? Anyway, this community seems nice, so I'll go ahead and see if I can do this:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, it was a nutritional goal
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I went to a new class at the gym (Zumba Fitness) and it was so much fun!
    What would I have done differently? I would eat oatmeal instead of pnut butter in a.m.
    What is today's personal goals? To not go berserk w/eating over the weekend.
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...) Zumba Fitness
    Mood today? Positive

    I'm generally pretty good with exercise but its the constant yearning for food that gets me in trouble!

    Tues- Yoga (55 Min)
    Wed - Walk (30 min)

    My YMCA is going through a $10M renovation. I went to the Y last Friday and there was no more cardio equipment so I ended up walking around the local college. Tomorrow is the grand opening of the new wellness center. I am soooo excited. I can't wait to use all the new equipment. The renovation has been tough at times - dust, smells, etc...

    Thanks! It's a volunteer position that I signed up for a year ago when we had the groundbreaking ceremony. I sure hope the new facility motivates me. My problem is not going to the gym. My problem is with food (emotions, portions, etc..) and being consistent. :(
