    So...is it still healthy if you eat 600 calories of salad!?!?! It was mostly lettuce but dang that dressing! I guess since It had lots of other good stuff in it, and I burned off most of what I've eaten all day long its not so bad. Any thoughts??

    Ya not bad at all, think of what you would of been eating before you started here and no exercise to boot....be proud! Maybe use a light dressing next time.

    What kind of dressing do you like? If you're like me...it is the RANCH DRESSING! I have tried SO hard to like lighter types, but I just like ranch. My friend told me about Walden Farms brand dressing...she said the chipotle ranch and bacon ranch are really good...and get this.... ZERO CALORIE, ZERO FAT, ZERO CARBS, ZERO GLUTEN, ZERO SUGAR

    I have no clue how they do it...and have NOT tried it yet personally, but I know Kroger and Publix carry them in the health/wellness sections! Worth a shot for sure

    This was a caesar dressing, but yea for the most part im a ranch girl. I'll have to try that kind of dressing and see if its any good. Thanks for the tip! I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Yes I do feel like eating a big salad is alot better then eating the pizza or burger that I sure would like to be eating right about now.

    Had a great day today. I was below my calorie intake but a little high on the fat. I was feeling a little unmotivated this morning, not really wanting to workout or do much, but I also wanted some pure Mommy time, so I went to the gym and felt GREAT after my workout. I just need to keep reminding myself that I feel best after a good workout!

    Keep up the great work ladies!!!

    Great Job!, I felt really unmotivated today as well but I just got the stroller out and went for it, unfortunatly "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes " Keep replaying in my head the whole walk...I really need an IPod!

    I woke up extremely discouraged that my scale moved up, so I had not such a great day in the food department. But I worked out for 2 hours and burned 993 cals so I definitely worked off the bad stuff.... but now's the weekend and that's when my diet tends to go to hell in a handbasket. So thank goodness for you ladies to keep me accountable!

    I stayed up way to late last night, I haven't done my workout yet but I plan on doing it this afternoon, it is so much cooler outside then. I do have to clean my house today so I will burn extra calories for that.
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Great way to start the day Katelyn!
