    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? The desk definitely need more attention but I did make progress!
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Didn't go over on calories when I was in a snacking mood!

    Exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) 2/5 days of exercise

    I thought this was such an interesting article as we assess the best way to work off this weight. In the end the consensus seems to be... if it's working for you GREAT, if not check out your options! Hope you are having a good week!
