    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes, but barely! LOL!!!!!!!!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, I did exercise not the intensity I wanted but it was something!

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did not just sit on couch and let brain ooooze.

    What would I have done differently? If I had had more energy I would have done a more hard workout and went to the gym.

    What is today's personal goals? Do a more intense workout!

    Exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) Try and workout at least 4-5 days this coming week.
    It was TOM and I ain't gone lie it is a struggle to even brush teeth so doing the minimum is what I do...I try to exercise but it may not always happen. My goal is always at least 30 minutes. I also need to get my grocery routine back...been off track for past 3 weeks.
