    Cardio - 3 hours throughout the day (not all at one time) on the treadmill.


    Fantastic! I've been patting myself on the back for three hours on the tennis courts today, but it takes a lot more self discipline to do three hours on the treadmill!

    So I haven't been updating daily here but here are my exercise minutes so far:

    Jan 1: 90
    Jan 2: 110
    Jan 3: 75
    Jan 4: 60
    Jan 5: 170

    Thanks!! Usually put the tv on something to take my mind off of what I'm doing. Sometimes i am on my phone, reading messages from MFP or FB too. Good time to catch up!! :drinker:

    This year I plan to:
    -Log everything
    - Find balance in my diet to ultimately stop binging
    - quit smoking
    -lose my 70 lbs
    -Just be happier and healthier all together.

    Almost 2 weeks binge free, hoping to stay that way =)
