    Do you have a type of exercise you prefer? The gym? Walking around you neighborhood? Fitness DVDs? You should also re-evaluate your diet and see what you can do to reach your calorie goal with mostly nutrient dense foods!

    Do I eat my calories I burn during my workout?

    I aim for 10,000 steps a day with my FitBit for my main form of exercise... you'd be surprised at how many steps you're probably taking minding all those kidlets ;-) I've seen a lot of people say they only eat back half of their exercise calories to be on the safe side. Add me if you'd like for support... I log on daily :-)

    It felt so good to get back into the gym again. It was great.
