    I ran yesterday. It made me so happy!

    I miss running. Funny, while running I hate it, but when not running, I want to be running. Wish my foot would hurry up and get better...

    Yesterday I met half of my goals. I went a little over on calories and didn't figure out a strength training routine. Not too bad of a day overall, I was just STARVING so ate more than normal and had a couple of beers and those calories add up quickly.
    So today is a new day with new goals so for 3/12 I will:
    1) 80 ounces water
    2) 30 mins cardio
    3) resist the donuts my coworker brought

    For those of you interested in beginning strength training....Google it. I did and found a few websites that are helpful. They even set up beginning routines for you!

    Thursday's goals
    - eat max gross calorie limit, ideally a bit less to balance Wednesday
    - brisk walk into town and back for my errands (30 mins)
    - Refocus on a consistent daily achievement of calorie goals or this could spiral out of control.

    Really really struggling at the moment. Eaten over my net goal through munching on chocolate and a snack after dinner. Seem to be screaming for sugar and eating when not even hungry. Did do my walk but really the only good news today.

    I am new here. I lost 50 pounds on weight watchers but the more weight I lost the sicker, I got. My weight was masking liver and pancreatic problems. This summer I has emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder and have my liver scraped. It seems like I forgot everything I learn during my time on weight watchers. I gain 40 back in 6 months. I need to get back on track. A friend of mind suggest this app. So I am willing to try anything. One day at a time, sounds perfect.
