numbers or look and feel?
I promised myself i would only get on a scale twice a month and measured once a month... but i get a little impatient seeing others' progress and not knowing where i am. Give in or stick to my promise? I really don't want to obsess over numbers but focus on how i feel and look... but i am pretty self critical, maybe the…

Anyway, I have begun adding all my strengthening sessions to my daily exercise log but it doesn't look like anything but the cardio work gets taken into…
