I dragged my butt and the rest of me out of bed to exercise this morning! Yeah. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. My goal for the next 4-6 weeks is to exercise thre times a week for at least 30 minutes. My first short term goal is to lose 5-10 lbs before going to Illinois in March for Karen’s graduation from basic.
I did well with food choices today. I did have one small piece of dark chocolate. DH buys them for me b/c you can buy them individually and I doubt they’re even an ounce. So, I hide them out at the office and at home for those times I just want something sweet.
Karen is underway. Last we heard from her, she’d passed her physical and was heading out to eat lunch and then fly to Chicago; then to camp.
Hope all is well for everyone. Gotta run; get Christmas out of my living room! 
Yeah, good for you on the exercise!
I am a believer in moderate but regular dark chocolate consumption. I buy the bars of the really good stuff, but I can almost always stop with one or two squares. I like it dark and pure, no stuff added to it.
