So.....to begin

I exercised 25 minutes on the elliptical and lifted weights both upper and lower body. I had not been there in a month at the gym and I can tell I will feel it tomorrow.

I hope more people will post on this thread so we can get it going! Have a great day or evening where ever you are in the world!!

Crystal Light

Big salad with light dressing

It makes me want to work harder I think if I post and show progress. This morning I planned out the meals for breakfast, snack and lunch but dinner just KILLS me. I did well yesterday but I want to keep it up eating better and smaller portions. I will do the same today. I have in my mind a number goal of 240 before Thanskgiving. It would make 17 pounds this year.....not great but not bad either.

I will post later with my meals for the day.
