Ugh, November (and October) were relative busts for me -- I was so busy at work and with school and a few other things that my weightloss goals and my exercise and diet slipped way down the priorities list.

2. Get more cardio into my exercise routine

I'm new to this so I'm not exactly sure how to set everything up but my goals for Dec. are to lose 6lb(to be out of the 190's), to exercise at least 800 min, this month, and to keep a food journal. (That will be enough of a challenge on it's own because I'm a little unorganized!) Updates to come
