Now THAT'S the way I like it!

Today was a GREAT day in food land. I've been struggling with it, and today I hit my groove. We'll see if I'm still in my groove tomorrow, but one day at a time. Today I:
  • Drank 2 liters of water - my daily goal!
  • Ate 1298 calories - within my ideal daily goal of 1200-1300!
  • Had 5 servings of fruits and vegetables!

And to top it off I even got to enjoy an ice cream cone after dinner. Now THAT'S a good day!

I didn't get any exercise in, which is fine. My goal right now is 20 minutes 3x a week, usually MWF. Unless we exercise as a family, I take the weekend off. Tomorrow I'll be at Taylor's all day helping her with the twins, so we'll see if I get the exercise in, but if I don't get it in tomorrow or Tuesday (I'll be there Tuesday, too) I will do it WThF instead. I WILL get at least 20 minutes in 3x this week.

Great job! At some point, it might be good to up your exercise goals, but 20 minutes 3 times a week is a good start! Good job on keeping the calorie intake in the range you want.

Oh, I will up my exercise goals. I just know enough about myself to start slow and set goals I know I can achieve (and pass) and get back into a routine before I make any big exercise changes! I would eventually like to get back on my running program. I was running 20 minutes a day - that's why I set the minutes at 20 instead of 45 or so. If I'm walking or doing aerobics, it better be more like 30 or 45. But for running 20 is sufficient.
