With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I took a much needed vacation and gave myself full allowence to eat and drink at will. I needed to just let go for a week and not care and think about anything but having fun--which I did. Well, now that I finally feel good about life again, I'm starting over. I picked up this new program for my computer called Balancelog. It's great, you feed it all your stats and then your goal weight and it helps you keep track of all your cal., carbs, protines, etc. for the day, then it also gives you a great chart to know when you've reached all your daily goals. It also tracks your workout goals. So anyway, we'll see how far I can make it on this. I'll fill you in on the details a bit later... I gotta go to work...

I've lost count of how many times I've started over in the past! The good news is eventually you get to where you're 'taking breaks' instead of 'starting over'... then pretty soon you just, oh, 'slack off' here and there. I hope your new tool is effective for you.. does your program run on PDA's?? How cool would it be if the tracking tools here at ft would sync up with my PocketPC! Ah well, have fun and good luck.. -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli

I've also started my running program back up, and hit the gym for my new weight routine. I jogged/walked 4 mi. on Sunday and did an hour of weights on Monday. I took Tuesday off to clean out my closets and dresser (still working on that...:() and today (Wed.) I'm planning on hitting the weight room again for another hour. I already did 20 min. on my elliptical machine this morning and plan on doing some more cardio later today also.
