That'll likely change soon as I start my training on Monday.<br /><br />One of the biggest changes I made since last September was getting to bed before midnight, and sleeping consistently/regularly as much as possible. Being up past midnight fries the metabolism and doesn't give your body proper rest. It made a huge difference for me. <br /><br />Keep it up, you're well on your way, girl -- there are results you won't be able to physically see in terms of numbers and such -- heart health, lung capacity, brain boost, etc, etc -- but they're just as important! <br /><br />I didn't know about the new show, it sounds interesting!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692603062067512190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048018311887818767.post-67300702516773608752011-06-23T10:03:25.074-04:002011-06-23T10:03:25.074-04:00Ooh good for you!

You plug in how much you want to lose and in how long, and how much you exercise every day, and it gives you a suggested amount of calories for the day. Then you can enter in your food to keep track. And the more you exercise, the more bonus calories you get. That's my favorite part! :) But anyway, it's definitely a good, concrete way to keep track of things! And what a cutie Mr. Powell is! :)Laura Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817637305623694718noreply@blogger.com
