So just busted my butt for 12 mins... up from 10 mins.... on my elliptical that I am so fortunate to have in my house so no excuses and I only burned 100calories!!!  That is half of the pieces of chocolate that I had today.  Well, that puts food in perspective.  Now I will look at food like "how many minutes on the elliptical will it take to burn this off?".  But I feel good for exercising today.  I also lifted weights so I'm doing good.  I've been reading the Biggest Loser Book that lays out the plan for you with the calories and exercises.  I also made a list of weekly rewards that I'm going to give myself each week when I reach my goal.  This weeks goal is to only eat out lunch less than twice.... then I get to buy a pretty bra!  So far so good.... only once and that was yesterday... wait, husband brought home chinese food on Sunday so I guess that's twice. Still doing good though.  I might be working out of my funk Tammy!!
