It would have been better If I'd eaten more today. My net cals are on the low side. I try for between 1650 - 1900 cals on days I exercise.

I've got out of the habit of doing weights at the the gym. In the summer it's to tempting to do all exercise outside --gotta get back to the gym to lift at least 3 times a week. Well when the rainy weather arrives I guess...

One of the most common excuses for not fitting activity into every day living is lack of time. The reality is your time is 100% yours until you give it away. Who better to give your time to than you.

We find the time for an extra client and the all-mighty dollar, to catch our favourite television program, lunch or coffee with a friend or watch our kids in dance or hockey. You find the time to do the things that matter. People who cannot find time for recreation and exercise are obliged sooner or later to find time for ill health.

The time has come to get serious about making time for those things that improve your health: exercise, rest and relaxation, healthy eating and more play.

Sunny monday : )

first post!

This blog site is to be all about my diet and fitness : ) I've taken a break over the summer, now I'm ready to get back to my diet.

The main focus of my postings will be a log of my daily intake and exercise...kind of boring really.

I'll be doing weigh ins on fridays. My weekly goal is always to have a daily calorie depicipt of -3500 (equal to 1 lb. of fat lost).

The bf Jordan has just left on a cross Canada tour with his band for a month, so I won't have any distractions from my diet for the next while!

Wish me luck!

Update: Today was not a great food day, too many calories for a day with no exercise. I'm still taking penicilin, and needing more sleep than usuall --that's my exuse for no exercise today.
