Day 14: Accountability Is The Key…

I think I suffered from fatigue today, I didn’t want to move. And somehow, I think that’s ok. I turned up my exercise routine this week and I’m paying for it nown (52k steps Mon-Fri). I didn’t want to complete my push-ups or squats, I thought of all kinds of…

Day 12: Exhausted!

I developed a competitive drive at 11:00 pm tonight. My desire to be the leader of my fitbit challenge group, pushed me to do 3000 steps before midnight! I did it, but I’m paying the price…I’m so sleepy right now, I could lay down on my kitchen table and go…

Day 7: Talked Myself out of Popeyes

I talked myself out of going to Popeyes and I went to Wendy’s instead. I had chili & a bacon ranch salad (complex carb free). Major win for me…it’s all about the choices you make. I’m looking into trying some different veggie recipes…stay tuned! So: 64 ounces of water, 3…
