It was another great weekend and I'm really starting to feel my fitness improve. Before I started this in mid January I was eating acid reducers and ibuprofen like crazy and over the last two weeks I haven't had either. I'm feeling much better even after just a small amount of weight loss and exercise, amazing how that works!  Well, back to my busy Monday.

Have a great day!

I had an early meeting this morning so I didn't get as much sleep as I have been getting. My calories were a bit low yesterday but again I feel pretty good so I'll go with how I feel for now. My scale weight is up a pound from yesterday but I was a bit high in sodium as well so probably not accurate and I'm not worried about it anyway. 

Back to work and have a great day.

I decided to take a break from the cardio last night and enjoy an evening of sitting around with the family goofing off, so glad I did. I'm down another pound and I'll be back at the cardio tonight. Work has been really busy this week so short update, back to work I go. 

Have a great day.

Improving...

Tuesday Weight: 297

I'm pretty sure last night was the best workout I've had in a long time, it felt fantastic! It felt great to just MOVE! My calories were much better today as well so things are improving. In a couple of weeks I will be traveling for work and I'm really going to put a plan in place to limit the damage. I used to travel quite a bit all over the world and it's always a challenge to stay on track. This will be a short 3 day trip but I plan to stay on point and make smart decisions about food. The hotel does have a fitness center and I will be in it at least once.

Well, back to work and have a great day!

I had a great weekend staying on point with workouts and eating, the trend will continue. My cardio is getting better in terms of how I feel during and after and my heart rate average is starting drop as well. I'm still working on the nutrition side as I need to still improve what I'm eating and how much but overall I'm happy with January. Here's to an even better February! 

It's a busy day today so back at it but have a great day.
