go your own way

its friday. 5 days after my depressing monday weigh in. my workouts have looked like this:

monday: 26 minute run
tuesday: cardio x
wednesday: exercisetv 20 fat burning workout (a killer for only be 20 minutes long)
thursday: 25 minute run
and today: i'm hoping to get a yoga session in as well as a walk. my muscles are needing the stretch!

i've also been proud of the food choices i have made this week. skipping popcorn and diet soda at the movies, saying no to cookies, sharing splurges with peo… Continue

i'm nervous. because i know the above statement means i'm going to be moody for a while.

i'm nervous. because i'm dealing with some other self-worth issues that are already affecting my m… Continue
