No.Day.But.Today

I'm at the halfway mark for the exercise challenge I'm doing with my mom. Only 500 more minutes to go and we are getting manicures and pedicures. :) I'm feeling really good about exercising regularly and keeping track of minutes is really motivating for me to see how far I've come already! I can exercise longer and am less worn out from it, so that is good -- time to pump up the resistance I think.

I haven't posted in a while. I'm not really sure how I'm progressing. I'm starting to think I need to weigh in weekly just for the accountability. Monday will be the day I weigh in. So that means for the next four days...water, veggies/fruit, and no soda are my goals.
