Big Milestone

I hit a big milestone today.  It's been 1 full month since I decided to start eating better and tracking my intake in a food diary.  I was shocked when I did it for just one full week, and am astounded that I've made it a month!  There obviously are a couple of days that I missed partially, either forgetting it at work or (like this weekend) having too much going on to fill it in.  But even with everything going on I was aware of my food choices and portions.  So far I've lost a couple of pounds, which is nice but wasn't the end goal.  I no longer feel super puffy, which WAS the goal - feeling puffy and bloated 24/7 is not fun!  Over the month I've made an effort to go to exercise classes, even though I love the eliptical and the classes are never at convenient times.  But I have to say mixing it up has helped a lot and I feel stronger after being forced to actually hold weights.  I plan on continuing this momentum and maintaining my new lifestyle, only because I feel so much better.  Going forward I'm going to try and insert some exercise tips too, although I do NOT consider myself an expert.  So take anything I post with a grain of salt and consult a professional if you have any questions :)   Good luck!
