You are doing awesome, girl!!

I know what you mean about working up a sweat though! lol!! I spent 30 minutes on my Gazelle today, the little reader thing says that I went 2.5 miles and burned 300 calories and kept it at approximately 5 miles per hour average. I was drenched when I got off there! But it did make me feel pretty good!!

Counting calories is hard, I know, but so worth it....it really is amazing when you start tallying up some of the things we love and have to decide if it is worth it or not...usually not! lol!! But I can promise you that it does get easier...just this past few weeks I am noticing that I am not fighting the cravings and such near as much as I was in the beginning. It is getting much easier to push my plate away BEFORE it is empty, too. And it is getting more satisfying to make the healthier choices. It isn't such a tough decision anymore.

So hang in there!! You are doing a great job....and will get better and better!!!
