On we go...

My new eating/exercise plan is working well. It's not really new, just something I'm actually sticking to. I'll be posting my food and my workouts here each day to keep myself accountable. I use Fitday software to figure out my caloric intake - it's free online, but I actually bought the software a few years back to use offline, and I think it's very reliable.

First thing AM - green juice from kale, celery, cucumber and 1 apple

I feel that by intensifying the nutrient value of the food I'm eating, I'm not craving more than I should eat. I'm not feeling hungry and my mood is level, which for me is a major coup.
