It's HOT, HOT, HOT!

With the summer months hitting us so hard this year, it's been difficult for me to get into my warmer-month routine of going to the park with my dog, Twister, and walking 2-5 miles a day. Instead, I have been working hard in my yard: mowing, weeding, edging, etc. While I have not seen much of a change in my weight, I do feel good in the sun and sweating every day!

I have realized I am going to have to change my schedule a bit in order to get my walk/jog in each day. I will either start getting up early - before the high heat - or go in the evening hours when it starts to cool down. I'm actually opting for the early morning as I like knowing the rest of the day my workout is done.

I am also a bit torn about my eating. There are so many articles on low-carb, vegetarian, raw diets, blah, blah, blah. How is a girl supposed to figure all of this out? So what have I been doing? Kind of finding the happy medium. I am eating higher fiber, leaner meats, lower sugar, virtually no caffeine and more fruits. And I must admit I feel pretty good! But again, no real change in weight. Hmmm.....I think I will keep a journal of my food intake and see what I "really" eat on a day-by-day basis.

I've started an online account with http://www.fitday.com/ where you can enter in your food that you eat and it will pop up all of the nutritional values on food and keep it in a log for you! It's awesome! Doing this to "test" it, I've realized I already overate today - calorie wise! Eeeek!!! Maybe this will be the key to get me off this plateau and keep moving in the right direction!?

What do you need to keep you moving in the right direction?

Stay true to you!
