Much better then yesterday.  Through journaling, I'm realizing how much I grab snacks or a handful of pretzels here, a cheese stick there...it all adds up.  I was probably consuming more than 2000 per day.  Hence, the reason I need to work to drop my body fat a bit.

I'm glad I committed to this.  As much as it is a pain in the tush, it is helping!

Have a great night!  Off to bed at 8:45!  Our bodies burn fat more efficiently if we get a good night's sleep AND did you know that we are more inclined to crave starchy carbs and sugar when we are sleep deprived! See you tomorrow!
