Today's blog is going to hit some hard topics for me and is probably going to be quite lengthy.


First on the block is a little conversation about Bad logging! I've been letting myself slide with regard to my diligence with logging. This is because I will excuse away calories, before they are ever recorded, because I know I'm burning a lot of calories through exercise.
