Well I braved the beginning of the snow in Seattle to get to the gym. The gym was closed!! Now how does this place qualify for 24-hr fitness? Better go look up the hours. Still within my daily calories so I will go with it.PS: my gym closes at 7pm on Sat and Sun nights.

Logging food accurately is forcing me to choose better foods! It works. If I don't, I go over my limit. Also I am learning calories and fat for different foods.

I even threw away half an expensive health food store roll to stay within my calories.Kick Butt and take names
