Trimming Down

So, it's 13 days 'til I head to Montreal for the MBF, and I'd sort of been trying to drop 10 lbs since Charles went away at the beginning of July. He just got back, all trim from two months of Army PT, and i'm still feeling pudgy. Doing the costumes for Shine at the same time as having a full time job made exercising pretty much impossible, but I don't like getting on the treadmill at the best of times. I was seeing a personal trainer once a week, and noticing results in the sense that I was getting stronger, but no noticable weight difference.

So, I've decided to blog about everything I eat, and all the physical activity I have each day, so I can keep myself more accountable.

I am absolutely terrible about eating late at night... I like my nibblies pretty much right up until I go to bed, and I KNOW that's not a good thing to do. I'm going to try to keep that to a minimum.

I'm going to start my diary from yesterday, because it was not the best day, and today i'm doing much better so I don't want to look like i'm a rockstar right off the bat.
