Thought for the day- I will not be buying the Portabello Marsala Healthy Choice meal again. Waaaay too salty, I probably shouldn't have finished it, but I hate letting food go to waste.

While at the gym I got two compliments from people (One patron and one trainer) about my work on the TrX  cables. I love them, I'm making good strength gains on my push ups and vertical pulls. If you are lucky enough to have a TrX system in your home or at your gym, definitely make use of it!

Exercise- My coworker and I walked around the mall during lunch hour. Nice brisk pace, nothing too strenuous, good for my healing knee.

Thought of the Day- I cannot explain how much I was looking forward to tonight's dinner! My coworkers and I were talking about good lunch recipes, and one of them mentioned bringing a baked potato for lunch. Instantly I started craving one. Dinner was so amazing, and it felt good to indulge after being so good the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is my father's birthday party. There will be chicken pot pie, undoubtedly other tasty good stuff, and a butter pie (A very rich custard pie) made by yours truly (It's in the oven now). Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my eating plan. Wish me luck!

Exercise- Due to a continuing knee issue, I am refraining from any kind of workout this week. Can't wait till I'm feeling better, I want to get back in the gym!!

Thought of the Day- Taking pictures of whatever I eat is definitely making me think about what I'm putting in my body more. No more just randomly grabbing things and eating them because they're there. This might actually work!
