The Good: I had a wonderful day today starting out with a great message in Sunday School about God given "gifts." We have been working through the book of Ephesians and today we discussed chapter 4. I enjoyed Ron's message and it gave me a lot to think about. I also kept right under my daily calorie allowance today! Woo Hoo! I had 12 calories left over AND I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. :)

Once again, I am going to say that tracking on Live Strong is AMAZING! I love that they have the nutrition facts for almost everything! It also charts your progress in a bar graph and it charts your daily protein, carb, and fat percentages of the day. I would HIGHLY recommend using it because it has taught me a lot about what I eat. It also helps me make wise choices and decide if I can "have" certain foods depending on how many calories I have left. It is almost like a game. ;)


I also made a KICKIN' dinner last night and wanted to show it to you. I used thin boneless chicken breast this time to make my spicy chicken tenders. DELICIOUS! I also made some yummy garlic potatoes made from small red potatoes and garlic steamed asparagus. I love making delicious and nutritious meals now!


The Bad: It was such a beautiful day today and I had planned on getting a nice walk in but I never got around to it. I need to really start "scheduling" times during the week like meetings so I keep a consistent workout/cardio plan. Since I have the day off tomorrow, I plan to walk and do a workout DVD with weights. Tomorrow night is WW night so we will see if my hard work this past week with the Jillian Michaels' DVDs paid off!


The Ugly: I have pulled something in my neck. Ouch! I don't know what I did to it but I will be going to visit my AWESOME chiropractors (Jud and Jason @ Palmetto Chiropractic Center) this week to hopefully take care of it.
