Good luck with your workout, today. I think it is super cool that you have such a great supporter in Shawn. He rocks.
Well, you guys have convinced me to suck it up and buy a scale. I think it will help and reading how ""off" the measurements can be to the information on the label, seals the deal. Especially you talking about the nuts.  |
Hey Ginger-
I do like having the food scale. I don't have to have that doubt in my mind, like am I really eating what I think I am. I've felt a little bit like I'm spinning my wheels the last couple weeks and I'm hoping the nuts thing will jump start me again!

I definitely grab more than a handful! I can't really trust myself if I don't measure. My appetite is kind of scary.
I moved things around a bit since I am still sore from Wednesday. Obviously I pushed myself because my hams and butt are tight! I am going to do an aerobic day today and weights tomorrow. I haven't used my weight set, which is set up at Shawn's house, in a while, so it will be cool!
