I still feel so off from the weekend. No workout yesterday. I was just so tired. Headed to the gym after work today.. for SURE! I don't care how tired I am. I'm going to lift with Dana and do some cardio even if it is a light workout. I have to do something. Woke up this morning with tingling in my hands and feet. Hands and feet were also swollen and I was retaining water but that seems to be gone now. I wonder if it was a vitamin thing or maybe I just slept funny. I took extra B12 along with my regular vitamins just in case. Making sure I stay very hydrated today too. Do you guys ever get that? Getting my labs done next week so I'll know the results if anything is off soon enough.

Thanks Tammy, I wish I knew what goal was for me. I am at approx 26% body fat at 269 pounds, so I guess if I can maintain lean body mass of current 200, my goal would be 215-230; but I gotta tell ya I am pretty damn happy right now, and if I did not lose any more I would be just fine. Thanks for the kind words

The whopper and fries was most likely kinder than the Cracker Jacks would have been, trust me, been there own the t-shirt You have to go thru that to keep you centered, it will not be the last, but it will be a while That is the beauty of it, tomorrow really is a new fresh start, and you will do great.
