I went online and found some more exercise videos that I can do in my office. It's been rainy and I don't want the weather to keep me from reaching goal.

I posted a picture of my inspiration dress on my blog to remind me of how I want to look when I reach my goal.

What is everybody doing this week?

I would think your protein levels would depend on how your labs look. Were they OK last time you had them checked?

Even though you're able to eat more food you should still be taking your vitamins. If you don't, you will eventually get sick. Our bodies can't absorb enough from the food alone.

It seems unfair, doesn't it? We absorb the doggone calories, but not the vitamins.
