Todays Journal

May 12th,

Well, I know I should play catch up but as you can see from my previous jpurnal entries its not going to be alot of information. So instead I'll call this this first day of the rest of this journal. This the day after Mothers day and what a wonderful day it was yesterday. A perfect day for a barbecue with the whole family outside in the sun. I must admit that I did eat more than I should have but still within means of the plan, lots of protein. Exercise is going well and planning to push a bit more. All in all everything is going according to plan. Hope everyone else is enjoying the transformation as much as I am.
