SPRING SLIM-DOWN begins today....

I'm back! In honor of my new weight-loss challenge(@ Danielle's Daily Fitness), I've decided to slim down a bit too! I'll be journaling my daily food log and fitness log. One thing that I know for sure is that, using a food journal and tracking calories works! The people complaining, saying "I can't lose weight, no matter I do or how much I workout," are the people who refuse to get serious and take the time to journal their food. Truth is, most people are consuming way too many calories - hence the ever increasing obesity rates in America. Anyway, enough is enough. I'm going back to the basics and so should you!
