Thanks for the words of encouragement! I am having fun and starting to see small results. I think the fitday journal is a great tool. I didn't realize how bad/good certain foods were. I also had no idea how many fat grams I was consuming. The one thing I do not like is the generalized foods they have in the database. I wish they had a bigger selection of foods with nutritional values to choose from. I used weight watchers for a while and they have a much more detailed database! Other than that, I think the journal is awesome. There are report functions that will show you timelines of your nutrition, activities, and weight. If you have any other questions, just let me know! Thanks again for your kind words!

Keep it up, friend. The weather in St. Louis is changing--I heard it was in the 70s (and snowing a couple hours later last week). You'll be outside in no time! Take advantage of Fenton Park

Hi Sara! Great job! The treadmill is a great way get in your walks during the winter and also a fantastic way to learn pace and effort. The harder walks will feel challenging for the next few sessions and then something amazing will happen and you'll begin to feel it getting a little easier to walk at that level speed or incline. If you listen closely, your body will let you know in little ways it is getting fitter and adapting. For instance, being able to walk 10-15 minutes longer, or a little bit faster.
You're doing great! Keep it up!

That is awesome Sara. Congratulations on pushing through that fat-burning session! You should feel proud. You sound positive and happy and that is a great thing!
By the way, I noticed Jenny had you using the fitday journal, so I decided to check it out. I started using it a few days ago so that I could track my nutrients and I have found that it seems to be a great tool. Since you have been using it longer, do you have any insight on how to use it and what aspects you like/dislike about it?
