Disheartening
For those of you who have Extra Pounds accounts: do you use the activity log? I've been using it and I must say that it is a bit disheartening. It gives an estimate of how many calories you burned for the activity that you logged. On a good day, I burn 200 calories which is equivalent to a can of Slim-Fast. How am I going to lose any weight if all I'm doing is burning off my breakfast? I know it is more complicated than that, but that is what I think whenever I look at the "calories burned" column.
This cold won't go away and the coughing is wearing me out. I've been making myself exercise, but all I want to do is curl up in bed for a few days. I'm afraid I won't get back on the treadmill if I do that. Conventional wisdom suggests that it takes 28 days to for a habit and that may be true for a bad habit, but it has never been true for me with a good one.
