Spurred on by your inspirational comments, I’ve decided that weight loss isn’t the best gauge for my fitness goals. I want to be healthier all around, not just lighter. To that end, I bought some pretty cool new software for my PDA called BalanceLog. So far it seems great. It allows me to keep track of all the food I eat and the exercise I perform, and it allows me to set fitness goals and track them. I’m already learning stuff about myself. Today, for instance, I was surprised to see that while my diet was low in fat, it was actually pretty high in sodium. Gotta work on that. See? I’m feeling healthier already.

and don’t forget that increasing your muscle mass will increase your resting metabolism! i always have to remind myself that to get myself into the weight room.
