Today I am happy to report that I have dropped 3 pounds since starting this blog. I have done this without really dieting. I have just been eating healthier, making better choices, and becoming conscious of what constitutes a portion. Portion control has always been a BIG problem for me. I have also been exercising for 30 minutes at least 5 to 6 times a week. This weight loss happened in spite of my slip-up at What-A-Burger. Yay me!!!

I want to tell my readers about this wonderful, free site I found the other day. It is fantastic. On this site you can do everything you ever dreamed of towards living a healthy, happy life. It is sparkpeople.com. It is totally free but it does everything! You can track your meals for the day and it calculates the calories for you! You can log in your exercise and it adds up what calories you burned. It also has a group of videos and exercises that you can follow and record, lots and lots of motivational articles, recipes, group discussions, trackers, etc. There is so much on this site that it is impossible for me to list it all here. You can choose whether you want to lose weight or just be healthier and it will personalize everything you need to do to accomplish your goal and keeps track of it for you. Amazing! I chose the healthier life style rather than the weight loss because that is what I am focused on but I am sure some of you may want to choose the weight loss option.

I really hope you will log on and explore this site. It is fun and easy to navigate. I am so excited about it. Leave me a comment if any of you log on to it and tell me what you think.

More later........
