Well I am in good spirits today for some ungodly reason even though I kinda feel like crap physically...LOL. My sinuses are aggravating me and my chest hurt this morn so I didn't go for my daily walk but I feel good. I have energy and my spirits are up. I never believed that exercise could really do all that but maybe I was wrong.
I did pretty good on my eating all day yesterday til the evening. Then I was like a mad woman wanting to eat everything but I kept my fat to 15% of my diet although I ate what I wanted even junk last night. Go figure. Wasn't really trying to keep it that low but it worked that way yesterday. I try to stay below 30%. Calorie counters would cringe at my journal however. LOL I can't survive on below 1800 calories, I know this from past experience, I either starve, get ill, or get the shakes depending which plan I was trying at which ever time. Counting fat however, seems to have no ill affects on me til PMS week and that is only because all I want is salt and chocolate then. It is hard to keep fat down when you eat that stuff.
I have started craving more veggies however so that is good. Just need to crave the fruits and water too...LOL! I am trying to eat better all around but with a daughter that goes through vegetarian phases it is so hard to keep the healthy foods in the house for me...Guess I can be proud she eats so well.
Anyways, just thought I would post how I am doing but enough rambling.

Is going down to 15% fat ok? I get down to that when I eat a lot of vegetables.
It seems you're doing good on your plan.. congratulations and keep it up!
