Dinner will probably be a black bean, rice, cheese enchillada… SO, any feedback is appreciated.  I probably will continue to write down what I eat (and my exercise for the day) because I really believe it helps me think twice about grabbing food I really don’t need.  I’m sorry about your lack of motivation to run.  Didn’t you tell me you loved running on the treadmill??  I thought that was nuts…maybe you realized it was??
