Goals-
1. 64 ounces of water/day
2. Write in a journal

***Bonus Goal- Get involved again in the political process. Research Universal Health Care and/or immigration reform--write a paragraph on why you feel the way you do about it. I think there is a lot of information/misinformation on both topics and I am looking forward to hearing about your take on the issues.

Week 4 Results...

A new feature

I added a food database searcher to the bottom of the blog. If you scroll all the way down, you can type in any food and it will come up with the calories/fat grams/sodium/etc. It is a handy little tool and I have been using that to keep all the little secret snacky calories that I eat throughout the day down. Once you see the caloric content, there is also a little area that says how much exercise you have to do to work that off. Hope it is helpful to you!

Sorry!

Sorry about the late posting of goals- we were in the middle of nowhere with a broken down minivan and no internet access. Thanks to Allison for putting the goals together last minute and I TOTALLY agree...the speed limit goal was a hazard! Sorry about that one. Live and learn.
