I forgot to do week 3 so these two will be together. Actually both weeks were very similar anyways.

I'm doing really well with eating better foods. Occasionally I've had a craving for a Dairy Queen Blizzard but have managed to have a healthier dessert instead.

I'm a big fan of Cool Whip and so I've managed to mix some of that with some chocolate syrup and that's been much lower in fat and calories than the 1000 calorie Blizzard.

My biggest crutch recently has been that I have not been exercising. An old knee injury has been re-injured (snow skiing) and has prompted a lack of exercising and a visit to an orthopedic surgeon.

However the doctor gave me a list of things not to do and a longer list of exercises I still can do. So now is the time to start that back up.

In the meantime I have realized that at least my own weight was based more on the bad food I was eating and less on the amount of exercise I was doing.

Prior to this program I thought ... well if I could just exercise more I'd look better and lose a few pounds ... WRONG.

Now I know if I stop eating junk and I eat better I can lose the pounds and when I start exercising I can shape up my muscles!
