Activity: Holy geez my 9:30 instructor really pushed us today - I did my one hour tone & sculpt class - the instructor took us to the gym to do lunges, but my groin is still pretty sore. So I ran on the treadmill for the 5 minutes they were down there getting in 1/2 mile and then went back to class and finished it out - whew! Then I did one hour of yoga.

Tip of the day from www.prevention.com:
Cut 100 calories per meal
It's a lot easier than you may think, and it adds up fast: With 300 to 500 calories cut plus 400 more burned with exercise, you'll lose slow and steady. Skip the croutons in your salad and use 1 less tablespoon of butter on bread; both are good for saving 100. For more weight loss ideas, visit 100 Ways to Cut 100 Calories.
