I look forward to going to the gym now & sweating.  I love the sauna because it warms me up & gets my heart rate up and running & ready for a good work-out.  I hurt my left calf muscle recently while starting to run on the treadmill.  I'm thinking its because I didn't stretch first and was wearing cross trainer shoes instead of running shoes.  I've been eating pretty good.  I give myself a little break and am not so strict on the weekends.  This allows me to eat at parties or eat out with my boyfriend etc.  I still try to keep my portions small, make healther/cleaner choices and eat every 3-4hours.  I usually keep some kind of snacks in my purse so I don't wait too long to eat.  I've found I have a lot of leftovers when I eat out because I only eat 1/2 my meal & save the other 1/2 for later.  Saves money too.  I love that.

New workout plan:
Mon - Sauna 15-20min
