my tale of woe & a commitment!

On the first page of my workout log book, I drew a circle with a line through it and the word "excuses" (i.e.-no excuses!!!)

But...

I am so weary from work, where I have been six days a week and average 9-12 hours a day! My food plan is totally out of whack too.

So tonight, I am sitting down with Joe's recommendations and plotting out specific day by day meal plans for the next 7 days. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping and food prep and Sunday is a totally new start!
