Met my goal of doing 45 minutes cardio, and lost 5 pounds and a few inches overall, so progress is going good for me. But I am finding myself at times getting distracted with all the buzz on the Crackberry forums about Droids and BB 6, that I forget to go do the workout.
I think most people trying to get fit would agree that eating right is the biggest challenge. A predominately natural diet provides more energy and way less calories, sodium and fat content than a processed food diet does. The challenge is that most restaurants and caterers find it more cost effective and profitable to offer processed food menu selections than natural food. Eating a low sodium diet is often the most bland and boring diet to eat, so even if you prepare your own meals, it can be a real challenge to lay off the sodium.
Avoiding breads, condiments, sauces, baked and frozen goods, goes a long way to helping you avoid high sodium and fat content, as well as limiting your overall caloric intake. It's been my experience that eating a high sodium diet will make losing weight very challenging. Sodium retains water weight in the body and is also the key contributor to high blood pressure.Last edited by trjnberry; 08-02-10 at 03:00 PM.

Now comes the challenge of adding back in calories to build muscle without losing the leaness that I have now.Congratulations on winning the Tweet award. Your dedication to this contest was apparent from the start in the BBM group, and your end pic is awesome. Coach got fit...!
