Weekly Food and Exercise Journal

As I said in my post last Wednesday, I'm going to resume publishing my food and exercise journal every Monday to help keep myself on track and hopefully avoid gaining any more weight.  I went "off the grid" Saturday - I felt like I needed one day to myself.  I didn't go crazy that day; in fact, I ran 8 miles (stay tuned for a post about my latest injury...GRRR!), and ate healthily except for one "cheat meal" involving Big Burrito and brownies.

If anything stands out to you, I'd love any feedback and/or advice!
