Dieting and the holidays This time of year is a bad time of year for dieting for me. It's not that I don't want to diet.

Workout Day 1
Started working out again today. It was easier than I expected. I only did 10 reps for each exercise. I should note that I actually started dieting again in April, and so far I've lost 27 pounds.

Misleading food labels
