Nov 3 goals

Okay, tomorrow my goals are:

1. Listen to my body and pay attention to what I am eating. Basically I will only eat when I am hungry and I will stop eating when I am full. I usually do okay with this when I am at work. Tomorrow I am going to taste everything that I eat. Problem is when I come home, in the evenings.

2. Get 1 hour of exercise. Tomorrow I will go to the gym for 1 hour of circuit training.

3. Get 7.5 hours of sleep minimum. I"m going to bed after this message.

4. DO NOT STEP ON THE SCALE. That stupid thing drives me mad.
