♥ SMART Quest ♥ Tues. April 19, 2011

Week 6, Day 2
My SMART Quest for today is:  Try an continue to go to bed earlier.  I went to sleep at 10:00 pm last night and it felt good.  I was still tired when I woke up, but I felt fairly good all day and had good focus throughout the day!

MINDSET:  Today was a good day again.  I realy feel back on track.  My weight was down (still up a tiny bit from the weekend), and some of my measurements were down which was nice.  I am finally seeing my thunder thighs go down a bit!  This is rewarding and makes me want to keep on track and stay with it!
