Didn't think I'd get a workout in today at all due to work (ugh), but wound up doing the Leslie Sansone 30-minute walk DVD. Still need to get more cardio in, but between not binging and getting an hour of exercise despite a long workday, I'm pretty happy with my progress today. As they say in the twelve step programs, "one day at a time."

In addition, there was a new low on the scale in the morning: 178.4. But I think it was because I got so sick from the almonds yesterday; I don't think it was new fat loss.
