Work up to it Carolejo!!! SG isn't about disrespecting your bodies limits till you are in pain! Good for you for giving it all you got... Don't sweat the 14 minutes... Even 10 minutes is worthwhile... You could do 2 minutes of stretching and warming up and 2 minutes of stretching and cooling down......

I guess SG has become a deeply religious experience for you Azathoth!!! LOL....

Food journaling can be useful a short term exercise, but it gets to be a real pain. I don't think it's something you want to rely on long term.

I actually think that a lot of the things we eat when we are binging or alternately dieting are just rebellious behavior...
