Week 1: Complete!

As of this afternoon, my first week is complete! Results are in. Down a measly .2 pounds. I knew this was gonna be slow, but damn! I think Superbowl kinda screwed me up. Okay, it's my decisions that were screwy; and that Orange Chicken take out... I knew that was a bad, bad idea. But, I'm not beating myself up about it. I'm forging ahead and trying to do better.

The only big thing I've got going on this week is bridal shower my mom is hosting for my cousin. There'll be a decent amount of healthy food there. However, we'll be tasting wine. So, my goal is to taste and maybe drink 1 glass. I need to eat a lite breakfast with filling eggs that day and save up points for the shower, too. I doubt we'll be ordering out aside from

Anyways, I consider this past week to be a success. I struggled a little bit, but moreover I came through it having worked out for 20 minutes or more every day, even though I didn't always feel like it. I think that sooner or later after keeping up this practice, I'll enjoy it and look forward to work outs like I've done in the past. And, by prepping raw veggie and fruit snacks this week, I think I got a really great thing going on that I want to keep up.

So, tonight was the official start of my 2nd week. I started it off right and went to a friend's house where she taught me her circuit training (that she got from a personal trainer). It was really fun! And then she fed me tofu stir-fry, which was totally awesome and very few points. Love love love! I'm hoping I can set up a routine on a week night with her once a week... another weekend routine would be good, too. I wish it was spring already so we could go walking or hiking!!! arrgh. I'm really excited to just walk on a track or something again with a friend(s), but it's just too cold out right now. Anyone know of an indoor track anywhere??

The only thing I didn't accomplish this week that I wanted to was a drawing for a motivational sign. Just a quote, purely typographical. I want to work on it more extensively this weekend. I'm still going to reward myself for a job well done, because the 'core requirements' were met this week. Friday evening = mani/pedi happy hour (no wine, just nail polish!)

Oh, and before I go, tomorrow I'm going to a cycling class at the Y. It'll be my first time ever and I'm both nervous and excited. It's a 45 minute class, so I know I'll be sweating like a champ by the end of it!

Ok see ya!!
