Hey readers!

I know I haven't posted in almost a week, it's been a crazy week! So I was allowed 2 beverages this weekend but no beer. Proud of myself! I went to happy hour Friday night and managed to sip on one of my vodka sodas for the entire time!  I never even had the second drink!  Saturday I did go to the gym for an hour to do circuit and treadmill.  The entire time I was there I felt so uncomfortable and out of place. Very aware of what I was doing just really weird. I have no idea why I felt this way but I did. It's not like it was my first time at the gym or that I didn't know what I was doing.  I am well in to my routine and what I need to focus on.  Just another insecurity I just need to fight for the cause.

Saturday I had a Tastefully Simple party at the house and I have to say I did very well!  While everyone else was enjoying beer bread, pound cake, and chips and dip I stuck to my carrots, peppers, and cucumbers! I also spent a good portion of the morning shopping for the new diet which started Sunday. It's a huge food change and portion size but I can say three days in im not really ever hungry.  I eat almost ever 2-3 hours!

Sunday was a day of relaxation at the pool with the family and my apple and water! Watching some people enjoy their recent delivery of Domino's at the pool, I began to not like my apple :( But it is what it is.  I got this way by not caring about the food I ate, when I ate it or how much I ate it. NO MORE! There was not a work out Sunday but my fish for dinner was very good! Red pepper flakes can spice up anything!

Monday I had training with Brian again! I am referring it to Kettle Bell Hell, just because it rhymes. It wasn't that bad.  I remember being like OMG when is this going to end. And of course in between each kettle bell exercise there was rowing.  I used to like to rowing machine and now its my enemy again. LOL Just kidding! I still like it just not for that long!

I have been pretty strict on my diet to ensure I am eating everything my plan tells me to! It has been 6 days since I have had coffee, diet coke, or anything but green tea protein shakes and water.  The headaches are finally gone and strange enough I'm not exhausted.  Coffee used to wake me up but now I like my protein shakes.

Tuesday night my sister and I did Zumba.  It was so much fun!!  She's going to start coming with me this summer.  Wouldn't you know it, there was one song where you moved in place and the entire time you moved your arms differently, but kept them no lower than your shoulders.  Stupidly I thought, damn if I didn't just do all the kettle bell exercises I probably would have given up on that dance.

Final great news!  I am starting to see a difference in my waist. I won't go into fat people details, but I was really excited when I got out of the shower this morning and noticed it. Im starting to see a change which will continue to propel me further into a healthy and fit lifestyle!

Well better start work now but another training session with Brian tonight and weigh in on Friday!
