Almost a week in!

and the first week is always the hardest!! I've worked out now for 6 days in a row, which I can safely say I have never done in my life!! It's not as hard as I thought it would be. I mean, each workout is hard and I have to push myself through it but getting myself there everyday is not as hard as I thought it would be. I have never done it before because I've always psyched myself out before I even go and then find excuses. But now that I've made the commitment to go whether I want to or not, I find that it's not as daunting as I always imagined. It's just part of my routine and I feel so much better after doing it! I feel like I'm finally starting to learn how to live healthy.

I've been following the diet really well all week but I found the weekend a lot harder. Not so much because I was tempted by bad food as I was just running around all weekend and that makes it a lot harder to plan meals. My cousin came into town and we were all over the place and I didn't have much time to stick to the planned diet exactly. So i stuck to some of the meals and then with the others I just tried to stay within my calorie range and be mindful of what I was eating. It was harder than I thought it would be. I'm trying to put it behind me and not beat myself up for not being perfect! I don't want to be so hard on myself that I lose motivation!! Focus on the positive and be proud of myself for what I've accomplished and what I'm doing!! Almost a quarter of the way toward my goal!!

And tonight is my Advanced Baking class!! from 5:00-10:00! I will make sure I bring my dinner so I'm not so hungry that I can't resist all the desserts!! This is the true test!! ;)
