Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

2nd workout...AMAZING!  It was over before I knew it was time to be over.  I love that!!  It's getting easier.  Maybe in another month or so I won't HATE exercise.  It's definitely better if you have someone with you that can make it fun and push you to keep going.

So I definitely went to Wal-Mart all sweaty and beautiful after my workout.  I need to manage my time better but there have been some crazy things going on lately so this is the first chance I've had to go and I knew if I waited I wouldn't go at all.

I purchased the following:

Bananas - I eat one every morning at breakfast.  They are SO my favorite fruit.

Apples - I never eat these and I need to add more fruit to my diet.

Cheese - a low calorie snack

Yogurt - I found that a lot of yogurt is 100 calories or more and I think that's ridiculous!  I found this Light & Fit that is only 60 calories.  I think that's pretty reasonable.  I just can't give up 100 calories for some yogurt.  NO WAY!!

100 Calorie English Muffins - These have become an every day thing as well.  They are SO good when toasted and crispy...topped with a banana.  No...it's not gross.  Don't knock it til you try it!

Sugar Free Jello - 10 calories...need I say more.  I mean that is AMAZING!!

Sugar Free Pudding - I have a sweet tooth and these are only 60 calories.  I think they'll do the trick!

Time to get a little serious...

For most people the weight is a psychological thing.  I know it straight up is for me.  I'm sure I'll deal with that eventually.  I don't want to but it's necessary.  I've been going through some stuff this week that a few weeks ago would probably cause me to eat until I get sick.  When I felt the urge I immediately emailed my trainer.  While writing him the email I realized that my niece is one of the reasons I need to change my life....not eat.  She's going to get out of the hospital and that beautiful new born little girl is going to be AMAZING!  She's perfect just the way she is and we will love her no matter what happens.  Food is not going to fix anything.  It's what we are to use to survive.  It's a source of energy.  That's all it should be.  So...I chose not to get off track and stick with it.  I shouldn't be turning to food when something goes wrong in my life...I should be turning to the one who can fix it.  If I would just lean on Jesus in the good times and in the bad I wouldn't think that I needed to turn to food at all.  It's definitely going to be a long journey...but I'm ready for it.  I'm ready for this lifestyle change.  It's time.  I'm in this for the long haul!  


I'm most definitely going to finish this race and I can't wait to get to the finish line!  :D
