Day 4

Today proved that I am human. It was a little bit more of a rough day, but I faced my first real challenge so far, and I conquered it!

I started off the day with a wonderful breakfast! Just toast with peanut butter, but again it held me over for a long time! For lunch I had a tuna sandwich and crackers with a banana. I rounded out the day - this was my challenge which I mentioned yesterday - with Subway and a salad! The challenge was that I went to help paint our tarp for winter guard, and we were going to have pizza for dinner. Before my lifestyle change, I would've loved this part of the night. However, this came to be a challenge as to how to not eat anything unhealthy, but to have my own dinner going. I was going to eat ahead of time, but instead I decided to take a sub from Subway! Super good idea! Not to mention Shelley (thank you thank you thank you) bringing a wonderful low-calorie low-carb salad!!! :) Again, with the support. It's the little things that make me realize the support I have behind me! Wahoo!

The true tough part of my day was my workout. Apparently I was having a really clumsy day and my body just didn't want to cooperate. I started off on the treadmill with the intentions of jogging, but after 10 minutes of tripping over my own feet on the treadmill while only going 3.0 mph, I decided perhaps jogging wasn't a good idea. And the one time I did a 1:30 jog, I knocked my iPod out of the cup-holder. Yep. It hit the treadmill and went flying behind me. Funny now, not so funny then. ;-) Then I went to the bicycle, thinking this would be a better option for my clumsiness. Riiiiiiiight. 3 minutes into my bicycling, I again knocked my iPod out of the cup-holder on the bike. Nice. So I decide maybe holding onto the iPod might be a better option. Yep, you guessed it. I dropped it. Again. My poor iPod took a beating today. :( Needless to say I got very frustrated and decided it was time to stop after 45 minutes at the gym. Looks like I need to make a stop at the gym on Sunday!

The good news is my sister told me today that I'm already looking thinner! :) Wahoo! That's a success!

Tomorrow brings another challenge. This is not only my first day of work for the week, but it's also my last day working at the salon. AND we have our Christmas party tomorrow night! Hello calories! But, Mom has made our food this year diet friendly, since most of us are tracking calories on our "Lose It" application! No exercise tomorrow, I think my body was telling me today that I need to take a day off! Not to mention, I probably really won't have time.

OH! And a music suggestion for jogging (which I didn't do but I still listened to the music cuz I LOVE IT!) is the Twilight soundtrack. Seriously, most of those songs are a wonderful pace for jogging! :) Just throwing that out there!

Talk to you all tomorrow!
