5 Pounds Down

Low Fat Strawberry Yogurt & Kiwi

After yesterdays high intensity circuit I am thankful to have the day off from TurboFire.  However, I still went for my hour walk! It felt so good.  What do you know? I woke up this morning feeling well rested and with a coffee cup worth of energy.  It was great! I still had a cup of coffee with 3 eggs (scrambled) and cottage cheese for breakfast, celery with peanut butter as a snack, spinach salad for lunch, kiwi with strawberry yogurt as my second snack and grilled chicken with penne pasta and peas for dinner.  I love that Treven enjoys the same snacks and food as I do. For the most part anyway, he doesn't like almonds, avocados or tomatoes.  I still find myself ready for a nap in the afternoon after the workout and walk is done.  And so far I am fighting off that temptation!  I have been sleeping better but that is probably because when I get to bed I am way too tired to read or watch a movie. 

I know that I shouldn't have weighed myself yet, but I couldn't help it! I mean, I feel better, I can feel my muscles aching.  And what do you know? I have already lost 5 pounds!!!!! I can't believe it! I know that your weight fluctuates everyday but I am not going to look at it that way, I am looking at it as progress towards that 90 pounds! Now, I will be facing another challenge as I head up to my moms house for two days, will I be able to continue my TurboFire workouts, a hour walk and still eat healthier?  It won't be due to anything my family does but whether I allow myself to use that excuse to not do it.  I can already see myself saying/thinking, "Well, it's just two days and I am with my family. I want to make the most of it" But really, I can take 2 hours to workout and I can make better choices of what to eat. And even if what I eat isn't the healthiest, it's about portion control.  Which I have lacked in awhile, I ate what I wanted and as much of it.  Instead of one slice of cake, I would have three. I can manage as long as I keep focused.  Now, that I have a screaming little guy to deal with I should probably get back in "Mommy Mode"
