Checking in...

In the three weeks since I started my eating/workout plan, I've officially lost 5 lbs! Yay! Technically, I lost 7 lbs, but I gained two back after I found out my crappy job news. I spent four days watching TV, eating pizza, and drinking Coke (my comfort foods). For two of those days, I didn't even leave the apartment because I didn't have any classes I had to teach. Thankfully, after four days of wallowing, I snapped out of it and got my butt back to the gym.

As Ragey keeps advocating, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. I think that's really what is making the difference for me this time. In the past, if I ate too much one day, or didn't go to the gym too many days in a row, I would give up because I felt like I had just completely blown my plan again. This time, I'm doing my best one day at a time - it is a process and I'm allowed to screw up every once in awhile.

5 lbs! Yay! :)
