So I weighed in yesterday morning. No change. Still at 152. Usually I'd be a bit down about that, but right now I'm actually celebrating. The past week was full of eating crap food (especially on Saturday. David turned twenty, and we ate out at a Mexican restaurant. I ordered chicken, but still, Mexican food just has a lot of calories. Also, can't forget the birthday cake) and PMSing (finally started my period this morning, thank God), and I was actually expecting to gain weight. I'm thinking that the combination of exercising often and the fact that I'm eating more protein and fiber is causing my metabolism to speed up again (not sure, but hey, we can hope!). This week I'm going to stick more to the low calorie low fat foods, and now that my husband is seeing the fruits of his work out labor, he's fully jumped on my bandwagon. I'm glad to have a partner not only for working out but for eating too. Starting a new job soon, which I'm pretty excited about. I think that the job combined with my working out will really increase my caloric burn, and possibly my muscle build. I can definitely see more definition in my arms and legs, and that pooch on the lower part of my stomach is definitely shrinking. Also, I put on my skinny jeans today, the ones that were super tight last year, and they slid on easily! I'm starting to feel really good about my body again, and I just want to thank everyone for supporting me for the past couple of weeks. It really does motivate me to focus. Ashley

When I started out on my SF journey, I thought it was going to be cake, just like most other things in my life. However, as the days pass, I find it more and more difficult to follow the rules. Sure, I'm exercising like a madman, just the same as usual. That is not a problem for me, because I love to be active. My problem is the food! No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get rid of that magnetic force that just pulls me towards the kitchen. This constant snacking is not helping at all. I may be exercising, but I'm cancelling it out by eating cookies and doritos (why we even have that in the house, I don't know. I hate that my husband can eat whatever he wants).I'm drinking a ton of water, so I know that helps, but it only goes so far. Sorry for this venting. It's about that time of the month, so I'm bloated and pissed off anyways, and known I shouldn't weigh myself because it will just show my water weight (my eyelids are so swollen, it looks like I have mono again). Today I'm going to resist the temptation of the kitchen. I'll eat my five meals, and no more!

So yesterday wasn't all that great. I was doing really well until my hubby's friends came over to hang out. Then I undulged in soda (at least it was diet), a big helping of doritios, and McDonalds fries. AND I barely got any exercise in. This weekened I need to pay more attention to what I'm doing. Damn you cravings!

I went to the gym yesterday with the hubby, and let me tell you, I hate going to the gym after five. hate it! It's packed with sweaty military boys, and I can never use the basketball courts because there's ten huge guys playing on there. Anyways, the workout went well. Ran two miles on the treadmill, biked for ten minutes, did a half hour of different lifting exercises (curls, squats, etc. Three sets of ten reps each). Then the hubbs and I took a half hour walk around 8 last night Felt really good after I finished, but then got a super craving for chocolate. Only ate 1650 calories, so I don't feel bad at all, but I still am having trouble resisting the cravings.

So I had a successful day one, and didn't feel like I was going to pass out from hunger. Maybe this will be easier than I thought!
