DAY 1: "I think I can I THINK I CAN...."

Soooooooooo I did my best to stay positive this morning.  I got up made my vanilla shake and added frozen strawberries.  It was good but it wasn't bacon lol! But really it was good.  I was running late and everything so I'm pretty proud of myself that I didn't just go without breakfast or pick up a sausage biscuit from Starbucks.............however I did stop at the wonderful Starbucks for a green tea with honey!

I was so tired at work today since it was our first day back (without students).  I could barely keep my eyes open man so I just did my work, got some lessons planned, day dreamed for a second over the pork chops, mac and cheese, greens, etc (don't judge me)  I made for New Year's Day lol.  You would of too if you tasted it, i can assure you that.

 My first temptation today was cupcakes and fruit dip at a co-workers baby shower at work today.  I passed on the sugar and ate a fruit kabob! GOOOOOOOOOOO ME!  I felt proud!

Temptation #2 - Went to Market Street for lunch!  They have everything.  I love to get my wine and gourmet cheeses from there.  So delicious...anyway I'm getting off track. I chose fruit, salad with a little grilled chicken on it and water.  I even made salad dressing with just balsamic vinegar and olive oil instead of using dressing.  I even put salad on fork and lightly dipped my salad so I wasn't drowing all the good healthy greens in fat and calories.  Now dressing is okay in moderation I am just trying to be strict on myself for the first month.

Temptation #3- My bf eating leftovers.  Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, it smelled so good but I did not even take a bite!!!! Woohoo!

I tackled the Fit Test for INSANITY today!  If you have not done it or seen it, please take a look on youtube or something.  It is not a game! NOT AT ALL!  I had to pump myself up for a few minutes before I got started.  It's mentally and physically draining but if I want results I need to man up and go for it!!!!  "Sweat is your fat crying" is a phrase I found on pinterest and I love it!  Until next time folks!!! I will probably post every other day or so to stay current!

  1. Just used my fooducate app on my iPhone. Wish I had used it at the store, because the popcorn was high in saturated fat. Can't believe I missed that one but this is what it's all about! I'm learning lol
