So, it's been about a month of working out. I've downloaded my calorie counting app. I've managed to make it to the gym 3 times a week. I've resisted most of the sweets that I've been tempted with. I've gone from 4-5 Cherry Cokes a day to 2. (I'm not going to give them up, completely. Because, that would be crazy.)
I've done so much better than I thought I would! And, the best part is that I've lost 8.5 pounds. :)
But, it's not easy. There's a TV attached to the treadmill and I've discovered that there are a surprsing amount of pizza commercials. (I find myself looking away from the screen. haha)
There is now a Three Sisters' Chocolate right next door to the gym.
There are sadistic random contests.
There is a little girl who loves to stop for frozen drinks whenever we pass a Race Trac.
There is even a co-worker who brings in donuts.
This new awareness of calories is both a blessing and a curse. I can no longer eat junk food without a little guilt. I miss eating junk food without guilt.
But, I'm digging the fact that my clothes are getting baggier, that I have more energy, and I just feel healthier, in general. :)
I'm also extremely grateful for low calorie chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate candy bars with yummy caramel.
And, I'm probably most excited about the fact that, very soon, I am going to have an excuse to go clothes shopping. I mean, I can't just go around in baggie clothes?!
