Day 5

"Six months from now you won't remember how those cookies tasted. But six months from now you will be able to see results!"

Okay I need to either tattoo this on my arm or just adapt it as my new mantra. Yesterday being Valentine's Day I believe we all see it as "sweets day". I have to be happy that I am not a huge sweets fan or baked goods. (I know, I know, I make designer cakes for a living, weird.) But for me my sweet tooth isn't that big at all, if really there. I think my favorite sweets are fruit. But I do love salt water taffy. With that being said I was at the grocery store yesterday with my family. On my way to the register I grabbed a white paper bag and stuffed a few handfuls of salt water taffy into the bag. As I got to the register it dawned on me what I was actually doing. So with that I put the bag on some random shelf by the register, and proceeded to check out.

YAY for me! While this may seem trivial to everyone else, this was/is a huge triumph for me. And last night I found myself dying for anything. I was so munchie!!! I wanted a sandwich, nothing fancy, two slices of bread, mayo and some thin slices of lunch meat. It haunted me....but I had an orange instead. Another huge step for me!!!

Well today is my rest day, so already starting on a weird step. I realize it has only been a few days of working out. But I take it as a good sign when it feels strange to not head to the gym this morning. (Doesn't help that my son was up at 5:30am and then shortly after my daughter.) Tomorrow we incorporate weights at night. Time to do some research on what is best to do for my body. Then we will go form there.

Thanks for stopping by, and remember words of encouragement are highly encouraged! (Ha! Did you see what I did there? Yeah.....maybe I should go back to bed.)
