This probably will not be the most thrilling of posts, but I'm so excited that I had to share! This is the first week I've lost weight in the last 6 or so, and I'm just soooo happy. I ordered Turbo Jam online and it came a few days ago. So far I've only done the first "learn and burn" dvd, but it seems pretty cool and I've had achy muscles that I haven't felt in a long time for 3 days now from just my first workout! I like that feeling though, it means I was working hard and that hopefully my body will respond to that hard work.
I went out with my girlfriend, Dayna, yesterday to see The Dark Knight (sidenote: we've been in love with Christian Bale for years and see every movie we can that he's in at the theatre together). Normally when we get together we eat Thai food - Pad Thai and spring rolls almost exclusively - and then get at least a drink at the theatre, but yesterday we went to Lettuce Eatery and had big delicious salads. It felt so good to fill up on such good stuff, but not get so full and heavy that I wanted to lie down and die afterwards! Then at the theatre, I had a small non-fat frozen yogurt and Coke Zero instead of popcorn and orange pop as I would normally have done in the past. You see I can be pretty resistant to temptation at home, or when I'm out alone, but as soon as you get me in a social situation I justify horrible eating any way I can: It's a special occasion! I don't want to be a bad guest and refuse the food that's offered! It's just this once - I was good all week! But it's Christian BALE - he'd want me to be happy!
But I was no less happy for having resisted my habitual chow-fest, and I feel so victorious now that the numbers on the scale seem to be responding to my efforts.
Please, do not let this week be a fluke!
