Weight:  164.6
Breakfast:  1 cup of coffee, multi-grain English muffin w/ 2 egg whites, and a little mayo
Lunch:  1 cup cottage cheese, 1 banana (you know I'm hard core when I eat cottage cheese!  I hate the stuff!), Fiber One yogurt (Key Lime - DELICIOUS!)
Snack:  Luna bar, pistachios
Exercise:  I'm tired of exercise.  LOL  Cleaning house and working in the yard every day this week equals a day off from it today!  I'm only shopping today.  Hey, I guess that's a form of exercise, right?  I'm exercising my credit card.  haha

So I'm sure you've noticed (as I have...gee) that my weight went up today.  Yeah.  That would be the wonderful result of taking the night off last night and having sweet tea, spaghetti, garlic bread and a couple of servings of chocolate lava cake with ice cream and strawberries on top.  Mm hm.  You bet I enjoyed it! 

The conclusion I've come to, though, after seeing how easily my weight can go up day to day if I don't watch what I eat is that my metabolism must be so slow from the couple or few years that I've neglected it.  I think that if I only do what I'm doing to eat healthy and if I don't continuously work out, I won't see my weight drop like I'd like it to. 

Plan of action:  Work out AND eat healthy on a regular basis.  But here's the thing.  Reality happens - I've been busy spring cleaning the house like crazy all week that I literally haven't had time to go to the grocery store let alone work out.  Am I going to let that get me down?  Nope.  I'm getting on the bandwagon tomorrow morning (after a much needed day off today!).  I'm planning on hitting that spin class again and showing those other people in there that I really do intend to try it more.  Am I looking forward to the soreness in my butt from the seat?  No.  Am I looking forward to helping my body along in the weight-loss area?  You betcha!

So here's to not letting the difficulty of losing weight and getting healthy get the best of me (and you!).  I knew going into this that it might be harder than I anticipated (or hoped!), and I'm up for the challenge!

Go get 'em!
