One week down!!!

Okay so I have really struggled with the program for the last month. Being back at school and being around terrible food and alcohol so much has gotten the best of me and while I haven't gained any more weight back, I'm still at about 168 (so approximately 3 pounds above my low when I got back from Florida). So this is kind of disappointing to me but I sort of knew it would happen because I would fall back into back habits here. Staying up late and being bored sometimes are both huge triggers for me to eat and drink and that is what has happened.

The good news is that Martee and I have finally got on track with working out again!! I just got back from doing cardio with her and it was our successful completion of Week 1 on the program (at least with exercising). So that was awesome. We worked really hard and we did three days of cardio, one upper body workout and two lower body workouts. I'm really proud of us and I think we're really setting ourselves up for success this week.

That being said, I really need to stay on track now for the eating part. I have a beautiful dress to look beautiful in by Lori's wedding and my ultimate goal for July 4, 2008 is to be at 155 (or down to a 36 hips). I think I can do it. Really, even if I don't make it to either of those goals but I really try to eat right and exercise, I'll be happy.

So, small steps for now. Today, I have a "Cuatro de Mayo" party so I'm going to eat a satisfying lunch before I go so I won't be hungry and then I'm going to limit myself to one drink per two hours I am there. I can't really get drunk today anyway because I have a test at one tomorrow and I really need to do well on it.

Goals for this week are:
- Get back on track with the food portion of the program
- Only drink tomorrow night
- Help M with this week!

I'm excited to be doing well with my exercising and I'm officially, right now, going to be over eating like crap the last month!!!!

To a good week!!!!
