Water - 120 ounces

Today went good, I ate breakfast to start off my metabolism and surprisingly it made me feel better. I was feeling tired, angry and achey, but once I had something on my stomach my mood changed and my body felt better. It's amazing to me at the way your body tells you it needs nutrients. I had no idea that your mood would be effected by how hungry you are.

I went to our local rec center to work out. I like it there. I like that it is big enough that I can workout, get red in the face and drench my clothes in sweat and no one knows me, is by me or even really cares. When I feel like I'm alone I can breathe heavy and really get into my workout. There were so many times today that I really pushed my body to the max. I lifted weights and wanted to really push myself hard. I would do as many reps as I could and then add one more just to prove to myself that I could. I just kept repeating in my head, "you can do it, you can lift this one." I had to keep saying it because if I didn't I would stop and give up. It felt good to push myself like that; to keep going when I was sure there wasn't any strength left in my muscles.

One thing that I noticed I really like from working out is my attitude. I was so unhappy and depressed and when I started working out I just felt better and more in tune with my body. I had so many angry customers today that they would ruin anyone's day. I was even tempted with the thought of not working out but I declined it. I knew that if I exercised I would be more positive and happy and it worked.

I did eat out today at Chili's with some friends. I'm not going to kill myself over it though because I made healthy choices. Me an my husband split a dish and so we didn't spend much money and didn't over eat. I drank so much water while we were there too. Water is a miracle the way it can fill you up to help prevent you from over eating. My one down fall was mostly the chips and salsa. I ate way more than I should have, but I'm not going to best myself up about that one thing when I made so many good choices today. I was able to eat out and still feel good about it. I love it! 140 pounds here I come!
