I'm happy to report that the soreness in my body has left me. Doing my "hard zumba" class last night felt great. After class, I came home and made a salad and ate the left over sirloin I made a few days earlier. I've been using MyfitnessPal to enter my eats and I must say, I can see how I've gained 7 pounds in the last 8 months. I'm eating more and exercising less. Gone are my lunch hour workouts. It's so busy at work, but I need to get a handle on it and soon.
Portion control is THE HARDEST thing for me. , I need to tackle it and now. MyfitnessPal helps will help in monitoring my carb intake. I'll continue with that for a bit and see where it takes me. I realize this statement is "passive" and not "decisive." I want to refrain from thoughts of I'M GIVING UP BREAD, or I WILL EAT 1200 CALORIES A DAY. I realize in order to lose 1 lb. a week, I need to a 500 calorie deficit a day. Eating less will be difficult but doable, right? First I have to see where I can cut. I am also reading SASS YOURSELF SLIM. Hopefully, this book will give me some useful ideas and food combos to jump start things.
If I can say this: My life is pleasant and happy and my weight does not completely hold me back from enjoying life. However, I gotta tell you seeing my pictures in the Foam Fest really messed with my head. Why can't I look cute in workout clothes? That kind of thinking is rough... I don't want it to take away my accomplishment of that day. Facing my fear of heights is huge. But all I see in the photos is how fat I am.... stinkin thinkin again. okay, okay, I'll move on.
With that said... I want to show you what I'm doing with all those tomatoes from the garden.

Well, my break is over and I gotta get back to work. Hope your day is awesome...
