The Gym!

Today I finally made it to the gym in the apartment complex, and it was just fine. I got on the elliptical and did 24 minutes of good strong cardio. I was sweating so I felt good about it. I had a little too much at lunch, so I made sure to eat a little less at dinner, which might back fire when I wake up at 3 am starving. And I had a carb with sodium (popcorn with sprinkle cheese) rather than protein, and I know better. But I was looking for a comfort food. What I really wanted was soup, and since I ended up eating sodium any way, I should have just done it. Then I would have been a bit more satisfied.

If I want to finish this out, if I want to get down to 235 by the end of this year, I need a meal plan, but more than that, I need to start preparing my meals ahead of time. I'm trying to get motivated by finding awesome new recipes. I found one for pumpkin soup that I'm dying to try. I think it would just be a lot easier if I had someone to try it with me. But I can't let the fact that I'm lonely keep me from succeeding. I need to do this. I can't let myself fail at this. I'm doing this for me. I need to keep this in mind.

I'm doing this for me.
