Well, it’s been a week or two since I’ve last posted, but things are going well. I’ve been eating well, and working out, but it’s still going slow. I’ve been eating more frequently, but smaller portions. When I’ve been out and had no other option but to get fast food, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwhich, no mayo, side salad, and diet coke. A much better option than chicken nuggets and french fries with honey mustard (yum!) I’ve also made it a point to eat breakfast every morning.

Workout wise, It’s been beter. I had a week where I dodn’t make it to the gym, but I was spending time moving furnitute and doing some hardcore cleaning of the apartment. My husband is gone, so I had to move everything by myself, which I think is a better workout that I could have gotten in the gym. THose dressers are heavy! Tonight, I am playing softball, so that should be fun. I’m still sore from the last two days of lifiting, so taking a lifting break until Saturday will be good.

I think I’m going to take some progress pics this week and put them up. I think my stomach has gotten smaller, but I don’t know. I feel better, which is important.

I want to start swimming in the morning. The pool is open from 6-8, so I am going to aim to be there at 7. Since I don’t have to be at work until 10, it works out great. I sleep to much anyways, so this will get me out of bed.

Does anyone else swim in the morning? Do you eat something before hand, or do it on an empty stomach? I know people say that cardio is done best first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, but others say that it’s good to have something in you to give you some energy. Any suggestions?
