Progress

Over a week ago, I gave up ice cream and pop.

While I didn't expect the pop to be much of a challenge, I was terrified that I'd not only miss the ice cream, but also replace it with something else.

I'm proud to say, after 10 days, I'm not only not missing the ice cream, but I have managed not to replace it with M&M's, cookies, brownies...you get the idea.

In addition to making strides as far as my eating habits, I'm also back on the horse, or rather, the bike!

I was doing really well, then got out of my routine.  But, now I'm back! 

I'm coming back slowly - I was beginning to irritate my foot and my knees by doing the bike every day, so this time I'm going to pace myself a little more and hopefully avoid all that.

For a few weeks now, I've been toying with the idea of joining a gym and enlisting the help of a trainer - I'm wondering if that will help keep me on track. 

Unfortunately, that's just not in our budget right now, so I'm going to have to keep myself motivated and energized.
