Week 5 - It's February!

Good afternoon!

The gym scale is working again, so I fit in my Wednesday weigh in. It's a balmy 64 degrees outside, so getting to the gym today was not a chore at all. I've got new strategy brewing for my workout routines and signed on yesterday to do twice monthly sessions with a giant muscled man named Artis at the gym, so I'm pretty excited. I've also decided to try some new things with my weekday dining (starting the day with yogurt and granola instead of cereal, doing a big bowl of soup at night instead of a sandwich). I hesitate to give up my somewhat free weekends, but I think I could work a bit more on portion control- a great way to cut calories and still eat what you'd like.

I was happy with the outcome on the scale even though it's only been 5 days since I last weighed in. Another reason I was happy was because this past weekend was spent eating and drinking my way through New York City! We walked a lot, which was great, but I don't think it made up for the 5 course dinner, 3 glasses of champagne, or hollandaise sauce that the weekend included.

This weekend will bring more great food in the form of pasta and bruschetta with friends Saturday night and a whole lotta Superbowl snacks on Sunday :) I'm super excited to cook and eat, but the portion control is going to be my saving grace when it comes to next week's weigh in.

I'll be doing my measurements next week as well...wish me luck!
