Feelin Good!

I am feelin' good! I can say that I have worked out everyday for 8 days now. That's pretty impressive compared to my past lifestyle of not even thinking about the gym. Yesterday I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and felt great. I only ran 2 miles because my roommate, Amanda, wanted to go to a rock solid strength class taught at the rec. So we went, and it kicked my butt. It was a total body workout with weights. I am sore today but I loved the workout. I am going to try to commit to going every Sunday. Today, Margie and I got up early to swim some laps. It was a good workout for myself because I have my knees and feet a rest. I got to workout my whole body. When I got on the scale this morning, I found that I have lost a pound and a half. Which is not very much but I was super excited! It is great motivation for the rest of the week. I have decided to still cook from the South Beach diet cookbook but not necessarily be on the diet. As a poor college student with little time to cook it was becoming very costly and time consuming. I went to the store yesterday and bought stuff that was either low cal, low fat, or low sugar. I think I will enjoy this more and I will save money too. Last night I made a veggie lasagna for dinner for the week and a mexican egg bake for breakfast for the week. I am being very strict on portion control which I thought was going to be hard but turns out it's not too bad. I feel satisfied rather than full and it's a good feeling. So again, today I AM FEELIN' GOOD!
