A sense of pride!

I guess it doesn't take long for our brains to change how we think of, and view things...thank god for that!

Today was the day I had to go grocery shopping. I was secretly dreading it because, let's face it, temptation is at it's highest when walking by a box of chocolate chip cookies! To my surprise...I didn't crave anything! In fact, the only thing I craved was this amazing fruit salad with macadamia nut and orange sauce (I was actually planning on finally making this till I discovered macadamia nuts were over $12 a pound! -faints-).

I can honestly say that I left the grocery store with a sense of pride and accomplishment, and to top off an already good feeling, I got home and passed by Patrick's bag of chocolate chip cookies and instead went for the bag of watermelon in the fridge. Do I still have cravings?? Of course I do! But today gives me hope that they will all pass eventually, and my brain will look like this...


On another positive note dealing with exercise. I'm going to start going to Curves again this week, I also was able to get Zumba for the Wii. I'm really excited about the Zumba because I've always thought that it looked like so much fun. My plans for exercise are:

-Curves: 6 days a week
-Zumba: 6-7 days a week
-Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga: 3-4 days a week depending on my back

Of course, I may not start out doing that much, but the goal is to work up to that! All in all, I'm feeling good today! My accomplishments today might be small to some, but to me they were really big, and I'm proud of myself.


I just thought this picture was pretty. Makes me really want kiwis though...
