"Of course it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

First off: Pay no mind to the scale. Muscle weighs more than fact so if you are eating better and working out you ARE improving. Let's be real, I've just lost muscle and gained fat this week :)

And good for you getting up and getting out of bed to run... 2 miles is way more than most people do at 5am.. Thats what I always tell people at least! I now have a running buddy in the mornings... some black chick about my age who comes in about 10 minutes into my workout. We don't speak but do head nods to acknowledge each other. Sad that in itself has become my accountability?! Its the little things...

Alright, rest of the food for the day:

Dinner: Wee little bit of left over spaghetti squash and 5 mini stuffed mushrooms that I bought premade and just heated up - so Yummy and only 30 calories a piece. Low cal dinner if I do say so myself.

After dinner snack: 2 tootsie rolls. (I dont know what it is but I HAVE HAVE HAVE to have something chocolate after both lunch and dinner.. its like the meal isnt over until I have it)

Then I just made muffins for breakfast tomorrow. They are blueberry but I wanted to add protein/fiber so I threw a bunch of raw plain oatmeal in them and of course had to try one and they are delicious!! No butter, just plain... and enjoying my one muffin with some green tea :)

And THAT is my day.
