Day two - Feeling great

[Mommy2ICC]

Day two of my new life and yesterday was a good day. I was able to get a good workout in with my boyfriend. We used one of those at home workout DVDs. We used the Billy Blanks TaeBo DVD and it was so much fun it kick my butt. I think I will stick with this DVD as I doubt I will get bored with them. If I do get bored with one of them I will put in one of his others as I own three workout DVDs by him. By doing that workout I did make one step forward and I accomplished part of my huge goal. In the eating arena, I made a delish pasta dish for dinner. I know pasta isn't the healthiest thing, but I'm Italian I love my pasta. To make it as "healthy" as pasta can be, I sautéed fresh spinach with garlic and olive oil and then tossed that with my pasta. It's way better than adding those creamy sauces and I get a couple servings of veggies. I really need to find more ways to cook a low-fat vegetarian dinner for a very picky eater, my boyfriend who is also a vegetarian. I can't believe it, a vegetarian that doesn't really like veggies. How can that be? For starters he eats a lot of pasta, and since I do the cooking I eat that too. No wonder why I gained so much weight over the past 3 years. I have some work to do you can't expect perfection right away. I have done that and failed. I know that there will be some missteps along my journey and I will forgive myself as tomorrow is another day. I haven't started on the relationship section, but I will very soon. I think the best way is to speak with a therapist. It's healthy to meet with someone once a month or so to let things out and gain a new perspective. My daily affirmation is working and "I look great, I feel great, I'm losing weight".
