I don't have much time to post this morning but as promised I will be updating today! This week has had its tough moments and its easy moments. I feel so much better than I did before I started to eat healthy. This week I can proudly say I haven't had any fried food (except for a little bit of fried chicken on my Cesaer salad on Tuesday night) and that I have significantly cut my sugar intake. I haven't had any soda and I have been drinking water like a madman caught in a desert. I think the hardest part of this week was fighting the urge to stand in the hamburger and french fries line here at UWF, but if that's the hardest thing about eating healthy then it may not be all that bad.

I can also say that I have been to the gym for a whole week without missing a day! But let me just say, this is HARD. There are some days I would rather just sit in my room chewing celery than go to the gym, but with some help from my friends here I have made it. For most of the days this week I've been doing 45 minutes of  cardio but yesterday and Sunday I only did 30 minutes, which is going to change today. I will be making sure I make it to that 45 minutes once again!

I haven't weighed myself for the week, but I did weigh myself at the gym on Thursday and I was down to about 191.5 which is encouraging, but it could just be my weight fluctuating like it normally does. Throughout the day my body will be at a 193 to 196 range. But the next time I find myself at the scale I will be posting to see if there has been progress.

Most importantly, I have noticed that this past week, not only have I felt healthier and more energized, I feel happier and find it easier to sleep at night. I still need a little bit of help from my Zzzquil sometimes (which in case you didn't know, makes you have crazy dreams!), but I do not find myself staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching television, and when I am awake I am much more productive than last semester. So all in all, even if the number on the scale doesn't change, this is a lifestyle I am still willing to keep up just for the sake of how much better it makes my life all around.

So that's it for this Ruby Tuesday! I will be posting a little bit more throughout the week but if not, see you next Tuesday!
