Here's a little summary...

My first goal in this journey was to get a gym membership again. So Saturday I filled out the membership form and went to the gym Sunday to make sure I was all registered and ready to rock. No dice. Some issue on their end. So Monday I went and was able to get my card so now I can begin my workouts...

However I decided I should go out to a jazz concert with one of my friends and eat some delish gourmet food, yes, complete with the cheesecake dessert... (Which I regretted as I delighted in its sinfully deliciousness.)

Then Tuesday I planned to go to the gym after my hair cut since I had been doing good with eating and such all day. But my haircut took longer than expected so I didn't get to go. And I had a pizza for dinner. I guess I tried to write it off in my head as life happens but I really need to get on the ball.

So tonight.. on DAY 5 of my journey I am going to the gym. No ifs, ands, or butts. I am typing out this entry then taking my fat ass over there. I am really proud of myself today. I am going to make it to the gym and I worked hard all day and ate healthy despite my desire for fast food. I had a nice breakfast of fruit and oatmeal with tea and a healthy lunch of a salad with caesar dressing. mmmm.. rabbit food. So of course when I come home I am craving something bad for me. I decided i would enjoy some of my left over mac and cheese from my jazz night Monday. I won't need to feel guilty about it.. No. Not at all since I ate what is likely a true portion size of just about a cup of pasta.

The only thing that is going to bogg me down tonight is that my music playing device is not charged. Of course. And I can't find any headphones. So there is a good chance I will cut my gym experience short today but who cares. I am going and thats what really counts.

I need to look up some more salad ideas. I want to like salad. I really do. There are some salads that I enjoy, like ones with feta, tuna, and cranberries... or ones with chicken, apples, cranberries, and balsamic vinegar. I'll get the hang of this sooner or later and I will lose some weight. Guaranteed.

Oh by the way. Since I know you are curious. I am 5'4'' and weighing in at approximately 220lbs.
Wish me luck!
