almost through week two

talk about an annoying week. nothing like getting rejected last week, then being in contact, getting ones hopes up only to be dumped again. never once getting to look him in the eye.

nonetheless what better motivation to kick some booty at the gym? this week with not much else going on, i pretty much got dressed for the gym each day wearing the same workout pants over gym clothes and a hoodie, marching there, sweating through pain,frustration and all other negative emotions rejection leaves you with.

LEAVING with much more though! leaving with burned calories and that boost in serotonin knowing you can and will eventually get over him.

i've really enjoyed this diet actually. i have learned some great recipes and keep getting more and more excited to try new ones. i made salmon last night-enough for both of us--right this is where he bailed once again,sigh through email- but guess who now has some great dinner for the rest of the weekend! the salmon with yogurt dill sauce was so simple and easy to make and tasted fabulous!

that's something i've enjoyed about the "I" diet- i haven't had to buy all new and exotic foods or a million dollars on spices or get stressed trying to understand how to make a basic salad following her recipes. they all are so simple and taste incredible and fit in with hectic schedules. ALTHOUGH my schedule is unemployed (not hectic) i haven't had to spend hours making anything and know everything would be easy to make before work or quickly after a workout.

"I"Diet i'm impressed--you took what i learned from south beach and increased my cooking skills all while helping me lose holiday pounds last week AND feel like i can get over a boy. that's a diet. okay and zumba helped and strength classes...okay AND the cute guy at the gym that told me he might try zumba next week. (well post inauguration).

thanks for continuing to send postive messages our way. i am thinking of all of you in colder states right now, be healthy and stay warm.

a few tips: target is now selling fitness items i their "dollar" section and they work! arm resistance bands and weights all things that can give you a quick workout while stuck inside.
i've put some near my bedroom door so i know if i stick the gym i don't have many other excuses.

next week is a very exciting week for DC (and our country) and i'm really excited for my mom to visit. also because i get to cook for her all these yummy "diet" foods.

losing bad habits.. gaining some pretty damn good ones.
