Baby Steps

While James has been in training I have been spending a lot of time hanging out with his amazing family. Last night his mom invited me to come out to eat with them at Texas Roadhouse, which just happens to be one of my FAVORITE places to eat. I ordered a 6 oz sirloin, green beans, and a side salad....and ate NOT ONE SINGLE ROLL! By the end of the meal I had to cover the remainder of the rolls with a napkin to keep from eating them, but I stood firm in my resolve! Bread is my ultimate downfall. I have the hardest time resisting the temptation of ANY kind of bread. The texture, the taste, the smell...it's like a drug. Being able to resist the rolls at that particular restaurant, because they are incredibly tasty, is a HUGE step for me. I couldn't help but be proud of myself.

Tonight, following an inspirational episode of The Biggest Loser and several hours of looking at weight loss success stories, I dragged my mom out to a Zumba class at Fitness Shakers. She's warming up to it but prefers the Latin dances to the hip-hop ones. I had a blast as usual. I love knowing the moves. It makes it a lot more enjoyable. 

I keep telling myself that I'm going to be successful; envisioning myself healthy and thin. I hope I can do this...actually, I KNOW I can!
