Today was so great!! I dropped 2 pounds!!! And I mixed up the workout. Instead of working out in the basement, I went to the pool to workout! My brother, who is probably the most fit person I will ever meet, kept me going. Since it looked like it was going to rain, not a lot of people were there so I wasn't too worried. I had a lane to myself so I could focus. Having someone there to keep me going helped a lot! He counted the number of laps that I had done, and since he works out, too, he knew when I was getting tired and told me to rest. He gave really good pointers and I'm really thankful for that! We didn't get to stay as long as I had liked, but I did feel like I gave it my all, and that's what counts right?

Ceasar Chicken Wrap w/ Freckled Fruit Salad

I went out for dinner with my family yesterday. I was kind of apprehensive about it because my mom had said something about a burger. A burger usually means Burger King. I was worried. I'm trying so hard to eat healthy, and we go to a fast food restaurant. Well, we didn't. We went to Red Robin! It was great! I tried really hard to find a healthy option, but I didn't want something too big. I also wanted something that tasted good (of course!). I was successful! It was one of the best meals I'd had in a really long time! I ate slow and tried that 21 bites thing. I heard that if you take a bite and chew it 21 times, it slows down your eating and you feel full faster...or something like that. I definitely didn't eat the entire platter! I only ate 1/2 of the wrap and a few bites of the fruit. It was really good! I definitely recommend it!
"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're probably right." -Henry Ford. Last time I posted, I was really close to giving up. I hadn't seen any measurable results, and since I had been working out for a couple weeks now, I expected to see at least something. But then I realized that I really should be working harder. If I don't work out every day like I promised I would, I'm not going to see results. I should work out every single day for the rest of the summer. When vacation comes in August, I will find a way to work out. I don't know what it will be, but I will find a way. And I will post everyday, whether or not I workout. That way I have some accountability for not putting in my full effort. OK more tomorrow! Hopefully!
