something has to change.

I'm happy to say that I reached my goal this past week of going 5 days without sweets & pop. I went from Tuesday to Saturday.

I went home for the weekend and that was the hardest. When I got home on Friday, my dad offered me million dollar bars... blondie crust bottom, a layer of caramel and then a layer of chocolate on the top. They looked amazing but I resisted.

Then Saturday, we celebrated my brother's birthday as a family. My mom made homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. It was served with vanilla ice cream. I resisted and had a bowl of cantaloupe instead... there's a first time for everything!

It felt great to be able to resist things and work on having stronger will power.

Sunday, I had sweets. I don't think I over did it but I definitely enjoyed it.

Then I weighed myself Monday morning... I had gained a little weight.

It made me so mad. I've been gaining a little bit here and there each week and I've been in a great habit of working out 3-4 times a week.

That's when I realized it's time... it's time to change up something and that something is food.

I'd like to continue to workout but now I'd like to focus a little more on what I'm eating.
