Pretty Proud

I am pretty proud of the fact that I have been working out, every day (minus one) for a week now.  I have been on my period the last 5 days, so it has been really hard to get the umph to work out and avoid the temptation of fast food. I am very proud that I have been eating at home and bringing my lunch to work to ensure I am eating in a healthy manner.

I stopped buying soda (again). It is really hard for me not to drink soda because it really is one of my few guilty pleasures. But I realize the enormously detrimental effect on my health in the long run, so I am cutting back. I now only get soda when I go out and do not allow myself to get a refill.

One step at a time, right!

 This is what I see in the mirror...

...but THIS is what I see on the scale.

I am really hoping it is just water weight that I'll be able to shed by the end of next week to get my confidence back in control.
