wow 2 weeks down!

Well it's been over 2 weeks of a new lifestyle and in the first 2 weeks I lost 3.44% of my body weight .. the body weight percentage is how we're doing our Burlington Biggest Loser challenge.

On Saturday night I had another moment of weakness ... weekends are difficult. I was at a party that was suppose to be a potluck so I proudly brought a delicious salad. It was a party for a friend that just came back from Australia after being there a year. I ate a lot of salad but everybody else basically brought chips leaving me with limited choices for the meal ... so I ended up having THREE pieces of pizza (eek!).I must say I was still proud I brought the salad. I was doing well until all of a sudden I saw it ... the most delicious Aussie cookie that is not easy to buy in Canada ... there they were ..TIM TAMS!!! I had FOUR *glup* ... AND chips ... (not too many though). To put it lightly Saturday night was a tough night and I felt so sick to my stomach afterwards. It wasn't that I over ate (cuz I truly don't think I did) but it was that sick feeling of being filled with unhealthy high fat food. I had not had that feeling in a long time. I think my body was rejecting the food saying ***** you Emily for putting that CRAP into me. It made me wonder if this is how my body was reacting all along and I just didn't notice it before I started actually paying attention to what I put into my mouth. CRAZY realization for me and really turned me off the chocolate, chips, pizza combo!

In other news it was grad school this weekend and I was more exhausted than words can express today (Sunday). I tried to find every excuse in the book not to go to the gym and then I said screw it I have to go and I went!! I'm so happy I did I feel unbelievably energized now. The latest thing I have to report is that I noticed myself looking in the mirror as I was lifting the weights even though I have mocked the mirrors that are all over the walls. I found msyelf today looking into the mirror and feeling happy and proud of what I saw. It was an awesome feeling (however it could have just been the fact I was wearing a black tank top and we know black slims down everybody..haha). I thinkg it's just a feeling of being re-energized and healthy. I hope this high stays because I feel good. :)
