Day 9

Well, it has been a few days since I have posted. I have been so busy with fitting in the gym and I went away for the weekend. I have officially made it over a week without any cheats. No sugar, no caffeine, only clean eating here. I feel fabulous, aside from some soreness because of the weight training. I have so much energy and I feel like I can do anything. I am also excited to say that I have lost 8 pounds from strictly eating healthy and exercising. I made sure to get in 3 weight training sessions and I did cardio on the days in between. I even tried a little bit of running. I still can not believe I have not stopped at a drive thru or grabbed a chocolate bar. To be honest I am afraid of having sugar or greasy foods because of what they may do to me now; and there is no way I am going through the withdrawal again. I feel free and I am excited to keep going. I am starting to see some slight changes in my body and I am loving it. Bring on some summer dresses!

This weekend was a true test for me. I went away with my husband to a banquet dinner my friend was putting on. I went with the salmon option which was healthy, and when dessert came I went for the fruit plate (I even scrapped off most of the whip cream). It was so difficult to see everyone eating prime rib and pad thai. Not to mention the fact that I was not drinking. No wine for me. I struggled through though. Then we all went back to my friends house for a sleepover because we were 2 hours from home. Everyone wanted to order pizza, and of course they started talking about my favourite perogy pizza from Boston Pizza. Delicious yes, but not worth messing up the hard work of the last week. I finally told everyone about the 100 Day Challenge I am doing and they were very supportive. I am so sooo happy I packed my cooler bag of healthy snacks. I made my husband and I greek yogurt with half of an apple. I am so happy my hubby helps me stick to this. I'm sure I would have cheated already if he was eating ice cream or burgers in front of me.

I am looking forward to my week ahead. My food is ready in the fridge for tomorrow and I will be doing some cardio. Hope you will be doing some moving too!
