The hard part....

So a big part of why I started all of this, as I sort of mentioned before, was to get fit and lose the extra lbs! I figured that since eating is a huge component of that, I would start posting about my meals and weight-loss goals as well.

No matter how hard I--and everyone else for that matter--work out, it doesn't discount what I eat. Unfortunately, the biggest factor in weight loss is diet. I have a VERY hard time with this! During the week, it's normally not a problem. A typical meal is grilled chicken/fish and veggies. Test weeks (I'm currently in pharmacy school) and weekends are the tough part. Saying "No" to a drink or an appetizer or dessert is nearly impossible for me! Just last weekend, I stayed at my parents' house and my dad made biscuits and gravy for breakfast the next morning...SURPRISE! That is possibly my favorite breakfast food, and I sadly ate string cheese and black coffee instead. It seemed like a life changing decision at the time, but the rest of the day I kept thinking about how happy I was that I didn't eat it! Hello, Newfoundwillpower!

Tonight, it felt like I was having a gourmet meal!! My roommates and I are addicted to Pinterest and decided to make spaghetti squash lasagna. It was delicious! I made some asparagus with some parmesan cheese on top. Mmm Mmm Mmm!

    PS:You can change your name!! Go to your blogger profile and change the display name...I jokingly made my name "Workin on my fitness" a long time ago and I can't decide if I want to change it to my name or not :-/
