Day 5...

Starting this new plan right before the weekend was difficult! But I'm congratulating myself on a job well done, amidst much temptation this weekend!

The gym has proven to be a fun idea and a work regimine has been planned out. We were given a 30 minute session with a trainer with our sign up, so I'm most definitely going to take advantage of that!

Friday night I went to my tattoo studio to work on a client. I spent several hours with him while Evan was at the bar. I went to retrieve Evan from the bar, and wound up staying until close. But I was happy because instead of my usual late night bar food and bad drink choices, I ordered a single piece of veggie pizza and had a vodka redbull... not the best choice: but better than the 5 or so beers or whiskey and cokes i usually put down! We almost stayed but instead chose to drive home at 3am. I was happy for my own bed instead of Lauren's couch.

Saturday was a busy day spent tattooing Dustin. We finished a long tattoo, had a smart lunch (though I did succumb to a coke at lunch, I did the good thing and poured it into a small paper cup, drank only that and made sure to still get my three 32 oz bottles of water in for the day).

We went home and cleaned the house, cooked a healthy dinner and watched television. I needed a night from chaos!

Sunday was a very good day. Got some gym shoes and new yoga pants (as well as a cute black button down sweater). had a nice lunch with the parents - and i was smart! i had a half salad and a cup of soup. go me!

for dinner Evan and i experimented with fish. Being vegetarian is hard. we are lacking a lot of protein and vitamins in our diet so it was suggested that we supplement with fish now and then. we tried tilapia and over seasoned it. it was so lemony! but the side dish of plain rice and sweet peas was yummy.

This morning i substituted my overly sweet coffee with hot tea for the drive to work. good caffiene boost without the sugar and cream!

i've stayed on my vitamins thus far, and though i have a stressful weekend ahead for work: i look forward to the coming months!

tonight: the gym again. i'm actually excited!!!!
