Just Another Day ^-^

I didn't go to the gym yesterday (weight-lifting day) for two reasons. #1 I was still sore (a bit) from Tuesday and #2 I went out last night and didn't think it would be worth being sore all night! I'm going to go tomorrow (Saturday) to make up for it.

I did go to the gym today though, my friend was already on her way home for Thanksgiving so it was just me...and I didn't remember to bring my mp3 player :( so I was just watching the calories I lost tick upwards :). I also didn't bring an energy drink today (I was in a bit of a rush to get out the door this morning). I didn't bring a towel either... I really must start bringing a gym bag with all of the things I need! hahaha. I found out though that the gym has a towel rental deal that's free for students - you just have to swipe your student card as you take one out and return it. I ALWAYS have my student card on me, because it's my ticket to the bus! So that shouldn't be a problem, and it's one less thing I have to carry around with me.

I'm really starting to enjoy my time at the gym. It gives me a chance to be completely cut off from the outside world and gives me some "me time", where I don't have the computer or my phone to be distracting me from wherever my mind wants to wander. It's a good 40-50 minutes to myself (by the time I change, work out, cool down, change back). It's really nice actually. BIG PLUS! that I actually want to go on my own now.

That's the kind of reason that I call this a lifestyle change rather than a diet. I feel so much better about myself, where I'm going, and I'm getting alot of benefits. I'm more active, need less sleep, eat healthier... I'm craving certain foods less, and if I do crave something, I'm learning how to curb those cravings.

I love life. :)
