Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

So its Friday noon and it was a rather good week.  I kept my calories within my range.  Only meandered out a bit yesterday with a helping of edamame beans (200 calories).  My fitness for the week was pretty darn good.  So far this week I have done 2 nights of bootcamp (60 minutes each), one definition class (40 minutes), one core concept class (50 minutes) and one cardio semi blast class with weights - that was my killer class.  My instructor advised me to NOT use the weights if I am feeling too weak.  The night before during my bootcamp we had done a 40 minute power walk using our weights the whole time - so my arms were a little bit sore — to say the least. 

 Its very empowering to feel this good about eating right and exercising.  Even last night as I drove to get our dinner at McDonald’s I was justifying to myself that I could have a small bag of fries to go with my salad.  But I was just fooling myself - -I can’t go back to that person that would drive up and order two cheeseburgers, a side of fries and chocolate shake - no matter how much exercise I did during the week.  Quite honestly I don’t believe I could even eat that much now in one sitting.  That is where I want to remain — I want to know when to stop — I want to avoid that “full” feeling and I will avoid drive throughs.
