Jana Week Two

All right, so one week down and I have not run away from the gym screaming yet! (This is because my legs are so tired I could not run, even if I was being chased.)

Although I feel sore, I do feel really good. I am doing all these cool crazy things at the gym that I did not think I could do. Boxing, jump rope, and dead jumps to a platform are all the things I have been doing so far this week. I do not know why jumping onto a 1 ft platform from the ground should have been so terrifying, but it was. I did do 20 though!

I am pleasantly surprised at how well my diet has been going. I was worried that I was going to have a hard time making the changes and sticking to them in social situations. I did go out for dinner on Friday with my BFF to Trocadero on Milwaukee's lovely East-Side. We drank some red wine, ate sensibly and had a great time. I had the St. Germaine Salad with grilled chicken and the dressing on the side. It was like something I would have had a home. I even had some fruit for dessert.

I also went to lunch on Sunday for the Tourney and ordered a chicken curry wrap off the regular menu, just no fries and no mayo and it was not bad. I also had a Guinness and a piece of cake for my friend's birthday. I am not freaking out about it because I need to live my life and my life includes beer and cake! This is going to be my biggest accomplishment, knowing life happens and having a beer does not have undone everything I have done.

Here to another week of working hard and eating right!
