Diet + Excercise = Long days

It's officially day one of dieting & exercising. I have to say that today wasn't that bad. I resisted cheating on more than one occasion & stuck to my 100 calorie per pack snacks. Don't get me wrong it was hard. Hard to resist the pretzels & white cherry snow ICEE at Target, fast food for lunch & Doritos on sale :(
However, I'm determined to start working out (again) & sticking to it. That's the kicker. Sticking to working out & eating good. The first 2 weeks are always the worst. Watching people eat what I wish I was, instead of a Lean Cuisine makes it a long road. But, I have to keep in mind I'M on a diet not them. So it's up to me to stick to my guns so that one day I can enjoy a bag (or two) of Doritos & not feel as though 5 lbs form instantly on my stomach. Speaking of lbs. my goal is to lose at least 10. 15 if I'm feeling spunky & keeping it off. I currently weight 135. For my height the "ideal" weight is 130. Yeah right.
I was on the tread glider at L.A. Fitness for 40 seconds & I thought I was going to pass out. How pathetic. I stuck to it & lasted for 20 mins & went to an Abs workout class that lasted an hour. I wanted to give up SO bad. I saw a lady give up 30 mins. into the class. She put away her weights, mat & I wanted to scream, "take me with you!" but instead I focused back on the class & on all the other woman (yes all woman) who stuck it out.
To be honest I almost didn't make it to the gym. Among, my fear of showing up & looking like an out of shape goof ball I couldn't help but see the glowing lights to Target & the vision of me sitting on the couch vegging out sounded like a perfect escape......but I fought the urge & instead made it & stayed for a full workout. And on top of staying I even rec'd a shoe compliment (a woman after my own heart). With everything said & done I have to admit.....I feel pretty damn good. Pretty damn sore, hungry, tired good :) Can't wait to fight the snack demons tomorrow.
