5...5...5...5

"Ice-cream is in the freezer..."

It's funny how when you start eating right and working out that you seem to be given many different opportunities to eat bad. I have found with just these 5 days I've been offered more bad food than I would of ever noticed. Its not that I don't think about diving in and sitting on my kitchen floor with a can of whip cream its that I know I can resist. I have found a 'new love' for the food that I'm eating that it really isn't making me miss all the bad food.

Looking forward to working out is probably the strangest change that I have developed. I would of used to rather stab myself in my eye balls than work out. Okay maybe not that, sorry a little dramatic but I did hate it! I had to work out in the middle of the day which kinda sucked because I look better in a swim suit at night when no one is around. Ha! Just kidding! Anyways, My mom came over to swim and as I'm telling her how I looked up exercise in the pool you would of think she saw a ghost or that I said something horrible! She looks at me and says "Are you kidding me right now?! I was a swim aerobics instructor Brittany!" If you saw my mom she looks like an aerobics instructor (I surely didn't get her genes) We proceeded on with our workout which lasted a hour doing all kinda different pool exercises. To say the least, I was out of breath and my legs, arms, butt, and stomach were all on FIRE by the end of this workout. Touche Danna Touche!

I can't run 1 mile, 

not even gonna think about having to do 26...

I work in the Peds ER with what I like to think are the best nurses in the whole entire world. Many of them being runners, which to me is a crazy sport. It only seems crazy because if my body ever ran as much as them I would find myself in the ER as a patient rather than working. Well, it happens to be TECH week which means..if your on a diet that kinda sucks because there will be good food all week! Today was ICECREAM day....I walked into the back to put my bag up and first thing I hear "So Brittany what ice-cream is better health or crunch bar?" The saliva started to build up in my mouth and I knew I needed to get out and get out FAST!  The great thing about this was I didn't really want the ice cream but it was there. It was easy to get to and it was there for me to take. That is what gets me in trouble its not that I actually want the food its that its there. I mean come on I am human!  Not only was there ice cream, one of our nurses (the one whose kids I babysit) makes the best cupcakes in the whole entire world. She made a huge announcement stating how there was cupcakes in the back. At that moment, I knew I no longer could walk through the break room for the remainder of the day. 

I said I would get back to about the organization and meal planning.

So I know that all my posts have been like super positive and make it sound like this has been a great 5 days but I am struggling with something that I actually didn't think I was going to struggle with. Drinking water...I know that might be silly but,  drinking water all day and ALOT of it is hard! So I got a cute new water bottle that Im going to try out, maybe it will help ha whatcha think?!
