Day #5

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Happy Saturday! Today has been a very relaxing day since I did not have to work. I stayed the night with my friends at their apartment & we woke up and cooked breakfast. Bacon, scrabbled eggs, and toast with orange juice. It was a great meal to start off the day! Breakfasts like this give me energy to start my day, and cooking together is a great way to have fun with friends. They are always better than going to McDonalds and ordering a greasy McMuffin and hash browns. For lunch, I had my usual salad with cheese and ranch dressing. After running errands in the afternoon, I went and worked out. It felt great to get back into the gym. I really need to start working out regularly to go along with my no eating out. It will just add to me feeling better and healthier! I had chips and salsa around dinner time and didn't really eat a meal. I can already tell after 5 days that my body is becoming more accustomed to eating smaller portions. Fast food portions are so much larger than regular portion sizes. It is so much better to prepare meals at home so you can eat a normal sized meal, and also so you are not wasting extra food. This is the first weekend of my immersion project. I usually go out to eat a lot on the weekend. I am a little concerned how I will deal with that. I guess we'll see if I run into that problem this weekend!
