It's Been a Cold Day...

Ok maybe it isn't THAT cold but I feel like I can't get warm! Hi all, I am thinking about making my posts a daily thing so here I go. I didn't do anything really awesome today except for putting my clothes in the dryer and waiting for them to finish upstairs, only to find out an hour later that I had never pressed start, yep that stunk.
Hmmm well about my healthy choices today, I had a breakfast that consisted of rice krispies with fat-free milk, 3 egg whites with a slice of low fat cheese on top and three slices of turkey bacon. I felt like I was eating for two and it was only 9 points! I know that means nothing to you non-Weight watchers people but personally I get 30 points a day and that is just a regular sized meal!
I also had a really good workout this afternoon in my Zumba class. I think there is a point in every workout when I realize that I am the master of my body and that I can choose to power through or give up. I think that I have gained a lot of confidence from this. It is really empowering to feel complete control over my body. So that is what I would challenge you to do; next time you are working out, try to tell yourself that you are in control and that you can CHOOSE what your body does. I will be the first to say that I often "give up" too early when I am working out but I think I am slowly working towards being able to power through and achieve better results.
I also thought I would tell ya'll about my challenge this weekend. I am going to a place where the cheese flows like wine and the pasta flocks to my hungry mouth. Yes, I am heading to my parents house. Luckily for me they all know that I am on a diet and my mom asked me to make a list of what food I will need to survive but I am still worried. I know for a fact that my mom is going to be making her BBQ beef sandwiches and I don't know if I'll be able to limit how much I have! I guess we will know by Monday. Also I have a date with the scale tomorrow morning so wish me luck! As my roommate Krislyn would say LOVE YA!
