Cake...

So zumba didn't happen today. I did go, but when I got there nobody else showed up. It would have been me and the teacher. I'm not good enough to feel comfortable with that much one on one attention, so I made the decision to go without doing the class. I just don't feel like having someone be able to watch me closely the entire time. Part of the draw is knowing that nobody is really paying super close attention to what I am doing. Sure, the instructor will glance at you, and sometimes give you some help if you look like you are struggling, but she is not staring at you the whole time. I will go tomorrow and do the toning class instead. Not to miss my workout  I stopped at target for shampoo on the way home and ended up walking the mall to be sure to get some movement in.

I will admit I splurged today, but it was a tiny splurge. Today was my graduation party, so I celebrated my hard work with my friends. I did not over eat, but I did have  a piece of cake. However, I had already decided one piece of cake was just fine before had I even arrived, so I had a plan and stuck to it! One piece, and that piece was divine! If I'm really going to change how I approach healthy eating and exercise I know I can't make myself feel deprived. That is a guarantee that I will mess up and feel super guilty at some point. Guilt does not do anything to improve my self worth, so its better to allow treats on occasion. As long as I remember to keep them as an occasional thing, it will be fine.

I feel like I'm getting a grip on things and I'm so excited to see life continue to get better and better as time goes on. I just have to stay in the moment and breathe.
