Day 5

Well, it's Tuesday, so that means this is the official start of week 2. I gained a bit of weight this morning, but I'm still feeling good and staying positive. Even though it didn't show up on the scale I know that I'm making better choices, and at the very least... recognizing them. I've been walking during breaks and lunch at work which has also been positive. It's gotten me out of the office and away from my computer. It's always a draw to continue to work during breaks, and if I'm at my desk then I'm almost always working. I'm glad to have something else to occupy my time. Something that's also benefitting my health. I've also noticed that I'm having a hard time getting all of my calories in now that I'm eating cleaner foods. Maybe I need to take a closer look at that in the future, but I feel like I shouldn't worry too much about it since I'm not hungry... Actually I'm fairly full in the evening. Maybe that will change when I start working out more? Speaking of which, I had no real workout today. What is a "real" workout anyway? Do I need to endure blood, sweat, and tears to feel like I've actually performed a workout? Maybe not. Maybe something is better than nothing. It's hard to get motivated to run or workout outside when I get home and it's dark as well as cold. Not sure what I need to jump start that, but I need to do something soon. I've been looking more into body weight fitness so I won't need any actual weights or machines once I start. I did run in place in the living room for about 2-1/2 hours and accumulated a ton of steps, so I'll take it.
