It was tough to wake up this morning, but I am so glad we did it and got to the gym! It was a great workout, I increased my speed a little on the running part and I felt great. The real motivation for me getting out of bed was that I didn't want to miss this week's mini-goal and if I didn't go this morning, it would have been tough to get all my workouts in. That was great motivation for me!

I'm driving to Greenville after work tonight to go out with some friends. I've already looked at the menu of the restaurant where we're going out and I have a healthy option picked out for dinner. I'm going to have a few glasses of wine probably, so I may go over my calories, but it is a special occasion, so I'm okay with that. I'll also try to make up for it by having really healthy days Saturday and Sunday.

I have not had any soda all week! This has been huge for me! I did replace my morning Diet Mtn. Dew with coffee and I've really enjoyed it. Otherwise, all I've been drinking is water and it's felt really good!

I had a fabulous time in Greenville, but I did go over on calories (I'm not sure how much, but I know I went over on dinner). I made a good choice for my meal, but ended up sharing an appetizer with others and trying some sweet potato fries. And I should have stuck to one glass of wine, but it was great to kick back and catch up with my friends. I guess I did get in an extra hour and a half of cardio though, when we went dancing after dinner!
