Uggggh...Sore

I'm definitely not feeling any restriction. Now that I'm consciously not snacking, I'm hungry a lot more. I was starving by lunchtime today, I had oatmeal for breakfast. I was hungry last night around 10 PM, after I had a pretty big dinner. I think some of it is mental, that I just WANT to eat something, not that my body is really hungry (but it was hunger at lunch today).

I got stuck doing some extra stuff at work before I had to leave so I was afraid I wouldn't get to the gym. I hauled ass though and got out in time to get in before the door locked. About 5 minutes into the bike, my thighs were killing me and I seriously thought about stopping early and going home. I kept saying "okay, 5 more minutes and I'll stop" and I just kept saying that until I got through the 15 minutes. The elliptical seems like it's getting a LITTLE easier, but I'm still exhausted by the end of my 5 minutes. I want to try doing it before the bike so I'm not so tired and sore already, but then I don't think I'd have any energy left for the bike at all.

I'm proud of myself though--a few months ago, I would have made excuses to either skip the gym or purposely stay late at work to miss it, now I really push myself to get out on time so I can make it down there.
