Today was temptation central! I went shopping all by myself! My boyfriend sent me out into the big bad world to fetch a few ingredients that he needed for dinner. I also needed to buy a scale so I adventured to Walmart and walked nicely by all the chips, soda and cannoli that Walmart was selling. Did the same at the grocery store and passed by all kinds of fast food places without stopping. A big accomplishment considering a few weeks ago I might have popped by McD's instead of patiently waiting for my boyfriend to finish making dinner. It;s also the first time I went out to shop by myself since the re-start of this diet. Lately I've been under my boyfriend's watchful eye, and having him guide me has made all the difference. But I succeeded on my own today! Yay me! He also made me the most delicious Potabello burger EVER! Seriously. I thought I was gonna die when I bit it! SOOO GOOOD.

I also went down to sample what my apartment complex's fitness center has to offer. Verdict: It sucks. Almost all of the machines do not work, and none of them have the monitors I need on them. Like a heartrate monitor or a timer....or anything. Also the elliptical machine (the only one that would turn ON) was hard to run on. It felt like it hadn't been oiled in a while. It popped my knee out. But even with that I did 30 minutes and a mile on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the elliptical before it hurt me. Exercise, hooray!
