..:It's Paying Off:..

Trust in the process. Eat clean. Workout. Lift weights. Drink water. Do it again and again. Everything will fall into place and you'll be one happy girl (like me!!).

      I am so happy about my body right now. I've lost inches where I want to and grown inches in places that I want to too. The progress has been slow... but the progress is making it more enjoyable to be in the gym and to want me to lift heavier! I have to admit doing the same workouts as Duong has really helped out alot too. He pushes me to do that extra rep and encourages me to up my weights.

      Today is Day #10. I have not consumed one direct carb... Not even one pieces of sweets! No money has been paid to Hon. I went out to two restaurants to eat with friends and managed to order clean meals! Of course I paid alot more money.. It's much cheaper to eat the pasta and burgers, but not this time around. I paid extra for that steak and that salmon. I went to a birthday party and didn't have any alcohol, instead I sipped on diet coke. There was no pressure from friends... because we're not in college anymore. My friends respected my decision. Just 30 more days until my schedule cheat meal. It'll be when Lia and Rich are in town. We're going to P.F. Chang's. I'll probably order a noodle dish (that's what I miss the most) and a yummy cocktail to sip on!

      I worked out before I meet Duong.. but it was alot more cardio and I continued to ask myself "Why am I not toned yet?" I was lifting 5lbs because I was afraid to turn into a HULK... Little did I know.. Genetically it can't happen!

      Aside from that, it's Spring Break for me and I'm loving it. I spent the whole day yesterday at my mom's with my sisters cooking and cleaning. Today's schedule is to relax and do some research about Thailand and Vietnam.

      Since getting married, I have been asked by nearly everyone about when I am going to have kids. I simply just want to enjoy married life and want to make more memories with husband for now. I see it all around me how difficult it is to have children and I know I'm not ready for it. Sure, there might not be such a thing as ready for it... but I just want to be able to feel more secure about it. Yes, its pure selfishness if you'd like to call it that. Maybe after this summer! :P
