Getting better

So, I felt horrible the other day when I had 4 (or maybe 5 I can't remember :O) cookies. They were sugar cookies with lots of butter, dipped in chocolate. Nothing beats homebaked goods, and really I shouldn't have made these, but I couldn't help it!

That said, when I weighed myself yesterday, I weighed less, so maybe it won't be too detrimental to my programme! I also bought some new clothes yesterday. A pair of "pirate/combat" pants, two tops, and two hats. Very summery clothing. Bought them with both the summer and the Philippines in mind. I'm enjoying having more clothing options, actually, I'm loving it! Okay, sure, the odd item I need to buy in the plus size section just because my arse is really big haha, but otherwise, I am able to find clothes in the regular sized (albeit Large) section of stores. That's a big boost to my self-esteem.

I am feeling a bit demotivated on the training front, but I think that's something I just need to push myself to do.

Also, I am starting to take Folic Acid. Bought some yesterday. Folic acid is something that you take when you are wanting to prepare to become pregnant or if you are already pregnant you take it in your first 12 weeks. NO I'm not pregnant, but research shows that women who have taken folic acid for a year before getting pregnant greatly reduce the baby's risk of developing certain diseases, deformities. We'd like to start trying perhaps after the summer so I'm going to start taking it now...and my friend mentioned that working out my abs and my back are good preparation and to eat healthier. Just as well as I'm already trying to do that...even more reason to go back to the gym right?
