So yesterday was supposed to be Day 1 of the diet - I had off for Columbus Day (thank you Mr. Columbus, this is really a dumb holiday to have off, but I'll take it). I had plans to meet my sister in law at the mall for some shopping and lunch.

We ended up at the Cheesecake Factory - enough said. Today is now Day 1 of the diet.

So this morning, I had an Atkins Bar - Yummy! And this afternoon Bryan will be in the area where I work so we will be having lunch together. So I'll be able to stay on track wherever we end up.

Tonight I'm going to make turkey meatballs and veggies and run before hand. The 5k is this weekend and I'm nowhere near ready. I really don't think I should run in it, but I'll see how I feel by Thursday and will make a decision from there.

The first week is the hardest, I'm going to stay focused and do the best I can. I deserve this!
