Day #5 - Dancing

Well today is day five and I feel proud of myself as I think I am doing really doing good.  I know that soon, especially with the holidays coming with various activities and seeing people in social situations, I am going to have things that are not per say, on my diet.  But, I am really going to try to be cognizant of what and how much I am eating, and try to fill up on the things I can have.  I am not going to go crazy and not some goodies, but little bits at a time.

Vito went fishing today and tomorrow is the Bocelli concert, so I am trying to figure out what I am going to wear.  I feel like I wear black all the time, which I have always had a tendency of doing, but especially since I gained weight, it seems to be the color you can hide behind.  I will probably wear black dress pants or black skirt, but I think I am going to be bold and wear a red and black top, mostly vibrant red.  Why not it's the holiday season and I am tired of hiding behind black.  If I look big, so be it!  I'm not as big as I was last month at this time and I know that next month I will look better than I do now.  I think I am going to look festive as that is how I feel.

I had my usual breakfast today, even though I cooked Vito ham and eggs this morning.  He is not dieting with me, but I am sure he is not eating as much with me doing this as usual, so maybe he will actually loose a little too.  I had a treat today for lunch, several pieces of cheese; once a week I can do this.  It was good too.  I actually thought I would eat more of it than I did.  I really didn't want but a couple of pieces. I have been drinking water and hot tea like it is going out of style.  That is helping I'm sure.

TIP:  I still haven't worked out my exercise plan yet, but today with Vito gone, I turn on some Michael Jackson music and tore down!!  That's right I danced with my dog until I was breathless and had worked up a good sweat.  Dancing is fun and something I always have loved and I really don't get the chance to do it often, Vito hates to dance, although he is a good dancer.  I am sure it has to do with his weight, even though he would never admit it.  I can't hold out dancing like I use to either with my weight, but I feel it is a good exercise and it makes me happy.  At least it is movement that that is what counts.

NOTE:  If I can build up some stamina and get some of this weight off, I swear I am going to learn the Thriller routine.  Now that's a challenge.
