Day 7.

I expected phase 1 to be the hardest phase. Mostly because it's just building muscle which takes time and a lot of eating. I'm hungry all the time. I'm eating all the time. I'm not working out all the time which is why I thought this was going to be the hardest phase. I just have to trust the workout plan and relax. I'm so worried I'm going to gain weight because I'm not doing cardio. It's only been one week so I don't know for sure....The science of it makes sense but when I don't see results it's hard to know if I'm doing it right. I need feedback! But I just have to keep telling myself:

Stick. To. The. Plan.

Stick to the plan!

I only cheated twice and with good reason: my last meal with Olivia indefinitely and my last date with Matt for over a week. And by "cheat" I mean I ordered an omelette and forgot to say "egg whites only please," and I ordered a bubble tea and forgot to say "green tea only please."  But I'm not gonna harp on it.  Life's too short. And I stuck to the plan for all the other 40 meals over the last week. So I'm pretty darn proud of myself. That's a 95% success rate on the diet and a 100% on the workouts. I'll give myself an A for this week.
