Day 3- First Day of Cardio!

So today is my 3rd day. Things have been going pretty well so far. Except...

I swore I wouldn't let myself on the scale until Sunday morning, but I got really curious yesterday. So i stepped on, and I had gained like .7 of a pound...I'm not going to lie, it's really discoraging. Which is exactly why I didn't want to let myself get on the scale.

Maybe it's because I'm not following this diet exactly? I'm following it about 75%. I haven't been eating my last meal just because my days aren't long enough to fit it in and I don't feel right eating a full meal at midnight. Maybe it's because the chicken I've been practically living off of was grilled with olive oil? Maybe its because i haven't been drinking 100 oz of water (more like 70)? Maybe its because i snuck a little salad dressing on some of my stuff?

All of those thoughts are running through my head, but the way I'm eating right now compared to how I have been eating is such a big difference, and the calories are so much lower, that I feel like even if I'm cheating a little bit, in the long run I'm making enough of a difference that I should see a lower number on the scale. I dunno. I'm going to try to put it in the back of my head until Sunday morning. I swear, if things don't look better on Sunday, i'm gonna be pissssseddd.

I had my first cardio workout today. I think the heartrate monitor was wrong on the treadmill but I'm not sure. I really hate working out at the gym because of people always being there, but I went at like noon today and it was pretty dead. Still not totally comfortable, but it was wayyyy better than going at like 5 oclock or something.

I tried to stay between 110-131 (reccommended fat burning for my age, atleast that's why the 6WBM says) and it kept switching up on me. I stayed between 2.5-2.8 the whole time. Last time, it was a lotttt slower. I wonder what this means? Probably means that I need to get a heartrate monitor.

I have school today, and i don't know how I'm going to eat because I bascially have class for 5 hours straight. I'm gonna try to just eat right before I go at 4 which will be my lunch, then maybe I'll bring some strawberries and chicken with me that I can eat really quickly in the car during a break during art class. we'll see what happens.
