Food is the original social media

Today was the OFFICIAL first day of school, and I must say it was fairly uneventful.  SC wasn't in the office breathing down my neck and when I got all my work done I just went home, which was great because I got to make a healthy lunch wrap and take Cooper for a walk. I had a pretty good work out today: 30 mins cardio, 20 mins of circuit training and then about 10-15 of abs/stretching. I swear there is nothing in this world better then a good butt stretch after the stair master and walking on an incline. I even had a healthy light meal of 2 tofu dogs with Guacamole and freshly sliced tomatoes with moz cheese before heading to lead my first Athletes for Sexual Responsibility class with Mr. Swag_Boy himself (obviously we rocked it even though I'm not an athlete and he's not sexually responsible). But then my friend Matt invited me to get OHOP with him cause Mondays is 2 for one pizza, and I realized what my major diet downfall will be: the sociality of food.

I am perfectly eating healthy if I just eat all the healthy food I buy, don't drink, and don't go out to eat unless it's sushi or salad. Fat chance. Half of the battle with food is that it's such a social thing. My whole plan with Matt was centered around food. It wasn't just to hang out, it was specifically to do it around food because of a specific pizza deal. And I know come football season it won't just be come over to watch the game, it will be go somewhere to get wings, beer and watch the game. So how does one stay healthy in a world where often times being social= getting food? I think will power is going to have to play a key roll in overcoming this obstacle. I did ok tonight, I only had two pieces of pizza, which honestly for me is pretty good since BBQ chix pizza is my fave and I could honestly take down an entire pie. In the future, I think it should just be one piece. Or if it's to a bar for a game, get either beer or wings, but not both. Portion control and not over indulging is gonna have to be the winning strategy.
On a different note, having a dog in the house has def upped my activity level, because I always feel so guilty when I leave him that every time I come home I take him for a quick walk, and usually one long on in the morning, plus my gym time. They say the best way to get in shape is not just to hit the gym 5-6 days a week but to up your level of physical activity throughout the day. I certainly am feeling like I have more energy!

Good night all, thanks for following my progress! Should have a weight loss check in by the end of the week!
