Insanity hurts

Today I did my work out and finally completed an entire video.  Since I've started I've managed to get through 30 minutes of it, but can't seem to get through the last 10 minutes.  Today, I finally did it. I did have to take breaks throughout the video (again, I don't feel so bad because so do the incredibly fit people in the video), but I made it through to the end.  My knees hurt and my ankle hurts, but I always feel better after a work out, even if I'm in pain.  I'm proud of myself and can tell that I'm improving.  My stamina anyway.
I got on the scale this morning and had gained one pound.  I know that one pound could be just water weight.  I'm actually telling myself that I gained muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. It's still a bummer though to get on that scale and see the number go up instead of down.  So I've decided not to do that anymore.
I have decided not to measure my success by how much I weigh.  I've seen a picture of girl who gained 10lbs and looked thinner because she gained 10lbs of muscle.  As tempting as it is to get on the scale and see  it going down, it is too much of a let down if it doesn't.  So, from now on, I want to measure my success by how feel, look, and how my clothes fit.  If my clothes are looser than I will know that I am heading in the right direction.
That being said, I did not eat the way I should have this week.  For most of the day I would.  I'd eat a bowl of healthy cereal for breakfast and then apples or Greek yogurt for snack and a Lean Cuisine for lunch. Then we would have tacos and chips with cheese dip for dinner.  This coming week and following weeks, it's going to get real though.  Matt is going to be traveling for a long while, so during the week I'm going to be eating a lot of grilled chicken.  Salads, vegetables, and all sorts of healthy stuff.  One small problem I have with Matt home is that he does not really like chicken.  He would rather have beef.  But now he'll be gone and I'm going to eat good.  When he does come home, well, he's just going to have to suffer through some chicken for a few nights until he leaves again.  I wish that I could do fish as well, but I live in middle Georgia.  There isn't exactly fresh fish in the supermarkets here.  I'm going to have to explore other options though, because I know I'll get sick of chicken too.
Exercise wise, I have done great.  Since Sunday I have worked out everyday except yesterday.  Today should have been my off day, but I took yesterday.  Tomorrow I won't be doing a video, but Matt and I are taking the kids to Tallulah Gorge and hiking to the falls.  It's about a mile to a mile and half walk, so we should get a couple miles in tomorrow.
I'm really going to work harder on the eating next week.  Since the exercise is coming so easily, I really hope that I can put more of my will towards eating the right food.
