making changes

For the past 7 days I've been trying to make positive healthy changes in my life. I've changed my diet; less sugar and carbs, more raw vegetables and fruits, and taking a daily vitamin. I've started exercising more; yoga, boxing, and strength training every day. The results are both good and bad. I've had some pretty sore muscles, but I guess I expected that to happen. I have more energy. I'm definitely liking that. Unfortunately I have gained a pound and the point of all of this was to help me lose weight. I hope that the pound I gained was because I'm building muscle and hopefully the weight will start coming off soon. I'm not giving up. In fact I'm considering adding more time to the workout for the next week. Maybe I'm just not exercising long enough. It would be nice to see some real results. It's difficult to stay motivated if I'm not seeing any weight loss. Well, we'll see how it goes for the next 7 days.
