Workouts begin

I'm on my third day or working out and counting calories. The workouts are going great! I'm not AS sore as I thought I would be, and I feel that my arm and tummy muscles are getting stronger. The calorie part is harder. Being home most of the day it's tempting to open the cupboards and eat. Going out it's tempting to buy all the junk food I'm craving. Worse yet, eating out. We went to Applebees for my mom's birthday and it was really hard to not get desert. The 550 calorie menu was a life saver.
