So, you ask:
AJ- HOWDYA DO ON YOUR FIRST DAY???
Pretty good thank you. Not the best, not the worst.
Here’s what I ate:
- 1 single size low fat cottage cheese
- Fruit 2 Day- Cherry Grape
- small honey crisp apple
- 1/2 of a 3 egg omelet (ham and low fat cheese)
- cut fresh fruit
- 8 oz fresh squeeze OJ
- 1 piece whole wheat toast with 1 tsp homemade grape jelly (no butter)
- (dinner- not sure yet but probably a salad with veggies and a small amount of vinaigrette dressing, a bit of low fat cheese, maybe some baked chicken if I get some gumption)
- 3 PopChips (trying them- not my favorite yet but OK)
- WATER!!! About 40oz so far and more throughout the night
What I liked about today:
- This is the first day in about 2 months where the words “fast food” “fried” or “drive-through” has not been mentioned.
- While a formal workout was not included (but will be tomorrow) I got up early, showered, and walked alot today.
- When I realized I was tired, I stopped what I was doing and took a 2 hour nap. Usually, I would have eaten something (sugary or fatty) to keep me energized.
- DIET SODA WAS NOT IN MY BRAIN OR MY BODY TODAY!!!
I amPROUD OF MY SELF for:
- Going to the grocery store even though my friend that I am also eating healthy with did not go. She wants to start later this week (b/c she has been deathly ill and is not even hungry yet) but I made a promise to myself and I am tired of feeling crappy all the time. Just because she is not ready does not mean I am not ready. This is for me not for her.
- Going to breakfast with friends, ordering healthy and eating almost half of what you ordered is AWESOME! WTG me!
What was kind of a set back today:
- I didn’t get a workout in. I really wanted to, but the day got away from me. Not a set back, as I really want to get my eating in check first. But working out is the only way I am going to burn calories.
I think adjusting is the right word for what I did today. I am proud of myself but I know I can push myself to the limit.
