Day 1 - Weight Loss Journey

Exercise:

This morning I was supposed to wake up at 5am, have about a 15-20 min wake up session in front of the PC and begin day one of my 'Couch to 5k' program...REALITY: 5am alarm went off, hit snooze 5 times, alarm no longer snoozes, don't get up until 6am.  Well, that sucked.  Since I didn't have much time, rather than beginning the 'Couch to 5k' program this morning, instead, I completed my 'fitness evaluation' for The Biggest Loser Kinect Game.  My program is now setup for my 'Couch to 5k' off-days.  Tomorrow...tomorrow I will get up and go for a run outside.

Food:

Okay, Michelle, this one's for you. I took pictures of everything I ate today. Some of my choices weren't the best, but I managed to stay under my calorie allocation for the day. Though I could really use some of the Reece's Peanut Butter cups that are sitting on top of my fridge. =(


For breakfast, I had a wonderful packet of Weight-Control Cinnamon Spice Oatmeal.

Lunch included a Salmon and Basil Lean Cuisine & a Nectarine.

Forgot to take a picture until I had already started these.  Walgreen's Brand 'Nice' Sunflower Seeds, low sodium and a large serving size.  When 'snacky' these are the perfect option!

Needed a little more fuel around 4pm.

Dinner: We had pizza this weekend and had leftovers that needed eaten.  I had one slice of pepperoni and one of 'The Works'.  Also had 2/3rds of a bottle of Gatorade I had started drinking yesterday.

Then decided to share a bowl of blueberries with Owen for 'dessert'.

My entire food diary for the day.  Although bad choices, managed to stay under my daily goal.

Emotionally:

I still seem to be mostly positive today.  There were a couple brief moments of 'woe' when someone mentioned Olive Garden had a 20% coupon for lunch this week.  Also, when I think of the candy on top of the fridge that I can't have.
