Counting Calories

Well it's official, I started my journey to a better me yesterday. I have to say it was a pleasant start. I wasn't overly hungry at any point. I didn't have a mental break down and hide in the pantry with a bag of chips. I didn't evan turn into a human vacuum and devour whatever was left on my kids plates at lunch. I ate smart, I counted my calories and felt pretty good about myself. I didn't let the food control me, I was in charge. That is big for me, because usually I am so tempted and I eat whatever I want. When I was hungry (two hours after my breakfast of eggs) I grabbed a fuze beverage, 10 calories, and sipped it for a while.

I ran into an exercise road block, I couldn't get the tread mill to work, but I should have been more diligent in getting it done. I did however get up at 6 AM and did some yoga. It was a little slow for my taste, but it's better than staying in bed until my kids come and beg me to get up.

And best of all I weighed in this morning at 161.8.

  1. Good Job!!! I'm trying to figure out what kind of exercise I can do at home, cause I just can't seem to make it to the gym... I'm not a fan of the videos... but I think that's my only option... I can finally move on to eating better, now that my huge bag of M&M's is gone...

  2. Way to go on the early morning. That is really the only way I can guarantee myself a workout. After 21 days, it gets easier..... I think. and Jen, sorry about the huge bag of m&m's by the way, totally my fault. I had to get them out of my house:)
