Day 1

The first day went well. Fiber one bar for breakfast, 3 oz of chicken and a cup and a half of green beans, plus a low fat yogurt for lunch, a fiber one bar after school (since my lunch is more like a breakfast) and grilled chicken salad for dinner... plus 72 oz of water.

Knowing I had to go out last night, and having spent all day at work and away from my son, I didn't work out for as long as I would have liked to. I was on the elliptical for 20 minutes and the treadmill for 20.

My plan for today is to go to the gym as soon as Adam gets home from work - do at least 45 minutes of cardio and 30 of weight lifting.

Ironically, yesterday I got something in the mail from this baby thing that has cards with advice for new moms... the first card I looked at said, "Make time for yourself.. go to the gym..." I thought that was pretty on target for me to read at that moment because it was a reminder that I needed to do just that... the hard part is sticking to it.

Anywho - I started today off right. I had a cup of Special K for breakfast with 3/4 cup of 1% milk. I need to remember that it feels good to eat right and work out... so much better than being lazy and feeling gross from food.

Well, gotta start my day!!
