Day One :)

So the day didn't start off exactly how I had expected, 5:45am is just too early for me on a Monday. But when I did wake up at 6:45am and started my day everything went great. For breakfast I had Special K Vanilla Almond cereal with a cup of skim milk, I think it has become one of my favorite cereals. Then I packed a lunch for work that consisted of Greek yogurt, 1c of blueberries and 1c of strawberries and a salad. It was delicious and I didn't even feel hungry or look for more when I was done. :) Then when the kids had afternoon snack I enjoyed a few carrots and a little bit of ranch dip. After work I went to the grocery store, blueberries and strawberries were on sale and I ran out of cereal. Dinner was quick comfort food two hot dogs each on a slice of bread and about 1/2c of baked beans. Once that was all cleaned up I broke my habit of watching T.V or put zing around the house and I changed in to my gym clothes and walked over to the community gym. What a mess! The gym is in the club house of my community. It has two treadmills, two ellipticals, and two stationary bikes along with some weight machines and every machine was being used. I have never seen the gym that busy, of course I was not a faithful member, but still that is crazy! So I did one weight machine and decided to go home to use my Wii. I psyched myself up for that work out turned on the T.V., turned on the game and tried to use the controller and neither of the batteries were charged. For a brief second I thought "maybe I'm not suppose to exercise tonight" but then realized I was just trying to make up excuses. So at about 9:30pm after I made my lunch for tomorrow I decided (with my boyfriends encouragement) to go back to the gym and try again. SUCCESS! I burned just over 200 calories and went 2.04 miles in 20 minutes. I was hoping to workout a bit longer today,my goal is 45 minutes a day but at 9:30 at night I decided that was good enough. So the lesson learned today, stick to this and it will work and don't give up on exercise because it feels great in the end.
