Today was the dreaded first day. My day started off early, I had breakfast and headed of for the gym. I did 60 minutes of cardiovascular work; it was a great quick start!
Okay, so I went to weigh my self at the gym to get my beginning weight. I was not happy. I had gone on a diet and exercise plan in mid 2010 and I got down to 285 pounds from 300 lbs back then. I thought maybe AT LEAST I had gone up to 300 lbs again.
I weighed in at 341pounds. I was/am very shocked and disappointed. The thing is though, when I was counting the calories I was eating today I was more conscious about how many I was eating, which is good in a way I guess. It was actually hard to end up eating the 1500 calories I need a day.
Today was a success for it being a first day. I'm not going to lie, I had 3 cookies during the day. I couldn't help it, but I am sure the cravings will go away as I keep on working out and eating healthier.
My observation today: taking your time to make your own food will help you appreciate the meal and helps you become more satisfied.
Hope everyone has a successful day tomorrow!
