215

Today I weighed myself and I was a little lighter, 215. However, I don't consider this a weight loss because my weight can fluctuate depending on what time of day it is and how much I've eaten thus far. I exercised this morning on an empty stomach. I actually wasn't hungry this morning at all. But I just woke up, did about 20 minutes on the treadmill, and in about half an hour I'll eat some eggs and yogurt or something.

Yesterday was actually Day 1. It went pretty well, and uneventful. I got up, exercised for 20 minutes on the treadmill (right now I'm walking and running- alternating). I didn't have much time before I had to go to work so I ate right after exercising. I made scrambled eggs and ate a fat free yogurt and a glass of water.

At work I ate a banana and applesauce for snacks. Lunch was a Lean Gourmet (because they're so cheap and I don't have enough time to make anything). I drank only water. I was also tempted when my co-worker brought in home made desserts (why would she do that to us?)- creme brulee and chocolate cake because she was just "trying to get rid of it because she'll never eat it." Never will I, but thanks for bringing that into my day... thats great. Oh well, if I get through this and am thing again the self control I'm learning will be good for me.

On the treadmill I keep a picture of me in my prom dress, it's kinda like a reminder of how far I've come, and how far I need to go.

I'm only going to measure myself once a week, so next Monday I'll probably post those again. Maybe I'll have made some progress, but this early on I'm not expecting any. The beginning is always the hardest part: doing all this work, and for the first week or two not really feeling like I'm getting anything out of it. Once I make it past those first rough spots, hopefully I'll have even more motivation.
