Nothing Unhealthy–Day 1

Well, here we are.  One day down and a second day started.  I’m just here to report that Day 1 went fine.  Fine if you don’t count my excessive feelings of hunger, the overwhelming urge to snack non-stop, and the pounding headache I had developed by noon for lack of my usual coke.  Sure.  No problem.  Piece of cake.  Joyous occasion, was day 1.

UGH.

Now here we are, and I should be outside starting my Couch 2 5K and here I sit.  Typing away.  Oh, I’ve made up 100 excuses in my mind already.  Yes, I have.  Like, I’ll start tomorrow. Or, it’s too cold out.  Or, I’ll do it tonight.  Yes people, it’s the dark underbelly of the non-motivated Christie.  And it’s u-g-l-y. 

Day 1 Menu

Breakfast:  Mini Bagels, Lox, and Low-fat Cream Cheese, banana

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich with tomato and vegenaise (don’t even ask!) and some grapes

Afternoon snack: 7 almonds (yes, I counted them), handful of blackberries, 2 pretzel rods

Dinner: Leftovers in small portion.  This was two small slices of roast beef, about three tablespoons of mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts

Evening Snack: Carrots dipped in about 1 tbsp of Low-fat Caesar

See!  I told you I was eating all day!  Or craving all day…whichever. 

I didn’t have a coke, but I did have coffee and water.

I didn’t exercise, but that wasn’t the plan to begin with.  The plan is 3x a week and it’s supposed to be M-W-F.  Yeah.  I’m still sitting here…

How did your first day go?  It's not too late to sign up!  See the post below and get your hat in the ring!

Meanwhile, I kinda feel like I’m obsessing about Coke.  What is in that stuff?  It’s more than caffeine, people…just saying. 

And also?  I don’t like this challenge.  When I got on the scale this morning, an automated voice said “one at a time, please”. 

UGH!
