So the saying goes "life's a marathon, not a sprint".....I'm not sure I'm in shape for either.
Well today was day one and it was a rocky first day. I woke up sort of late and ended up having a piece of leftover egg foo yung from last night. Not a very good start...I ended up going to the store and library with my boyfriend where I got a few movies, one of them being the 8 minute Tae Bo workout. Once I got home I ended up having 3 bagels with cream cheese in a 5 hour period!!!! YIKES!!!
I don't even know why I ate them, actually I do. I was selfish. I knew going into this that it was going to be hard for me to cut out some of the pasta and breads but there is no excuse for me to have that many bagels in one day. Good lord. Well after eating all those bagels I felt guilty so I did the treadmill for half an hour and a few sets of free weights. Then I popped in my tae bo video and got my tushy kicked. Unfortunately this is the advanced video and it gave me a cardio workout that I'm sure I'm going to feel tomorrow. Luckily I'm still fairly agile for my weight so I was able to do most of the exercises on the tape, but there were a couple of spots where I had to just march along with the video.
After working out I realized that if I hadn't eaten all those bagels and the fried food for breakfast I would be a lot better off after all the working out. Well there's nothing I can do about it now except learn from my mistake and hopefully I won't do it again.
Unfortunately I also feel like I'm getting sick (I think I'm getting my boyfriend's cold) but with all the water I'm drinking hopefully it will just go through my system quickly. Regardless of how this cold makes me feel I'm going to try and work out 5 days a week or more for the next month. I've heard that if you do something 30 days in a row then it becomes habit so that's what I intend on doing. Since I don't think very highly of myself either I've also decided to include a mantra to say every day in the hopes that this 30 day thing applies to the way you think as well. "Today I will like myself"
Alright well I think I'm going to shower, have a few grapes and stretch before bed.
Good luck everyone!

It's actually kind of surprising because the last couple of days I've had some food that I know I shouldn't have but my weight still went down. I have been drinking more water and I've been making more of an effort to get more activities in my day so it must be paying off. Hopefully I can keep this up and be down another 5 pounds in a few weeks (I'm going to a function for my boyfriend's grandfather and it'd be nice to be down a little more by then)
