Day 1

Well, I went and ran today. Does that count?

I was all set to get up and run at 6am this morning. I had even made Chris SWEAR to push me out of bed no matter what excuse I came up with.

6am came...and what did I hear? Clark was awake. And she WAS NOT going back to bed. In our house, Saturday is my sleep in day and Sunday is Chris' day. So, seeing as how today was Sunday....I could make a choice. Take Clark with me on my run (I hate pushing the jogging stroller...its hard enough for me to run, much less run AND push a stroller) or wait and go running later.

So, I did. I went an ran (more like a reallllly slow jog) during Clark's naptime. It wasn't much fun really, but I ran further than I thought I would. I must say, running in the middle of the day is not my favorite. There is no darkness to hide the bouncing fat rolls. Its embarrassing really. BUT, I did it!

I stopped to walk 3 times on my route through the neighborhood. I'm not sure exactly how far my little route is...maybe a mile? Sad.

As for my diet today? Uhm...I didn't have ANY fast food! I had my cottage cheese for breakfast and string cheese for snack. When we came home from church, I was starving and had 2 eggs in a basket plus a PB and J. Can you tell I need to make a grocery run? And dinner tonight was pasta. Definitely NOT on the diet plan, but I have made a list of healthy snacks/meals and am going grocery shopping for those items asap.

I hope that someday I'll be better at improvising and making a healthy meal, but I'm so bad at that right now. If "I need an easy/quick meal to make" it always ends up being bad for me. So, it helps me to have a list of healthy options in place to help me in those moments. And if you know me, then you also know that I really like lists. A LOT.

Tomorrow is a work day....wish me luck. There seems to always be unhealthy-for-me food in the break room...I MUST RESIST!

Oh, and I weighed myself again this morning and I weighed 180.2 lbs. Apparently just thinking healthy thoughts doesn't actually make you loose weight...who knew!
