Day 1 Ow. Ooohh. Eeeee!

MY. LEGS. ARE. ON. FIRE. And my heart feels like it’s about to pop out of my rib cage. I started. It’s officially Day 1. I just finished with my work out. I won’t over-do it, because I have in the past and have greatly regretted it the next day. I am SO out of shape. I only jogged/power walked for about 15 minutes. Did 2 reps of 25 crunches, and could only fork out 15 push ups . I’ve never been the best at push-ups since I’m “top heavy”, but I could at least do 30 without collapsing. But I did it! Now, to continue doing it.

*edit* I did 25 leg lifts (those that work out your butt? Have no idea what they’re called). What I ate on 1/12/05:

Breakfast
• 1 C. coffee
• a bowl of banana/strawberry Cheerios with 1/2 C. milk

Lunch
• Salad w/ a tiny bit of bacon bits, a small amount of ranch dressing (I can’t eat that fat-free crap, ew), 5 croutons
• Small slice of lasagna
• Water

Dinner
• 1/2 McDonald’s Grilled Chicken salad
• Water

Dessert
• 1 pudding-filled Donut
• and later, a cup of Raspberry iced tea

I figured it was okay to eat the donut. It was the only “junk food” I’d had all day. Plus, I’m not doing this to starve myself or eat rabbit food for the rest of my life. I’m just limiting myself (which I’ve needed to do for a while already). I’m pretty happy with how I’m doing so far. But then again, it’s only Day 1 LOL.

I figured this is what I’ll do. Regular blog entries will have a regular title, weight loss progress with be named Day 1, Day 2, etc. I’m still debating whether to use my LJ as a weight loss journal or to make a cute little page for that here. Until then, I’ll go with this :P.

A few things to remember:
• A cup of coffee’s okay as long as you follow it up with 8oz. of water (per cup).
• 5-6 hours of sleep= faster weight gain 7-8 hours sleep=ideal sleep time

Hey girl! I’m starting my “healthier way of life” crap too. I haven’t exercised yet, but I’ve been doing better with the things I eat. I created a journal to keep up with myself so if you click my name it’ll take you to it. It’s on LJ of course LOL. If you wanna add it to your friends maybe we can like motivate each other or somethin! Good luck. I know your top-heavy pain. I do girl pushups LOL

Hey maybe we can work together! But you’re skinny to begin w/ (well compared to me anyway). But I’m sure you’ll reach your goal, whatever it is. And you’re pretty – don’t worry about Mario – he’d be crazy to be looking elsewhere. 🙂

yay! good for you for deciding to work on your weight before it really becomes an issue! I started weight watchers this week, but I have a wicked cold right now so, I can’t work out without almost passing out. lol

I really wanna see that movie White noise. I’ll have to see it now!
I loved that last episode of the biggest loser. I especially liked Kelly’s hair. I want my hair like hers!!! lol
I don’t know what the heck is up with these men these days. Always saying something mean to us! damn. I think they have pms too or something.
