Day 1 on my journey

So today is my first official day on my journey to lose 70lbs. I woke up this morning had a protein shake with soy milk and fresh fruit that came up to 300 calories. Then my boyfriend and I went to a hiking trail near by. This trail about killed me! We walked up a fairly steep trail for about an hour and then back an hour. That's right 2HOURS of walking on a low mountain trail. I can already feel it in my legs! When I got home I ate a baked potatoe with jalopeno juice and some organic apple sauce. I would estimate this meal was about 400 calories. For dinner I have greenbeans with mushrooms and a slice of toast. This will probably be about 500 calories since we used some cream of mushroom to season it. While I think that I have not accumulated enough calories today, tommorrow will be easier since I will wake up earlier then 10:30.

Once again my biggest concern is after I leave work (where I am now) and go home, how will I avoid the food demon lurking in the house that brings me cravings at night when I know I shouldn't be eating? If anyone has some advice please let me know! Until then stay healthy and wish me luck!

ps...no weight loss yet but this week should yield some good results.
