Day 2

So im not sure how often I will post blogs but today I feel like I should really vent. Last night I was starving. I think I didn't eat enough calories and when I got home after work I was really feeling it. Since that is normally my time to binge I realized that today I have to be better at eating enough so im not starving and craving food so late at night. I solved the problem by eating a pickle. While I shouldn't have eaten anything, Justin rationalized that I should just eat a pickle since there is like 8 calories in an entire pickle and then go to bed before I get hungry again. haha what would I do without him?

I have also decided to put my face on a picture of a body I want thanks to a handy website. I put this pic on my fridge and on my dresser mirror. I figured the fridge is a great place since I will see my goal before I can pull food out to stuff into my mouth. The mirror in the bedroom is so when I get dressed in the morning, my weight goal is the first thing I see. I have also crafted some before and after pictures of a few of my best friends that have gone through a weight transformation and put them on my fridge (thanks Natasha and Leigh anne, ya'll rock!!)

So with my motivation on the rise, today I kicked butt at the gym. I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes and the treadmill for 30 minutes. Since I was running late for work I decided to do my core workout at home tonight using my handy MTV pilates dvd. Food has been better for me today too. I ate a larger breakfast consisting of apple sauce, a piece of toast, grapes, and a protein shake adding up to about 400 calories. I figured the bigger the breakfast the less I would eat through out the day. It really worked today. I have been less hungry so far. Lunch was a small baked potato and a bowl of green beans.

Tonight I plan on eating dinner as soon as I get home, 6:30ish, and cooking all of my lunches for the week since I start a new job tomorrow. With me getting up earlier, going to work 8-5, then gym 6-8, I should have a stricter schedule and less cravings. Im ready! wish me luck
