One Day Down

Day one: One day down.

That's right, a few cups of green tea, a trip to the gym and no excess carbs. I'm feeling good. Might just be the post-gym happies. No one likes going to the gym but I dare people to tell me they don't feel good after.
I threw out my favorite pair of pants today though. These beautiful pin-striped trouser pants, that were long and wide in the leg and slimming and pretty. Well.. they were pretty. I tried them on the other day, I had a meeting. OMG they looked awful. Too big in the leg, too big in the belly. Three steps and they'd fall down and they hung so low off my crotch it made me look like I had a gunt to my knees. Yeah I said it.
So, because I know I'm never going back to a size 24+ I tossed them. My next habit will be try one thing on every day, see if it still fits; if it does, keep it. If it doesn't... get rid of. The scary thing is... I'll have no cloths. Thank god for thrift shops.

I did come home to a disaster... yay kittens. But if that was the worst of my day, I think I'm okay. So.... Deal with the gym bag tomorrow morning.

I ended up forgetting my runners at work. But since I was planning on hitting the hot tub after my work out, it ended up being laps in the pool rather then a few miles on the treadmill. The next challenge is planning out the meals.


Okay here goes:

Breakfast:
1/2 cub blue berries (Go fiber)
1 package oat meal
1/2 cup almond milk. I like the almond milk. It's not something I really like drinking but, in the oat meal, it's really nice, it's lightly sweetened so I don't end up wanting to add sugar subs.

Snack:
Do I have celery... If I do I'm thinking celery with some low fat laughing cow cheese. People tell me it's bad, but... the fat content is really low. Has anyone even read the labels on cheddar?
I'll have a cup of cucumber if I don't have the celery.

Lunch:
Gotta be quick. I work at five. I'm gonna say about an hour to get to work from the gym (yay transit) An hour at the gym. Half an hour to get to the gym... omg the planning. I'm leaving at around two.
Tuna on a whole wheat bagel with some baby carrots. Believe it or not, you do need some fat in your diet to function, So... I'll use a little marge and some herb and garlic cream chease... but probably less than a table spoon of each.

I'll toss a nectarine and a handful of pecans (Hmmm pecans) in the bag to eat on the way to work. And maybe a few more carrots.

Dinner
Microwaved salmon dinner thing. Those healthy steamers are actually really great, and they aren't as bad as people think. Just watch the salt, and the calories, get the lower ones, and they are a perfect portion.
I'll also toss in a couple of yougurts... Love those little 35 calorie ones. So tasty. Some snap peas... and.. I think I'm looking good.

And when I get home, If I'm hungry, there are some strawberries in the fridge, those cut up and tossed in a little yougurt or almond milk... Tasty bits.

And damit I need to charge the iPod... okay...


I wanted to add another habit of writing every day... but I think... I need to focus on my health for a bit. I want to succeed in small goals. A little success goes a long way, but so does a little failure.

So... I'm thinking that's it. See everyone tomorrow!
