Day 2

I downloaded My Fitness app as well as a pedometer on my phone today. I started my day by eating breakfast, something that is pretty rare for me. A bowl of cheerios with 2% milk. Is the lesser percent of milk better for you? Maybe I will work my way to drinking them, but for now I will stick with my 2%. I have a fairly flexible job that allows to me to be able to grab a snack in the morning.

I ate breakfast around 8 and then at 10 I had a yogurt. Lunch time brought another yogurt, an orange, and a leftover brat without the bun! It's all been good, but not quite so filling. So, I'm going to find some different foods that keep me a bit fuller longer. By the time I got done work at 5 I was starving.

My water intake has been tough today. I managed to drink about 18 ounces. Much of that after my workout for the evening. Speaking of, I walked while the boys were at football practice. I know, not such a big deal to most, but for me it was huge! Normally I sit and watch practice or just sit in my car depending on how my day went.

It was 90 degrees in Michigan today and it would have been so easy to just say forget it to a quick workout, but I went anyway. I walked just under a mile. It took me 17 minutes, but I burned about 69 calories! Our park has a track around it, which is where I walked today. I wanted to go around twice, but about halfway through my first round I knew that wasn't going to happen. I thought I was going to be discouraged about that, I expect quick results. But, I told myself I didn't gain this weight in a day and it is going to take much more than that to get rid of it too. I felt pretty damn good after I got back to my car. Sweaty, but good. I'm already looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow.

While I was walking, that track looked so big and intimidating. It didn't look as big when I was just casually walking it while Jack rides his bike :)

I know it's just been two short days, but in these two days I haven't even looked at the junk food stashed in the house. I'd be totally lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it, but making better food choices is key for me right now. I'm on the right track and I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

Here's to another great day tomorrow!
