Day One: So It Begins

September 24, 2007

So, I woke up this morning with enthusiasm and a sense of dread. Enthusaistic because this was the day I would stop the madness and begin losing weight. Dread.......because I would have to get on a scale to begin my journey. So, I woke up, took care of the morning routine, and then stepped on the scale. I was not surprised by the number. I knew it would be high, and I was right. For the first time in my life, I weighed more than 200 lbs. In fact, my weight read 202 lbs. In the past, that would've set me on a wave of eating. And then, I only weighed 170. Now, seeing that number made me determined.

As always, when I start a diet, I forget to go grocery shopping. To me, grocery shopping is as interesting as watching grass grow. So, later on tonight, I will go to the grocery store to get the foods for my diet success.

Here's what I had today:

Breakfast:
1 Eggo waffle 90 calories

1 cup of coffee 0 calories

Lunch
2 tbsps of peanut butter 200 calories

one apple 80 calories

Snack

Dinner
Smart One Meal 220 calories

Snack

and WATER!!!!!!!!


So, that's what I did for day one. Funny thing about the water. I am a teacher, and drinking so much water is not fun. We can't use the restroom whenever we want. I had only one prep period today. Boy did I run to the ladies room. :>)
