Week 1

Back to it - week 1

I'm very excited, sore but excited. Got back into eating better this week. Really planning meals, having healthy choices on hand and #1 priority- working out & getting into some training for Oct 1st which is right around the corner.

Oct 1st is when I walk/run the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon.
My stepbrother signed me up for it months ago and the moment of truth is upon me.
I have been in a funk, not a deep funk, but a funk nevertheless and now I've got to work myself out of it.
I started. Everybody has to start somewhere.

Well this week was it for me.
Next week I do a 5K and the following week a 10K

So thats my prep that I have planned for the half marathon.

Hopefully I can keep a food/fitness journal right here on my blog.

SUCCESS - I can do this one day at a time.

Food log-pathetic!

Pathetic is at least somewhere to start. I can not believe I'm going to log back into my blog only to post this pathetic version of a food journal. Maybe I might possibly look back on this and laugh?

Today: no real "meals" to speak of and even as I type this out at 11:36 at night I'm not a bit hungry and I really haven't eaten anything proper.

Started the day with my usual coffee, large, Slenda and FF creamer.
1 slice of oatmeal bread toast on my way out the door
1 glass of water before I left the house

Get to work, went to the vending machine and got a bag of peanut M&Ms and a Diet Coke, WOW! Bfast of champions!

Past noon, I was hungry and grabbed a big handful of triscuits minis from my desk drawer where I try to keep on hand with mini babybels (cheese) for a snack. But no babybel today.
An hour later hungry (probably from zero protein) and I have a granola bar spread with peanut butter.

Late in the afternoon I have one of my 100 calorie snacks that I make myself, but this time it's strawberry/raspberry granola. Yikes more granola!!

All I had the remainder of the day was a bottle of diet raspberry green tea and lots of water.
