Day One is happening again!

I really want to thank those who posted to my note on Facebook. It baffles me how people will comment on Facebook, however I have not had a single person comment to me on MySpace. Just an interesting observation I had.

Well, today was day one of getting back on track with my weight loss. I did not get to the point of exercising today, however I did accomplish 2 things: I logged all of the food I ate today into SparkPeople, and I also modified a weight/fitness plan that my brother Steve sent me. I felt there were parts that he used that would be beneficial for me to track, however I also felt I needed to make it my own. When I logged into SparkPeople, I realized that the last time I tracked my weight was 10/15/08. Since that date, I have gained 15 pounds. I was so close to meeting my second goal at that time, which was losing a second 10% of my body weight. I know that I can do it, but I just have to eat in moderation and force myself to exercise.

Emotions I had today: As I stated in my preface post, I am going to keep track of my emotions from the day to see what patterns I have. I would rank today at a 7 on a 10 point scale. I was pretty productive today at work. However, I was somewhat tired all day long. I want to blame this on the weather, but I also have to blame myself for not getting the rest I need. I need to take more ownership into why I feel the way I do. I also felt proud of what I accomplished today with tracking my food and working on my weight/fitness plan. I am adding a component of a meal plan to it, which hopefully will help with portions and healthier eating.

Goals for 01/27/09: I will exercise for at least a half hour; I will complete the 7-day meal plan; I will read the rest of Chapter 1 of Psycho-Cybernetics.

  2. No one uses MySpace anymore :). I am a total BLOG stalker though. Hang in there. You have made such good progress. I, too, am back on the fitness train. We are doing a Biggest Loser Residence Life challenge here this semester. No voting anyone off, good support, and money to win. So far, it's fun and a good motivator...damn that competative side of me :)

    You know you can do it, but believeing you can do is the hardest part.
