Day One

Monday, August 19th:

8:30- Met with coach, worked out for half an hour.
10:30- Breakfast- 2 eggs, 1/2 C cheddar cheese, 1 cup grapes and apples
1- Mid-morning meal (a bit late ;) 3/4 C cottage cheese, 3/4 C pineapple
2:30- 6 pieces licorice
3:15- Lunch- Taco salad (lettuce, extra lean hamburger, black beans, corn, cheese, tomato, onion)
4:30- 4 pieces licorice
6- Dinner- string cheese, 1/2 cucumber, 1.5 inch slice of group hoagie sandwich

Drank 10 cups water
Pedometer steps: 4319, but I didn't wear it once I got to the lake.

-------------------------------

So all in all, it was a good start today.  I got my 5 little meals in, kept track of everything that I ate, and worked out.  I didn't get a walk in with Pippin, though.  I also had a headache most of the day.  I don't know if it was from drinking too much water or from sugar withdrawals, but it wasn't fun.  That's why I ate the licorice- to see if it would help, but it didn't.  

Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words and support.

  1. Looks like a great start, Ruth! Keep up the good work! Reminds me that it's been a long time since we took the kayak up to Hagg Lake. Might put that on our to do list while the weather is still good!

  3. I felt so bad bringing out the dang bag of chips and you ate your cucumber slices. To be honest, your cucumber slices looked much better than my bag of chips. :) I eat healthy, when I buy healthy and I need to remember that. I eat what is in the house. Love this blog! It inspires not only you, but me too, and it looks as though quite a few of your friends. I am impressed by how many steps you took and you were not at work, just hanging out in your house.
