Day One Recap

Dieting and I have had an on again, off again relationship.  Its always getting past day one.  And I've done that, so this diet should stick for quite some time. 

Today's obstacle will be to get through the book club meeting which is being held at my house. 

The BIG dieting obstacle is to get through my one week of training that will be held in Oklahoma at the end of the month.  I have never successfully dieted on a vacation, but this may be possible since its not actually vacation, its training...

Day One good points:  Yesterday I ate 1570 calories, which is less than my goal of 1700.  I ate 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 2 servings of dairy.  The funny thing is that I had a grilled sirloin steak and a baked potato and I still ate so few calories.  It goes to show that there are a lot more calories in restaurant food.  I will try to stick with eating at home everyday this week.  It will also save money which is a wonderful thing.

Day One areas to improve:  I forgot to take my vitamins.  I didn't drink very much water, but did drink a lot more than usual.  I had several snacks after dinner.  I should have recognized that I was full.  I went for a very short walk.  I should have made more time for exercising.

Last night I downloaded a lot of audiobook torrents for my ipod.  That will motivate me to keep moving, because I will only listen when I am exercising.  I am getting ready to go for a walk now. 

Here's to getting through Day One!
