Day 1

What a day!! I hate dieting!!! Day 1 is done and over with... I made it through but it was difficult! I have a headache now and I'm very hungry. I'm snacking on a few SnackWells Creme Sandwich cookies and then that will be it for the night.

One thing I learned today was if I take very small bites and eat slowly I will fill up quicker and eat less. The morning was easy. I had crackers and peanut butter for breakfast (I know not exactly a good breakfast but its what I was in the mood for). I had a Subway turkey wrap for lunch. The afternoon and evening was the hardest!! I was so hungry for most of the afternoon and I wanted to snack on junk food. For an afternoon snack I again had peanut butter and crackers. I was at work and all I had was PB and crackers so thats what I ate. After work I went to Stop & Shop. I bought a couple healthy snack options such as apples, grapes, veggies and fat free ranch dressing. I also bought lettuce and all the makings for a salad. I plan on making a salad and bringing it to work for lunch tomorrow. I also bought fat free Italian dressing.

I was planning on coming home tonight after work and doing Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred. But my Dad called and asked if I would come over and help him clean out some of the things in my Mom's craft room. So I did that and its now 8 and I just got home. I'm watching House now and snacking on my SnackWell cookies but afterwards I plan on doing some form of exercise. I will probably walk on the treadmill for a half hour.

According to RevolutionHealth.com for my height, weight and age I should consume 2167 calories daily. That seems like an awful lot to me so I plan on trying to stick between 1300 and 1400 daily. I find it's difficult for me to track my calories unless it's a prepacked food because I don't know how many calories so and so contains. I know I can look it up online and do research but to be completely honest that seems like too much work for me. I'm trying though keep track of my calories.
