Day 1

Okay folks... let me start this by saying "I HATE WORKING OUT!!!!"

Yes, I do realize that this is going to be a journey that I hopefully won't regret, but my goodness I hate it! I am starting on a journey today that will change my life forever and I am SO excited about it, yet I know it will be a lot of hard work and dedication. Take this as my commitment statement!

I am trying my best to do all the things that I possibly can to do this fitness lifestyle change with the greatest possible outcome. I have attempted diets and workout routines in the past and they have nearly always failed me... or rather I them. I am starting this journey by making small goals and commitments that I believe I can actually do... and trying my best for at least 10% of my goal weight to be off before Christmas!

Today I did about an hour of brisk walking/running. I would guess that I logged about 2 or 3 miles in my lovely stroll around Irving! Cardio is one of the best ways to burn calories... and also one of the quickest ways to see weight loss. I followed that up by a little bit of brief strength training 2 sets of 20 reps of crunches and 2 sets of 20 reps of push-ups (yes, the girly knee down ones... hopefully I will do real ones soon!).

I then made a pretty tasty smoothie from the following ingredients!

1 Banana
2 TBS. Oikos Greek Vanilla Yogurt by Dannon
1 Serving (240ML) of Acai Berry V8 Mixed fruit and vegetable juice
Ice

The smoothie itself had only about 370 calories and actually makes my taste buds happy!!

Well that is all for today!

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!
