Day 1...............7-14-11

My first day....

AM
I didn't get much sleep last night because I was constantly thinking about how my first day is going to go, what I will eat, and how I will resist temptation. Although last night isn't any different from my nights in the last 3 weeks or so, I really haven't had a good nights sleep. I'm hoping once I start taking my vitamins again and the Diet Pak vitamins that will change.

I'm still feeling confident and am anxious to start my day! I still need to plan out my meals and snacks for the day. I'm going to see how that goes this morning. I may choose to plan the night before depending on what is planned for the day.

My Starting Stats:
*Current Weight 227.2
*Current Measurements
         waist - 48 in
         hips - 52 in
         chest - 49.5 in
         thigh - 26 in
         L arm - 15.5 in


*These pictures were very hard for me to put up here, but I think if I'm going to commit to this 110% it's what I needed to do. It definately put my into a reality check! I will post pictures in about a month or so to see if and how I have made progress.....

PM

Today was a succussful day! No tough obstacles to face which is always good. I must say that for most of the day I have been hungry, but I'm not quite sure if it's just my body adjusting to things. I will give it some time and see how I do.

I spent a good part of the afternoon with my sister, nephew, and my daughter. We went for a 1-2 mile walk and took the kids to the park. I managed to twist my ankle while playing tag with them, but I think it's fine other than being a little sore. After our walk, my sister and I spent some time together scrapbooking while the kids played outside in the pool.

I went to the gym tonight around 6:45 and spent about an hour and a half there. I felt like I had a great workout. It was tough getting back into the groove of things, but I just kept telling myself I coould do it!
