Katie Day 1
Wahoo I survived day one and I must say that I did good today!  I remember back to a few years ago when Shelly and I first started doing this kind of thing and my first day wasn't so great.  I got so upset with myself and the fact that I had gotten to the pont that I needed to diet that I ate waaay to many miniature candy bars.  This time around I was more prepared and in a healthier frame of mind!  I got rid of my trigger foods this weekend and went shopping so that when cravings hit I would be prepared to bat them off in a healthy way.  I always seem to have a tough time in the middle of the afternoon, usually a few hours before the hubs gets home from work.  So today when I started to get the munchies I ate a skinny cow snack pack and then a little while later a cutie.  YAY me:)  I also drank alot of water, not an overkill amount but I stayed nice and hydrated with good ol H2O!  I like to exercise at night after the kiddos are in bed cause I refuse to loose sleep in the morning just to sweat.  I will never be one to get up early for anything expecially exercise :) I have come down with a cold and so tonight as I sat on my recliner and watched some NCIS I decided that I wasn't going to exercise.  However I had Caitie in the back of my mind saying that she went to Zumba today and so I knew that I coudn't wuse out so I got up and did some Ballet and situps.  It felt great!!! and NCIS was a faithful companion through it all :)  Here is my breakdown of food and calories consumed today :

My goal is to eat 1300 calories a day
On a side note, calorie counting works for me and I love it but I wanted to give a shout out to Caitie and Heidi and let them know that whatever works for you is great on this blog.  So if you aren't calorie counting thats a-okay.  We are here to give support and I am anxious to hear from everyone and get ideas from all of you!
