DAY 4 - more determined
I actually feel great again this morning! I honestly believe it's all just in my mind, but hey they say this "lifestyle" change is a mind game anyways!  I know once I get my mental state onboard with my changes, then the rest will fall into place. Hoping by next week, I can convince my body to wake around 5:15 to do cardio on the elliptical, even if for only 10-15 minutes.  I'm proud I'm slowly increasing my exercising -

Iron Fit Burpees 45 (trying to increase by 5 each day)
Kettle bell squat snatches  30
Kettle bell arm lifts   25 (each arm)



Breakfast  (7am)
Spinach Blackbean Omelet Sandwich
Two scrambled eggs, black beans and raw spinach (yes I left the sausage off today - Goal 1 accomplished)
Lunch 12:30(pm)
Pulled Pork sandwich
Crockpot pulled pork, arnold flat bread, raw spinach, teaspoon country bob's sauce, deviled egg
Supper (7pm)
Chicken nuggets
I really wasn't hungry or felt like cooking, so I heated up some Fast Fixin popcorn chicken and black grapes....And yes I forgot to take a photo!

Day 3 - Feeling Great

Day 3 is starting off pretty good.  I think I done pretty good yesterday.  I logged ALL my food for the day, and saw where I could cut back on some things, and where I needed to add more veggies.  I'm trying really hard on the veggies.  But on the bright side, I feel GREAT today!!! Not sure if it's just my imagination or because I'm doing something right.

I actually done better on the exercising today -
35 iron fit burpees,
30 Dumb bell swing squats
40 Jumping jacks
10 Crunches
35 arm lifts w/15lb dumb bell

Breakfast (7am)
Spinach, Black Bean Egg Sandwich
Arnold's deli thins, 2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup raw spinach, 1/4 cup black beans w/polka kielbasa  sausage (yes I need to leave the sausage out, but I wasn't sure if I'd like the sandwich) and 1/2 cup pineapples


Lunch (12pm)  
Salad w/Chicken tenders
Raw Spinach, chopped salad blend, cucumbers, black beans, chicken tenderloins, boiled egg
Supper (6:30pm)
Loaded Pork Sweet Potato
Baked sweet potato, topped with crock pot pork tenderloin and black beans.  It was DELICIOUS! And deviled eggs.

LET's TRY THIS AGAIN
Well I've made up my mind that I CAN and WILL do this.  Have you ever gotten to the point where you're just miserable with yourself (not your life) just yourself.  I used to get so aggravated with my son in school because I knew he had the brain and potential to do good - he just didn't want to.  Well I know I can do this - but it's ME standing in my own way.  No one or nothing miraculously can make me skinny.  I've got to do may part - one step at a time.  So I actually started yesterday with my healthy eating.  Today hasn't been that bad, but nighttime hasn't arrived.   That's always my biggest hurdle - night time snacking.  I hope when I get home, I have the motivation to work out.  But if not, my first goal is to eat healthy for one solid week, then add the exercising.

Breakfast (7am)
It was pretty good.  Spinach Omelet w/Shrimp
