Still Standing

Well here I am, one day down and god knows how many more to go!  So day 1 is coming to a close and I feel rather proud to say that I have survived.  I sound like such a wimp, but boy am I out of shape.  How easy it was to get the many extra pounds on me and how hard it is to make them leave their comfortable little (or shall I say rather large) home.  Shoo fat, don't bother me.  I have seen you for far too long!

I started out my day with the usual trip to grab some coffee on the way back to work from dropping my son off at school.  With coffee in hand I came back and logged my breakfast (yes, that was my breakfast) and found that my love for the caramel macchiato has got to go.  Holy cow, there are some really empty calories in that drink, but they sure don't make me feel or look empty!  Note to self, must find another love to replace that drink!

For lunch I had mucho protein.  That would be 2 eggs with some cheese.  Sounds tasty doesn't it.  OK, so I really did not have much to choose from since I missed grocery shopping over the weekend.  Probably better that I waited until tonight to do the grocery shopping anyway.  Too many temptations there but I am GOAL oriented here and really checked labels this time!

Moving along to the sweaty stuff.  Yeah, I know those following are dying to hear just how many push-ups I can do.  I will have you know, I did my best and about 8 more than I thought I could.  That Tony Horton sure makes it all look sooooooooo easy.  I can only aspire to be that good and buff one day.  But then that is why I am here right?  So I did the Sculpt 1-2 from his Power 90 video, did some hula-hooping and step aerobics on the Wii Fit, and did a quick workout with my fitness coach also on the Wii.  Oh, let us not forget that I chased and battled the 6 year old as well.  Shouldn't that count for something?

So here is the lowdown on my status for Day 1 so far:
Calories Burned - 2520

Calories Consumed - 1210
Total Activity - 0:24
Moderate Activity - 0:24
Calorie Deficit - 1310

Time to hit the shower!  Wonder what Tony has in store for me tomorrow.  Stay tuned...

Signing off...Lara
