I began my day off with a good breakfast followed by grocery shopping with everything bought being moderately healthy - step one will be cutting out all the unhealthy foods first and progress from there. I will eventually cut down my carbs, watch more closely what I'm putting into my body, and slowly incorporate more discipline as the month progresses. I then had some lunch then got in a quick 30 minute cardio session by walking/jogging up and down an inclined hill. Once home I cooked supper and started Bender Fitness workout #1. After about half way through I was feeling really discouraged where I could not do nearly the amount the last time I was completing these workouts and quit. I took a break and then picked up where I left off with the workout and felt 100% better going through the second half. Day 1 was a good start however I definitely need to improve my diet and push myself through an entire workout without feeling discouraged with myself.
- Breakfast - 2 rice cakes with peanut butter
- Lunch - Rice, strawberries, and pineapples
- Supper - Salmon, potatoes, beans and carrots
- Snack - chocolate covered almonds (these are gone now - so no more of these)
Looking forward to a day where I am proud of my body and am not ashamed to show it off!
