Day 1

Ok guys,
So today is day 1. I woke up this morning with a fresh excitement and ready to go! I started the morning with drinking 2 cups of water with some fresh squeezed lemon. Then I ate my breakfast this morning which was:

¾ cup of oatmeal made with purified water (Quaker raw oats)
½ cup of blueberries
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 whole egg + 1 egg white

Calories = 360
Then I had some water
I did my morning workout that consisted of AM-(32 min)start with 5 min.warmup then 5 min. fast walk then 3 min. incline walk (adjust speed if needed)
Then this afternoon I am going walking for 45 minutes!

That workout was tough. I mean the incline was like wow! But it was the good kind of wow. I could tell I it was working bc I could feel the burn. I kind of felt uncomfortable when the room starting filling up with men-I kind of felt some anxiety coming on...like they were judging me or wandering what I was doing there. Then I just imagined Fawn being there with me and telling me this was not about them, that this was not all about me either, it's for God's glory and His will and the greater good for the people I meant to inspire. So I bit my lip and realized that I needed to stop being so insecure. More than likely they were not looking at me in that way and I was just being paranoid, and even if they were, that's they're problem. So once I got passed that I was okay. I got done and it felt good that I did it. I had a Larabar for a snack and for Lunch I had:
my Grilled Chicken Salad option
1 cup spinach 30
1 small tomato 20
¾ cup of rice or black beans 150
4 oz grilled chicken 150
1 teaspoon olive oil 50
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar 30
Calories=430

and then for snack right now I am having:Medium Apple 75
20 almonds 140
Calories= 215

So tonight I think I am going to try:Burger (no bun) with Sweet Pot Fries
4 oz lean ground turkey patty or lean ground beef patty 150
Mustard 10
Spinach 10
Small tomato 20
5 oz sweet potato or 5 oz sweet potato fries (bake with ½ teaspoon olive oil drizzled on and peeled) 170
1 cup green beans 50
Calories=410

And so far so good, I have noticed I am not so tired. I have not noticed a huge difference in the energy yet, but a difference none the less. I have had major cravings today. I thought about Mexico Tipico today and how I would love a chocolate donut, but I have kept strong and I keep telling myself it will be worth it. I wish I had Fawn here with me, but I know she is praying for me, thinking of me, and she is encouraging me. Most important to me is that she Believes in me, and that feeling is Amazing! Accountability is so important! I know that with the right team and with encouragement I will accomplish one small goal at a time. I am going to finish my snack and check on my little angels. Bye for now. Peace to you! Audra
