Day 1: Me Against the World

Today was such a bust. Ok. That's not completely true. But I already feel like a failure and it's just day one. 

Just like every other time I try to lose weight I started off today with high hopes and great intentions. I wrote my awesome first blog, got great support from lots of friends and family, and was ready to take on the day. 

I did pretty well in the morning. Got my usual cup of coffee and was in heaven for about half a cup instead of the whole thing like usual. I also cut my normal breakfast in half. Instead of a huge 2 egg omelette filled with sausage, potatoes, mushrooms and smothered in cheese I settled for a 1 egg omelette with mushrooms and cheese. AND here's the kicker- instead of washing it down with a delicious, cold, refreshing Pepsi- I had water. Lots and lots and lots of water. 

Whoever told you that drinking water was good for you and helps you lose weight was definitely not lying. What they failed to mention is that it helps you cause you then spend half the damn day walking back and forth to the bathroom to pee which HAS to equal at least half of your daily excercise when added all up. Forreal. It. Is. The. Worst. 

Sigh. 

Anyways, for lunch I started with a pear, some granola, and yep-more water. I then took my happy (rolls eyes) ass to the gym. 

Look- I even took a picture to capture the moment!!

DAY 1!!

So. Here comes the downhill slope. 

Not even 20 minutes on the elliptical, in gettin' it. Music blasting, reading a book, and sweating out all that DAMN WATER. My phone rings.

 Oooh what happens next you ask? 

The tire on Mike's truck has blown out and he's stranded and needs me (cue super hero music) to come rescue him. Soooooo- workout day 1 is cut short. But then again, maybe it's ok after all that bathroom walking, but who's counting?

Anyhoo- had to leave and get all that fixed and my baby sister calls and asks me to come over and make dinner. What does she buy to eat? Cheeseburgers and tator tots. YUMMMMM. How can you say no to that?! 

So. What did I learn today? Life is always in my way and making it way too easy for me to make excuses. I did not, however, have a soda. I am NOW dying and craving a Pepsi like there's no tomorrow. I literally just want to walk into my  kitchen and drink about 4 of them. 

I guess today was a wash. Onward and upward from here. Day 2-I'm comin after you.
