Another day...

So. How is it going you ask? Pretty well considering I have been home for about 50% of the last 48 hours. I have been all over town doing errands and.. you guessed it... not eating my snacks. It seems like the only time I was home was to get something healthy in me. Not that it has been perfect, but I am proud of my self. Here are my daily totals for yesterday and today:

Monday: 1095 Calories, 44g fat, 8 sat.fat, 195 carb, 18 fiber, 53 protein, and 80% daily iron.

Tuesday: 1220 Calories, 64g fat, 12 sat.fat, 185 carbs, 17 fiber, 49 protein, 78% iron.

So with all that in mind, I am doing well with Cal, fat/satfat, and carbs. Need a bit more Fiber, but excitedly right in the zone on protein. Iron is still low, and I just wonder if I had kept track before if I would have even hit 15%?

35 minutes of workout is difficult for me. Partly due to timing, partly due to access to the TV, and greatly due to sore back and feet from carrying all this excess everywhere with me daily. I can close my eyes and dream of running with my kids and not getting tired. Not collapsing from exhaustion and trying to make it into a game. The image is not really what I am going for, although it will be a nice change ;) I just want the energy needed to do what I am supposed to do.

By the end of this week I will have planned the next 2 steps of this year's change. Keep reading!

Go for it 2009!!!

    I am amazed how the smallest discipline; regimine; or dedication, will free me up to accomplish so much more than I ever dreamed possible for any given day.
    Keep it up!
