Changes to diet and exercise, and increasing my water intake.
Accountability report: Water intake 88 oz. Goal 100 oz. Not bad for the first day
Food intake: No candy, despite the chocolates on the desk in the pretty jar. Eggs for breakfast, turkey wrap for lunch, broccoli, ground beef patty and baked potato for supper. I also added in a Naked Juice Power-C, to boost up my immune system - lots of colds going 'round.
Exercise: Stretching for Seniors via YouTube, cute Australian accent on a young, handsome man. Then some weight lifting for arms while watching the sun set. 11K steps recorded on my FitBit.
Caffeine: One Diet Coke to break the lull at 2pm, one Diet Coke with dinner. Didn't need the second one at dinner, water would have done it, except for the massive headache that was building all day.
I started on the Plexus Pink Drink today, as well. I'm still not sure what it will do my digestive system. I couldn't handle it full on when I tried it during the summer. I'm hoping that starting slower will help a bit.
I don't feel like I was deprived today. Well, not much. I sure would have enjoyed a nice sweet chocolate pick-me-up when things got stressful at work, but I powered through the craving.
I'm going to resist stepping on the scale in the morning, because this is more about healthy than it is weight loss. Ok, I'll be honest, it's about weight loss too, but I don't think that should be the only goal. Because I could lose weight by not eating, but that puts other systems in jeopardy, and this needs to be about being a healthier me!
So here's to having a successful tomorrow.
