Day 2

So it's day two of this journey and I'm still feeling really optimistic.  I didn't make it in to the gym today because when I woke up I was beyond exhausted.  I have to make an appointment to see my doctor soon since it can't be normal to feel the way I do when I wake up.  I have been trying to make more of an effort to get up and walk around at work and drink plenty of water.  I also will go home and do crunches and push ups.  My fall to exercises when I have no time or energy.  I'll be going to the gym tomorrow after class but again I need to make sure I don't hurt myself so I'll just be doing laps around the track listening to music.  I can actually do that longer than the elliptical so I'm hoping to burn a lot of calories tomorrow.

As for my diet today I'm doing fantastic!!  I'm sticking to my calories and eating healthy choices.  I also got a list of foods and things to help from my boss today.  I have easily drank more than 8 glasses of water today.  For breakfast I had cereal and a banana, for lunch I had chicken breast and rice, and for dinner I'll eat what I packed in my lunch box which is full of healthy foods.  I need to keep my almonds at the desk with me so I eat them throughout the day.  Almonds are sooooo good for you.

Personally, I'm not too optimistic right now because I'm always motivated and encouraged early on in my weight loss plans but I've never fully stuck through with them.  Today I had a lot of reminders at work though of the reasons why I want to lose weight and that definitely helped keep my spirits up.  I keep thinking if I just remind myself of the reasons why I want to lose weight it'll keep me motivated but instead it just makes me really depressed and brings down my self esteem so I just end up sleeping and eating again.  Ugh.  I won't think of the things wrong with me anymore but what I have to gain from losing weight!  

Peace out!
