Lifestyle Change Day 1

After my cruise in July, I came home feeling less than stellar. About two weeks later, I met a girl who worked out at the same gym, and we decided to try to work out together. I explained to her my motivation to go, then to not go, and then my mother guilt, that I could pick up my girls early and spend the afternoon with them rather than go to the gym, and after I couldn't work out one week, we were finally able to meet up and have two killer work outs. I mean, I hadn't been so sore, like that, in well, years! I literally could not move for two days after our first workout.

I recently visited my mom and after stepping on the scale, to see that in a year it had not moved, despite some of my efforts, I know that it really is time for a change.

I've also heard a lot about the Body by Vi program, and I've seriously considered it, until I learned that it was full of GMOs and soy, which is not good for women.

I also talked to my cousin, who started "Diets for Dummies" and she explained it was more of a high protein, low carb diet.

I know that carbs are my problem, well, that and chocolate, and ice cream. So, I'm starting to add in more protein and a workout regimen.

My goal is to loose up to 20 pounds. That is where I was before I had both girls. And, I'd love to be there again.

So, here's my "diet" day 1:
Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg, 1 tspn. Chia seeds, a handful of shredded cheese, 1 glass of milk, and 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder.
Snack 1: 1 slice of turkey, and 1 slice of cheese
Snack 2: Chobani apple yogurt with a dash of cinnamon.
Dinner: 1 Orange, 1 hot dog with no bun or condiments, 1 slice of cheese.
I've also had 3 bottles of water today.

Exercise: 1.20 miles on the elliptical, 2.8 miles on the stationary bike.
