Day 2

The second day of my lifelong health & wellness journey has begun. In case you missed the first post you can find it here: http://perceptionsby1.blogspot.com/2010/12/early-new-years-resolution.html

I know, 2011 hasn't even started yet, but I'm decided that instead of spending yet another week pigging out in preparation for a diet, I would just start now.
I got on the Wii Fit again tonight - I weight in at exactly the same 208.6lbs. Monday will be my official weigh in day each week, but I was glad to see that it was the same and not worse. I truly expected to continue gaining weight for a few more days in honor of all of the great food we had for Christmas. I made divinity - enough said, right? I should have brought some home...oh wait wait, back on track.
I did yoga and strength on the Wii Fit for 28 minutes. That's two days in a row and I'm feeling pretty pumped about it!
Needless to say, this is a struggle starting out. I did read an article today that made me realize I don't want to put fast food garbage in my mouth and body anymore.

Today I ate fairly light. I had a fig newton cookie, a peanut butter & honey sandwich, 1/2 cup (approx.) baked acorn squash (with no butter, sugar, honey, or syrup!), 1 cup (1/2 cup at dinner, 1/2 cup an hour later) Hamburger Helper (made with turkey burger), too many animal crackers (probably 3/4 - 1 cup worth), 2 packages of instant oatmeal, and my vitamins. I also have had lots of water today. As I read back over this I'm not sure this would be considered "light" - but I'm starving! I'm going to get my rear to the store for some fresh produce, so I can snack on carrots and celery, broccoli and cauliflower, when I need a snack.

Well, it's a start. I'll work harder at it tomorrow and each day forward.
