08/04/15 - Day 1 is in the Books!

So excited that day 1 is officially over! I've heard that the first day is one of the hardest, and I couldn't agree more, but I'm more intrigued by the end result than I am by the coke in the work fridge, or the Cheetos I had hidden in my desk drawer.

Breakfast:

1 cup of Cheerios + 1/2 cup Lactaid skim milk and 1 cup of coffee + 1/4 cup Lactaid skim milk + 2 splendas. Having this for breakfast this morning was key in getting me back on track again.

Lunch:

I didn't have much time to run to the store this morning, and when I did, there was no produce to be seen, so I grabbed a sandwich from the office cafeteria - turkey on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato, and onion. I didn't eat all the bread but this was simple and just what I needed.

Snacks:

I had this package of Peanut Butter crackers (my best option at the office), along with about a tiny bit of leftover chicken, some Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili sauce, 5 chocolate espresso beans and, pre-run, 4 wheat thins.

Dinner:

I grabbed a rotisserie chicken at the store and made a salad with that, lettuce, tomato, onion, and this Caramelized Sweet Onion yogurt dressing, and about 15 grapes. Yum!

Water: at least 11 cups!

Exercise: 2.5 mile walk/run around my neighborhood (working on running longer stretches and walking less) + 30 minutes of yoga.

Pros: Great first day! Couldn't be more pleased with how seemingly easy it looks on paper!

Cons: Need to add either fruit or veggies at breakfast 

Hoping for a better tomorrow!
