First days of the 100 day challenge...

Day one began early 7am with being weighed, measured, having my fat analyzed, getting poked and having BP measured (though I have to say, my BP Reading was probably all sorts of high because of all the goings on that morning). I am a little bit overwhelmed, and intimidated, but this is all for a good cause and I am excited to begin this challenge.

Day two was kind of a rough day. I felt like I was fighting being tired and hungry all day. I tried to make good choices as to which food I would eat, and made it a point to take stairs while at work. I did start a food diary, and with that I realized how much I like to just snack. Pick up a little piece of bread here, a small nibble on some chips, etc... It all adds up, and I wasn't aware of it before.

Day three started with the weekly Weigh to Health class. I was excited to get to this class because I want to learn what food is doing for me, and how I can better improve my dietary habits and eventually lose some of this weight! I have been on previous diets and tried to keep track of what I was eating and had success. But when I stopped monitoring what I was eating, I put back on the weight. I appreciated todays information with regards to Carbs, Proteins, and Fats, and how to incorporate that information into my choices for food. This all seems to be great education for long term, not just while "on the diet".

Tomorrow is my first appointment with my trainer! I can't wait to see what is in store for me there!!
