Here's to day 2 success!

Ok, so I got this book, 30 days to jump start your health, by the people from the biggest loser.  I think this is one show I can relate to, b/c many people aren't there to only lose 20-30 lbs.  This is a life changing thing for them.

So I just finished day two, and things are going well.  Day 1 went AWESOMELY, ate 1585 calories, my new daily allowance, and did exercises! P.S. I love my ipod.  It is also my food and exercise list. I write down everything there, and the calories. It is awesome. my own little food journal! So I don't have to write it here too, which might be boring.  If someone ever actually said they read this, then maybe I will.  I will definitely post good recipes as I use them, with nutrients listed!  Yesterday (and today) I had steamed shrimp, and I put cayenne pepper, garlic, and rosemary on it.  I also had steamed broccoli and brown long grain rice. I will say that brown rice is not only better for you, but has so much more flavor!!!!!

I also tried Greek yogurt for the first time. It was ok, but the consistency was so thick I was gagging it down!  Going to totally use it in smoothies, dips, and but FRUIT in it to help with the whole texture thing.  It has no fat and 16g of protein in 6oz. It is crazy good for you!

Tomorrow I may make hummus...we'll see if I'm up for it.  I do need to clean and whatnot.

Today was not a good day though, in regards to eating, b/c I consumed too LITTLE calories.  Yes, that is possible.  I was just not hungry.  I made myself eat at times.  I only ate 700 calories today. AND I still worked out. NOT good! And I didn't drink my 64 oz of water like I was supposed to. Barely had 32.

I did get more groceries though, AND a food scale! (VERY EXCITING) and a REAL scale to measure weight, BMI, %fat, bone weight, and even hydration...which it just said was WAY too low.
I weigh in at 304 lbs. That is NOT good, but better than I had thought.  I do need lose about 50% of my body weight...so this should be interesting.  Here I go!

Night night all! I wonder if I'll try those mushrooms tomorrow? That, or fish!  Looking forward to the ultimate omelet tomorrow.  Recipe to come later!
