Day 5 January 8, 2010

today was better on the elliptical. 5 min went by so fast. I did 21 minutes just because that's what I've been doing but got to 150 calories in 20 minutes today. going to increase to 26 or 30 min on Monday.

Mike and I ate dinner together at ElCharro. I ate few chips and salsa and we both had fajitas. I ate the 3 small flour tortillas and about half of my fajitas before feeling full. It wasn't a perfect day diet wise but it was much better than it has been.

day 4 January 7, 2010

I'm not going to post all my foods on here, it takes too much effort. I'm going to start a food plan on paper again.

I tried to get on the elliptical but only got 3 minutes because I had to get ready so Mike could drive me to Grinnell for a signing. One of my pictures got used on Channel 13 for 6am and noon broadcasts. It was a picture of the blizzard with the sun peaking through (barely). We lost power from 6-7 am so I never saw my picture but was told about it.

Day 1 January 4, 2010

Today starts a new beginning on taking care of my health. It has been neglected for the last 20 years while I have raised 3 kids and catered to a family who prefers an unhealthy lifestyle. Now is the time to take charge of myself for me.

I began the day with a healthy breakfast and 21 min on the elliptical and 150 calories burned.

I'm hoping to figure out to incorporate my food plan into this blog plus add blood pressure and other health information.

Today, I will just list what I ate and how it counts.
