Hungry!!!

I have officially started my healthier eating, and getting back to the gym routine. Started yesterday and all i have to say is i am HUNGRY!!!

My last 6 months of poor eating and not enough working out is finally catching up with me and I am putting my foot down!!! No more!!! I will not see that scale go up another pound. So I am now going to eat better and get to the gym 3 days a week most weeks!!!

Yesterday was day one of tracking what I eat and up until dinner I did fine. I had forgotten i had agreed to go to my grandparents for pizza night....so dinner not so good but the rest wasn' t too bad

Breakfast--Coffee with creamer
Greek Yogurt (honey flavored) with strawberries and 1/4 cup granola

Lunch--1 can v8
Bowl of chicken noodle soup
1 banana

Dinner- 2 1/2 pieces of pizza with pinapple
couple of pieces of watermelon

Nothing to eat OR DRINK after dinner. I have gotten in a VERY bad habit this summer of drinking a glass of wine (or sometimes 2) in teh evening while watching tv. I will be breaking this daily habit and get my alchohol cosumption back down to only Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays....too many empty calories being consumed!!!

I was SOOOO hungry last night it wasn't even funny!!! But i refrained.

Today so far so good although I am quite Hungry and will be eating lunch soon.

My gym bag is packed and ipod is charging so i am ready for a good workout after work! I need to pick my workout days and workout plan so I know what I am doing each week. I think that really made a difference when I was in that class was having the set schedule and knowing that Mon and Fri were weights adn Wed was cardio...I need to come up with a similiar plan! and i will do so by then end of this week and will be posting it.

I hate this part of the process...the first 2 weeks of goign back to healthy eating is alwasy the worst, i am almost always hungry thinking about all the things i want to eat but won't let myself.

I need to put snacks back in my eating habits too...healthy options like veggies, string cheese and fruit.

Why is it that I knwo all the things i need to do but once out of the habit it is so hard to get back into it.

Well blogging about it and tracking my food and workouts is where I need to start...so expect to see more from me in this area (feel free to skip reading them as they are probably not an exciting read but an important tracking item for me personally)

On that note I think it is lunch time.

For lunch today i have greek yogurt with strawberries and granola and some of my grandma's AWESOME home made gazpacho soup. Yum!!! And dinner tonight...will be home made Chicken stir fry with brown rice....
