Day 1 wasn't as good as I liked, but I did do 40 minutes on the treadmill at a pretty slow/moderate pace. I just wanted to go for a significant amount of time, versus high speed and shorter time. I drank 48 ounces of water and about 32 ounces of diet pop. I ended up eating over 2000 calories yesterday, but feel like with 200 calories worked off on the treadmill, it was a decent trade off for the first day.
Today, I will try to do two bouts on the tread and add some other exercise. Today's goal is 1900 calories with 400 in exercise. It's a strong goal, but I think I can do it.
Food wise was more difficult than I thought. I started the day with weight control oatmeal and yogurt, but immediately after was sluggish. Today I started with chicken, cheese and sour cream. Trying to see what food combinations will keep me energized and yet not dying for food 20 minutes later.
I'm unemployed right now. Been there for about 8 months now. It's tough looking for a job, but even tougher knowing you are interviewing for a job looking morbidly obese. At 5'6" and a size 24, I have to admit the image I project has to be slovenly. So, I must keep at it.
Continuing to seek God's support through this also. I pray for His strength to keep me at this, and to shape myself into an image that is more Christlike, inside and out.
"Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always."- 1 Chronicles 16:11
