I have always loved that saying, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
I took my single step yesterday with accomplishing day 1. Now I'm on the path to success. LB, my workout partner, told me a great analogy for getting healthy. He said that working towards a goal is like running. You have a destination and that's where your focus is. You don't constantly think about how you got to your current location and what it was like up until that point. The focus is on that finish line. That's how I feel with my BFL challenge, except I don't see the finish line as the end...just a milestone.
I thought I would wake up feeling fantastic today. I didn't. I was really tired and run down. It's only been one day. I guess I'll give it a little more time. Patience.
What motivated me today?
Again, I'm motivated by the sense of accomplishment.
What is my plan for meals?
1) 9:00 - Fage Fat-Free yogurt
1 C. blueberries
2) 12:00 - 1 ready to eat tuna
Oatbran
spinach
3) 2:30 - 4 vegetarian meatballs
1/2 c. smart bran cereal
4) 5:00 - 1/2 tofu
oatbran
5) 7:30 - 1/2 tofu
1 c. carrots with 2 T. eggplant hummus
6) 9:30 - 1/2 scoop protein powder
1 c. fat free milk
What is my plan for working out?
Upper Body:
Chest - dumbbell flies
Back - lat pulldown
Shoulder - lateral raises

Are there any obstacles I can expect today that I should plan for?
I feel kind of "off" but I might just be tired. Other than that, there aren't any major obstacles I can foresee today.

What is something that I'm grateful for?
I'm grateful for LB. It's nice to have the motivation of a great workout partner with whom I enjoy spending time.
What is one thing I can do to work toward each of my goals?
1) I bought a guitar magazine yesterday that has a great article on online lessons. I'll read more about that and look into them. I'll practice for at least 10 minutes (I'm being realistic....I have a busy night).
2) I'll study for the GRE at least 20 minutes.
3) I'll learn 2 new Spanish words.
Here I go! Day 2....
