End of Day 1

What did I end up eating?
The black is what was planned. What I actually ate, and at what time, is in red.
1. 9:30 - Fage 0% fat plain yogurt 9:30
green apple
2. 12:00 - packaged ready to eat salmon 12:30
Oat bran
spinach
3. 2:00 - 1/2 teryaki tofu 2:30
1/2 c. fiber cereal (smart bran?)
4. 4:00 - Soy hot dog 5:00
Oatbran
5. 6:00 - 1/2 teryaki tofu 7:00
2 T. Eggplant hummus with 1 C. carrots (I was more in the mood for this)
6. 8:00 - Protein shake 9:35 - 1/2 scoop biochem whey protein, 1/2 c. kefir (instead of milk)
and 1/4 c. blueberries.
1 c. carrots

What was my workout?
I ended up doing my 20 minute BFL workout on the stair stepper. It was really good! I did 10 minutes of walking at an incline on the treadmill after that. It was less of a workout than I had planned on doing, but it's still more than the minimum. I'm happy with it.

What did I learn?
It's definitely worth waiting for my next meal when I have a craving.

How do I feel?
I'm really happy that I finished a successful first day. It's relaxing know that I'm doing this mostly to feel good and to accomplish something rather than JUST wanting to be a size 2 again. If that were my main focus, it would be frustrating each day that I'm not quite there yet.

Were there any obstacles and what did I do to overcome them?
As soon as I came home from work, I was ready to grab a snack. I waited because my next meal was in 30 minutes. When it came time to eat, I took out the tofu, carrots, hummus and peanut butter. I realized I didn't really need the peanut butter and put it back. I'm so glad I didn't give in to momentary temptation!

What is an accomplishment?
I completed my first day of Body for Life successfully!
