Here's what I did on Day 1

So I started today, Sept 14th, my 40th challenge. I started with a 3 mile walk, having whipped out of the house to get Jack to Kindergarten on time, no breakfast! Great way to start living healthy! After the walk, I took Alicia and her friend Jayme to the train station to go to NYC (where they remain, at 11pm, current time). Then I went to the market. I wasn't really hungry anyway, so it wasn't a big deal, I wasn't "tempted" to buy junk, but when I got home I ate 1/3 of the rotisserie chicken I had just bought! It was sooo good. And I was full. So then I had a yogurt. It was a LOW CAL yogurt! Sheesh. Anyway, I'm always amazed that I can spend $150 at the market and still have an empty fridge. It's what happens when you have one of those gigantic Sub Zero fridges. Not complaining, just sayin.

Later I had a sesame bread stick, cuz I had to see what it tasted like. Kind of a waste of $2.99. Not great. I wasn't hungry even, since I had eaten around noon, but found myself in the pantry, looking....
Had a handful of kettlecorn crumbs, mindless eating, BUT then I thought, "why am I eating this? i'm not hungry" and I stopped. I should have thrown it away, it was crumbs! But I didn't. Lesson to learn: throw it out! I purposely did not buy any treats or ice cream at the market. That kind of stuff just calls my name during the day, at night, when no one is looking.

I feel good about today! Capped the night with Jen at Starbucks, drinking Green Tea, which is probably why I am still awake!! #*$&%*&# I will succeed. I will make better choices, I will exercise. I will not snack on crap. Andrew wrote me a sweet, encouraging message about this challenge. I love Drew. That was nice. Okay, well, a new day tomorrow.

Be well.
