June 30th.... Day 1

So a couple weeks ago I found out that someone close to me could have the potential for health problems in the future if they do not start exercising, watching what they eat, and taking care of their body, hopefully this will encourage this person because I LOVE THEM!

It inspired me to start an accountability blog online for myself... I want to live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy life to the fullest! I realize that not all the foods that I eat are healthy, but it's all about portion control and eating what you enjoy! I also joined a gym last week to help me get on a regular exercise routine!

So what is this blog about... well starting today I am going to make known to the world (or at least my friends and family) what I am eating, my weight loss goals, my daily exercise routine, and whatever else I feel like writing down!

I feel that if I have to post what I eat then I might want to start eating a little better!

So here we go: Monday June 30th

Starting weight: 153

Breakfast: 3/4 cup Cinnamon Pecan Special K with 1/2 Skim Milk and 1 cup of skim milk to drink

Snack: Peanut Butter Chip Quaker Granola Bar & a plum

Lunch: a little bit of Yogurt with some granola, a banana, and a BBQ Chicken Hot Pocket (so amazing!!!)

Exercise: 30 Minutes on the tredmill... 3 min walk/2 min run (7.0) then 4 min walk/1 min run (7.5), repeat 3 times

Dinner: Tuna salad sandwich on toasted bread with 2 pickle spears, one package of quaker mini delights (peanut butter), cookies & cream Quaker granola bar

Snack: 1/2 cup of Mint Cookies & Cream ice cream (Eddy's..... sooooo good!)


I won't be counting calories really... and i probably won't get into the habit of measuring my food... just being cautious...

Encouragements, critism's, and thoughts are welcome!!!
