30 Day Challenge - Day 1

Greetings!  I've made it through my first official day of cleaning up my eating habits and trying to rid myself of a few of these pounds.  If you've ever thrown all into a weight loss program...sometimes those first few days can be rough.  And I'm talking "someone give me a spoon and the half gallon of peanut butter ice cream" rough.  But I made it! I did have my ice cream...but I had 1/2 cup instead of like, 2 cups. 

**Huge victory**

I think part of the reason I am documenting my 30 Day Challenge on this blog is for accountability.  Aaaah accountability.  It can be the deal breaker when it comes to weight loss success.  Often times being accountable to ourselves just isn't enough.  There is the age old adage that you should "get a weight loss buddy."  But many of us just don't have the luxury of someone who is as committed to the cause as we are. 

And thus I am forcing you to be my "weight loss buddy."  Thanks for listening :)

I was successful in my endeavors to reduce portion sizes and make healthier choices.  I chose NOT to count calories....but instead decided this month will be about behavior change, intuitive eating and taking the pressure off myself.  More on that as I move forward

Here is a video clip of the workout I did today.  Cathe Friedrich is a big idol of mine-

I have decided to post my before and after pictures after the 30 days are over.  But I will say...starting weight = 220lb.

Here's to a healthy week!,
