Day 1 - Plan

Well it happened. I begged my husband to put the battery back in the scale and I weighed. Let me digress, yes, he took the battery out. One day I got all psyched to weigh for the 10th time and I went in, stepped on the scale, and nothing happened. I tried it again. Nothing. I freaked out calmly called his name and asked him if he knew what was wrong with the scale. "yes," he said, "I took the battery out so you can't weigh 100 times a week and obsess about your weight." Oh...I do that?

After I broke up with him thanked him for caring about my well being and mental state, I decided that I liked the freedom of not weighing all the time. It doesn't do anything but make me crazy. BUT, I weighed this morning so that I have a starting point. I won't use weight as the only measuring tool, but it does sort of help to see progress. This blog is about making positive changes and not beating myself up so I won't go into some long masochistic tirade about what that number said or how it made me feel. I will just say that it is what it is and ya gotta start somewhere. He'll remove the battery because I lack self control to help me stay accountable to weighing only once a month.

Here's my plan for today:

Food:

Breakfast - Egg & Sausage scramble (farm fresh eggs, nitrate & preservative free chicken habanera sausage)

Lunch - Cilantro Turkey Burgers ... found here , green beans

Dinner - spaghetti squash with meat sauce, salad - I'll post the recipe as soon as I figure out how to upload my own

Snacks if needed - Pumpkin smoothie (Vega protein powder, unswt almond milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, ice) or a candy bar as found here

Workout:Power90 Week 1 Day 1, C25K
