28 Days to Health - Day 1

8:17 pm Whew… I’m so pooped! My first day went fairly well but I’m exhausted now after a very long day in the clinic seeing patients. It’s a good thing I worked out this morning because I would have no energy to work out right now! I’m embarrassed to say that I’m hurting already. I’ve already thought about quitting…Is that bad to say so early in the month?

Here’s how the day went…

• Awoke at 5:00 am to nurse the baby and just stayed up
• Hrs of Sleep: 7 hrs 10 min
• Glasses of water: 8 (My Goal is 10)
• Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs 2 pieces of whole grain toast lightly buttered with whole fruit jam.
• AM Snack: Post run: 1 slice of bread with soy nut butter spread
• Midmorning: Banana
• Lunch: Turkey breast, provolone, and avocado sandwich
• PM Snack: Apple, ½ avocado
• Dinner: Pasta with broccoli.
• Exercise: Today the morning worked for me: I did 5 minutes of stretching in the morning and I ran for 20 minutes! Yeah!!
