Day 1...

Today was the first day of my 90 day plan! I have to say I'm really excited about it. A friend told me that she's been paying more attention to Dr. Oz's suggestions and that she is really happy with the results. I'm excited, I know it's going to be good for me.

A qoute that I found from Dr. Oz is, "If you focus on your health first, your wieght will follow."

This is what I am most excited about. Sure, I want to wear all the clothes in my closet again, and I'll get there, but I want to be healthy, and I want my family to be healthy. That's why I'm doing this.

Today went really well. I was able to stick to my plan. I went on a mile walk this morning and really pushed myself hard for a good part of it. It took me about an hour, so I thought I would do this walk every other day and use it as a combined walking/stamina training. After the walk I felt great!! I think I burned more calories than I thought I would though b/c I was sooo hungry all day long. I was good though, instead of grabing some of Tanner's animal crackers or anything sweet, I grabbed a handful of almonds or some fruit. I have to say it feels good having the self-control to be able to do that. Let's hope I can keep it up.

The hardest part of the day was after the kids went to bed. I am so used to having a "treat" or some snack that I really shouldn't eat that it was really hard not to give in and grab something. But I didn't. I just found something else to do to take my mind off it. I can tell that will be the hardest part of it all. If I was truly hungry, I would get something healthy to tide me over, but it is pure habit, so I can break it.

So day 1 was a success. Only 89 more to go...

I am glad too because it helps give me the motivation too!

After the kids go to bed is the hardest time to avoid sweets! (Save me smoothies!)
