I Can do this!!

So, I'm making progress in eating somewhat better. Not so much on the exercise as I didn't get any in yesterday because I sat in the emergency room with my mom until she was moved to a room to stay the night. I then came home did a little homework and went to sleep. I was pretty exhausted. However it's not so bad. I only commited to 15 days of exercise for the month which equals out to be about 3 days a week, so I do have plenty of time to get those 15 days in. I just need to stick to it.

I'm keeping track of the foods I eat, even if their not the healthiest or most filling, and I'm just cutting back calories day by day instead of restricting myself to 1200 calories a day when I'm not exactly used to eating that way. I think this will be helpful, and not throw my body into a shock of starvation and craving everything I shouldn't be consuming in large amounts.

Food Journal:

Breakfast:
(on the go)
1 McDonald's Sausage Egg & Cheese Bagel (560 Calories per livestrong.com)
1 Medium 10oz Coffee with light cream & 2 splenda ( 80 calories per livestrong.com)
*20 oz water

Surprisingly, I am still feeling full and not so starved. My goal is to eat a lighter more balanced lunch which will be later in the day seeing as how I don't get out of class until 4:20 today and I forgot to pack a lunch- the choices here at school consisted of tacos, pizza, and chicken fingers- I steered clear of the cafeteria just for that reason- to AVOID THE TEMPTATION, and then a light dinner with healthier choices as well.

Providing my mother comes home and is feeling better, I will probably hit the gym and utilize my overpaid gym membership that I've probably only used a hand full of times since purchasing! It's rainy out, so that's why I'm thinking the gym, but I do so enjoy the walks/jogs through the neighborhood and along the waterfront. It's peaceful and refreshing.

I will of course edit and post this evenings progress when all done. Hope you all have a healthy Tuesday!
