The adventure begins!

Today is the first day of my adventure to healthy and I'm actually pretty stoked!

I started out the day with a quick check of the scales.  When I saw the number, I actually was relieved it wasn't higher after 2 weeks of complete over indulgence!  But I'm still faced with the fact that I'm up 10 pounds from my lowest point in 2010 after completing Chalean Extreme. 

I told myself that this year is going to be different.  I'm not going to beat myself up over what the scale says.  I'm not going to give up. I'm not going to self doubt.  I'm going to move on with my adventure to healthy.  If I keep doing things that are good for me by taking care of my body then I will see and feel the difference.  I'm planning to take "before" pics this weekend and will hopefully have the courage to post them.

After weighing, I made a Green Monster - this one consisted of 2 handfuls of spinach, 5 frozen strawberries, a banana, 1 T flax seed, 1 c. milk and 1 T sf/ff white chocolate pudding.  It was pretty tasty - you just have to get past the color! It's not a cute green like Mike Wazowski!

 

For lunch, I ate at my desk at work - ugh

I had a kale salad with broccoli, walnuts, feta and raisins along with leftovers of this awesome meal - OSGs Spicy Rainbow Rice & Bean Salad.  I was DeeeLISH!

Tonight is date night for Mike and me - I know sushi will be on the agenda and probably a few beers watching the Sugar Bowl on the big screen at Flying Saucer!I can't believe that I'm actually going to write this (being the die hard Gamecock fan that I am) but here it goes...Go Razorbacks!

And the adventure continues...
