Positive Change is Happening

So its been about a week since I last updated, and I generally spoke about the diet and getting off track. I am happy to say that I have been back on track. I have been keeping a food journal, and revised my at home workout plan. I have been making better choices in food, healthier ones. Yesterday was by far the best day. I spent most of my day at school yesterday, I have class from 8am - 6:50pm. I am up at 6 usually, but wok up late and with having to drop my son off at school I didn't get to eat breakfast until 9:30. And that may seem late but it actually wasn't bad because I didn't make myself eat when I wasn't hungry. I got out of class at 9:30 and ate a bacon, eggs, and toast with water. After my next class let out at 12:25pm, I ate a lunch; a 4oz piece of boneless, skinless, oven cooked chicken breast with about a cup of cooked collard greens. I drank a new drink I had picked up at Walmart, it comes in a singles pack, all I have to do is add water. Its actually Great Value, I bought 2 boxes to try. The first was the energy booster that came in Pomegranate Lemonade, the second was the regular Fruit Punch. The pomegranate lemonade was very good, would have been great with cold water, mine was a bit warm from sitting in the hot classrooms. The fruit punch wasn't bed either but definitely wasn't as great as the lemonade, it left a bit of a powdery taste in my mouth, but definitely better than  the Crystal Lite I'd previously tried. Anyway, I drank the lemonade drink with my lunch. And then right before my 5pm class, I ate my last snack; about 1/4 cup of spinach artichoke dip with some non fat baked crackers, and drank the fruit punch. It all kept me full and last night when I got home I had about 2oz of steak, with yellow rice, and half cup of veggies. Dinner could of been earlier, but overall, a great day on my way to change.

Also, I figured out that there are a ton of exercises that I can do in my bedroom without needing all the workout dvd's or a gym. Some of them I used to do in college to stay in shape when I played soccer, others are simply to stretch myself and regain flexibility. This "diet" that I am on, it isn't just to change my weight and appearance, its to change my body, how I feel, and most of all my health to make sure that I am around to provide my son with everything he needs and everything I'd like to be able to give him.
