I had a great day yesterday food wise! I planned what I was eating for breakfast and lunch and snacks. I wasn’t hungry at all and….are you ready? I actually broke out a work out CD – Billy Blanks Taebo!
I had to start with Billy! I did 30 minutes. I figured since I haven’t worked out in a while, I should just take it slow. I will not lie, I had to look at my watch to see how much time was left! But, in the end I was glad I finished.
Billy Blanks always reminds me of when my husband, sister and I owned a 2 flat. Biz and Hannah lived upstairs, and my family lived downstairs. We would make a plan to work out together, and that was usually doing Taebo.
I would go up to her place before our kids were up and we would work out and laugh. Good times!
So, I started using My Fitness Pal to track my calories. It’s free, you can count calories, enter a recipe to figure out calories. I thought for the first time using it, it was super user friendly.
So, here was my day yesterday:
And, for dinner, I made one of my favorite meals. Click HERE for the recipe. Only 194 calories per cup!
So, all in all, I think it was a great start!
I figure I am just going to take it one day at a time and not think ahead too much. That way all the days will add up and before you know it I will be at my goal! I am officially making Monday my weigh in date, so I will post any losses on Mondays.
Have a super day!

Billy is BRUTAL!
I loved myfitnesspal for tracking my food – thought it was the easiest site out there. You are doing great and woohoo for Billy Blanks!
Now I have a picture of twins kicking some poor guy’s butt!
Great day!
What an awesome day! LOL…you’ve inspired me to dust off my Kathy Smith Kickboxing DVD! 🙂
That’s my strategy this year – one day at a time!
Glad your year started off on the right foot! 🙂
Great job on getting out the workout dvd. I so need to do that!
You are on your way!!!! Great job!! Know what??? I thought you were joking about Biz being your sister when you said that in an earlier post (I just thought you were super close friends)….but she really is isn’t she?? That’s so cool!!!! Both of your blogs are so awesome!
Oh holy cow, I can’t believe you STARTED with Billy!!!!! He’s what I work my way UP to! I usually have to pause and hack and get water otherwise I’m afraid I’ll be hospitalized. haha
Happy New Year Jenn!
Great job getting back at it. I need to follow suit!
