First Day Down

Well, I started my fertility diet yesterday and forgot how hard it is the first couple of days to eat better. I filled up on my oatmeal and flax seed, and all that kind of good stuff, but was still hungry. I know things will get better in a week or so, but it's hard to not mindlessly eat like I was doing before (especially at work when I was bored!) I also need to get in the habit again of really looking at what I'm eating before I eat it. When the bubs and I were doing body for life I got pretty good at reading labels and need to get back into the groove again. Bad thing about eating tons of fiber again? My tummy. It will take a little while to get back to the high fiber diet I was used to before and not have it affect me. I'm also still on the red bulls. I know, I know. I'm slowly weaning myself off, it's just the caffeine withdrawals I have if I go cold turkey. I don't know how the bubs does it, but I can't. Well, at least I can't and still function at work. Maybe this weekend I'll just stop drinking them. Soda? I can take or leave it. Energy drinks, love them. Ahh.....well, now for day two. Oh, and I did break down at the end of the night and had four oreo's. But, they don't have trans fat in them! I couldn't help it, I needed something sweet (and yes, I could FEEL my blood sugar levels rise!) Bubs is following the weight-watchers plan again but I'm going more for the body for life eating plan. I don't have to count my points but am still very aware of what I'm eating. Plus, when I have protein in the morning, it kills my points even when I make it with water. I'd rather have the protein (as I don't get it the good old fashioned way) than the points. I've also decided to renew my membership at Lady Fitness. I wasn't going too, but decided that if I go to the morning classes (which is going to be really hard!) then I could run at night with the bubs. I need to get my bmi between 20-24 for optimal "baby making" (or so the book says.) So, I need to start stepping it up with exercise. It's been kind of hard lately as I'm not getting home until after 6:30 and still have to make dinner, do laundry, etc, but I need to quit making excuses and just do it!
