Day 2

So I got on the treadmill last night and let me tell you, I am worse off than I thought.  The used treadmill I bought doesn't have an incline adjustment and its naturally set to its own incline.  Wow did that make a difference in how long I lasted. Usually I can walk for quite some time (without any incline) but I only made it 10 minutes and my calfs were screaming! It is going to take some time to adjust to the incline thing.  But I will do it. I even jogged a bit at the end of my 10 minute walk. Honestly the incline was much less noticeable during the jogging part.

For the most part I think I did very well with my food intake yesterday. I didn't keep track of points (which I don't plan on doing), but I ate healthy foods in the correct portions and I didn't snack much.  I am also very proud to say that I stayed active yesterday.  I wasn't running marathons but I kept very busy around the house doing chores/projects and spent very little time sitting.  To be honest, on a normal basis, I spend a very large majority of my day sitting on my butt. 

I have a chicken in the crockpot for dinner tonight that I will serve with a small side of Parmesan Mashed Potatoes.  By the way, the Shrimp Po'Boys went over pretty well last night.  The coconut green beans were so-so. Not worth the extra effort but they weren't horrible.
