Week 1 - Day 1

Well today was a success. This morning I woke up at 4AM, weighed myself, and made it to the gym by 5AM to do my hour long spin class and burned 650 calories. It felt really good afterwards, but during the class I felt like I was going to die. I also must have done something to my left knee. I feel like an old woman, when I sit for a while and then get up to walk behind my left knee is sore.

I have been logging my food using myfitnesspal.com, which works very well if you stick to it. My calorie goal is set to 1200 calories per day and then the calories you burn when you work out gets added to the 1200 calories. This means after my workout this morning I had 1850 calories to use. I used them very wisely and tried to get all of my nutrition along with it. Currently I have about 1,000 calories remaining for dinner and my wonderful husband is making chicken using the four cheese fresh take packet and some wheat macaroni noodles with light ragu pasta sauce. I also have some weight watcher ice cream for dessert :)
