Well today was day one I guess you could say, because yesterday was pretty much getting motivated for this and deciding it was time to start. Before I get into today here’s a little bit of information about why I’m going to do this. We had Thanksgiving supper at in-laws on Thursday and after we ate I went upstairs to see if there was a ball game on TV and one of my wife’s cousin’s kids followed me upstairs. I think she is around five years old, anyway we were setting there and she said “what’s in your stomach? All I could think of to say was there is a lot of food in there and laugh. She smiled and left, then all I could think about was how honest kids are and how large my stomach must look to a five year old. So anyway that’s going to be my little story/motivator that I’m going to use to kick this thing off. Now about today, I had a good plan last night when I went to bed and the day went totally opposite of what I had planned. Here is what I planned. I was going to get up and go for a walk at five thirty and then come home and eat two scrambled eggs and some toast and have a glass of 2 percent milk. Then go into work thirty minutes early and get ahead on everything. I was going to have two tuna sandwiches for lunch and then some baked fish for supper tonight. Well here is how the day went I woke up late, was hurrying to get ready only to find out I was last in line for the bathroom and when it was my turn no hot water, so while I was waiting on that I made my two tuna sandwiches for lunch and toasted me two extra pieces of bread for breakfast. Well I got ready went out to crank the car and it wouldn’t crank, so I had to jump it off and then in all the confusion forgot to eat my toast. On the way to work I was tempted to stop by Jacks and get two sausage biscuits, but I didn’t, I showed up at work thirty minutes late (lucky I’m the boss hunh?) Well everyone has a boss right, yep my boss was waiting on me, and he needed me to take a trip with him and said he would be right back for us to leave. I was tempted to go get some cookies and a coke, but I got one of the guys to scramble me a couple of eggs and get me two pieces of toast while I was getting everything else started at work. So I stuck with my breakfast plan pretty much. We left and I left my two tuna sandwiches in the fridge at work. One of the perks when going on the trips is work pays for lunch. The boss wanted to stop at Logan’s Roadhouse and eat. Man I love their ribs and their rolls I could eat half a dozen easy! But I didn’t eat one and I had a grilled chicken salad. The boss and the other two guys wanted to know if I was sick. J I told them the story about the little girl and everyone had a good laugh. We didn’t get back into town till around six thirty and I was starving to death. I still hadn’t got my walk in though so I stopped by the school track on my way home and walked a mile it took me twenty-two minutes, but hey I did it! When I got home I ate one of the tuna sandwiches and about eight ounces of leftover turkey and ha d medium sized baked potato. So to sum today up it was full of curves, but I hung in there and made it through and that is what I’ve got to do is take each day and make it count.
An added bonus today was last week I ordered me a new pair of running/walking shoes and they came in today. I ordered them on one of those spur of the moments when I said I’ve got to do this and I bet if I had a new pair of shoes I could, well hey I started this before the shoes came in, but they will be nice to have. What will tomorrow bring?
