Day 1 and 2 of my 21 Day Fix Journey

How do you begin a blog about weight journey? I have done several different things from Weight Watchers, Body by Vi, Advocare, and now 21 Day Fix. I have started off strong, but then fell off the wagon. I know many people have done the same thing. I am not sure what this blog will do but I want to journal my journey. I have to say I came across this by listening to others, and my husband's cousin Lynne. She had great results. After reading up and asking questions I decided to do this journey. Thankfully Lynne has answered all my questions and has not been aggravated. This journey involves portion control, exercise, and water intake. I started my journey yesterday so I will write about day 1 and 2.

  Day 1: I started off looking at what I would eat. I know now that I need to have a plan ready. I did ok yesterday but had difficulty meeting all my containers. I thought I could just get up and look at my board to determine what to eat. Nope, that is not possible. I did great most of the day, but felt like when I was putting food in the containers I was eating so much. I got everything I need in one day, but oh my word it was hard. I did do the DVD exercise program. Thankfully there is a modified version. I felt good doing the exercise program in the morning. I think working out in the morning makes me feel much better. It is thirty minutes of movement. The trainer on the DVD does a great job of explaining what to expect. After working out I felt great. I know I will fell it. This journey with portion size is going to be the toughest besides missing Happy Hour. I have to make sure I eat regularly. I have a problem with not eating and then just eating to feel like I am full. This is were I overeat. I am realizing that just after one day.
  Day 2: Get up out of bed and oh man I feel the workout from yesterday. My thighs were burning as I got up out of bed, and then as I walked around this morning. I got up at 5:15 and began my workout. Day 2 workout is upper body. I didn't have my weights so I did the modified version without weights. I felt good doing the workout and was not tired. As I listen to the rainstorm outside and did my workout I was thinking ok, I can do this. After my workout I starting planning my meal for the day. Breakfast was easy because I was at home eating. I did have problems finishing off the container of blueberries. I have to figure out how to eat those containers and not have any left over. Come to find out I can eat this through the morning. At school I was a little worried about how I would handle school. I had my shake as a snack. I realized that the snacking is making me not want to eat lunch. I need to figure that out. I did eat a hour after my lunch break. I was able to eat all my food so I felt like I had accomplished something. I know that I felt good most of the day. Now as the evening has gone on I am very tired. I am ready to go to bed. I usually stay up way too late. This is going great so far. I am only 2 days into the 21 Day Fix. I will continue to journal about it and hopefully won't get discourage from my weight loss. I would post a picture, but will wait to post after the 21 days. You never realize what a picture shows that you shake your head and wonder how in the heck did I allow myself to get this way. The one thing I hope to learn is portion control, but I am able to do it without the containers. If it goes the way I am hoping then I can suggest it to a friend of mine who is wanting to lose weight too.
