Yesterday went pretty well. I was able to pick up the prescription from my doctor for the antidepressant and started that right away. She told me to start with one in the morning and go up to 2 if I need it. We'll see how it goes. Work was very busy so that helped distract me from thoughts of food and snacking all day.
I got up early and did a Fitness Blender cardio and lower body routine. I am loving the variety after running so much in June.
Food journal:
Breakfast - egg bake topped with salsa
Lunch - quinoa, peas, pulled pork, BBQ sauce
Snack - apple
Dinner - chicken enchilada, cauliflower rice, salsa, lettuce, tomato, onion, greek yogurt
Snack - pretzel chips and chipotle hummus
Beverages - 4 cans Diet coke, sparkling water with dinner, coffee
I had my first counseling appointment to start tacking my food issues. It felt a little uncomfortable to be so forthcoming with a stranger but at the same time that is her job so I thought I better get my money's worth. She was very nice and recommended a book called, "Eating by the Light of the Moon." Definitely not a book I would choose on my own but it is highly reviewed on Amazon, only $10 and can't do any harm. I ordered it this morning so I'll give an update when I've had a chance to get into it.
Today is my first appointment for nutrition counseling. This is the appointment I'm most excited about. I need someone to take all the conflicting information I've stored up in my brain and give me a plan to follow. The counselor yesterday alluded to the idea of just eating because I'm hungry and enjoying social functions without guilt. I can't wait.
On a side note, my mom is also working to get in shape and is starting a 10 week challenge through a local gym on Saturday. I am going to ask her if I can blog about her experience too as we seem to go through these things together and there might be some good insight and of course humor along the way.
