Well.....

Do you wanna hear about my day?
Yes, yes you do!  :)

I planned on getting up early to get some exercise in, but I slept in.
BUT.... after waking up late,
I uncovered the elliptical from all of the clothes that were hanging all over it, and wiped the dust off.
I put my hair in a ponytail, put my exercise clothes on, and.....

Guess what??  I did 25 minutes, 2.5 miles on the elliptical.   :)
It wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but I think it was a good starting point.

I also started eating protein meal bars.  I ate two bars today, and then had dinner.
Some amazing fried chicken, salad, and green bean casserole. - Thanks Jim!!

There were a few moments where I was about to break....

At one point, I was getting ready to edit some photographs, and the folder that held all of the ones that I had already edited wouldn't open!!  It said it was corrupted.
Ummm.... I wanted chocolate at that point!!!! 
Instead, I went to my bedroom and weeded clothes out of my closet.  hahahaha
I did get rid of a big black trash bag full.

Guess what???
I got back on the elliptical tonight, and I did 30 minutes - 3 miles!!!  :)

So, for Day 1:  a total of 55 minutes - 5.5 miles

Tomorrow will be a challenge.  I have to work from 9-5:30 and then I have class tomorrow night.
I think I can handle my food intake, I just have to push myself to get the excercise in.

Class??  Are you wondering what kind of class I'm taking?
Well, I'm almost to the end of my Firefighter I&II certification class.
I will write some more on that later.

Today was a day of persisting.( sounds funny, since it was just the first day... )
