Day One of a New Weight Loss Year

Today is day one of weight loss year number two and my October Challenge (Tighter Belts and Even Tighter Wallet), and it has gone very well as far as the eats go. Everything today has been on plan, and I'm pretty confident I can finish the day on plan.

I started today with egg whites and salsa on a whole wheat wrap and a banana for breakfast. I also began my day with a lot of Song Pop. I think I may play a little too much of it in the morning. :)

I had this minus the cheese.

My morning snacks were...

My lunch was....

Yummy leftovers from a local Mexican restaurant on our town square.

After lunch I got a confirmation e-mail saying that all my materials were in for my application for graduate school. I can't believe how real it is becoming. I think it might be the whole $60 fee for looking over all these materials that made it a bit more real.

Once school was out I cleaned up my room, chilled to some music on my iPod (my '70's playlist), and ate a snack.

After my snack I went to two different Dollar Tree stores and a Dollar General looking for things I could use in my upcoming music program. I found some kazoos and toy drums for my second graders song about being in a marching band. It will be so cute if I could find some drum major type hats for them to wear too.

My dinner is going to be...

And then I will watch The Voice (so in love with this show and am wondering why I watched Idol over this) and think of more props, costumes, parts, motions, etc. for the program since it is the 23rd of October.

If I need a snack tonight, I'm going to make a breakfast cookie.

I didn't really do any formal workout today, but I got in my 8,000 steps for the walking challenge by going to all those stores after work. Since I'm still feeling tired from being sick, I think that is enough for today.

Here's to many more days on plan like today!
