Day 2 - Energy!

In the beginning of any new diet/weight loss plan you will inevitably have those first few days of complete will power. That is where I currently am. As I've only gone one day into my diet so far, I'm doing pretty good sticking to it. Yesterday would normally tend to be my hardest day of the week I imagine. I work two jobs on Tuesdays, one right after the other, and normally ingest fast food as a quick dinner between the two...however I abstained from the fast food establishments that are literally on every corner around me, and instead waited until I finally retreated home for some cereal. Cereal may not be the greatest food to partake of while on a diet, but if I'm to give up all the fast food joints, and co-worker lunches to those joints (yes, that is necessary) then cereal will be my savior!
I have yet to experience that all consuming feeling of hunger that drives you to distraction until you finally breakdown and grab that chocolate bar or unhealthy burger, so props to me! Yea, I know, only one day. In all honesty however people are right, you need to take all the little successes and make them personally big successes or you'll never reach your final goal. So I'm taking the small steps as they come and celebrating. Day 2 - here I come!

ya cereal, not so great for dieting or energy levels, and also eating 5 smaller meals a day is tons better your energy level is better and you give your body the carbs it needs to keep pushing through..best idea, if you can keep some nuts or something something easy to munch on with you at all times, so if your stuck in traffic or a quick snack it helps. Obviously can be anything other than just nuts..fruits veggies something easy and quick to take with you.
