Day One

This morning marked the official beginning of Katy's 4HB. I had a hard time sleeping last night as if it were the night before the first day of first grade (I was a nerd back then, and still am).

This morning I woke up at 6 AM and took a FIVE MINUTE COLD SHOWER! Invigorating. I am still cold from it but that's a damn good thing because I'm triggering my metabolism to kick into overdrive.

For breakfast, eggs & turkey bacon (although I wish I had remembered the carrots I set aside to juice). The breakfast lacked some legumes and it also lacked veggies. It was better than a bagel though. I also drank my coffee black with cinnamon! Tasty till the last drop. Then when I had a mouthful of crud, I nearly vomited. Life goes on.

Just finished my delicious and nutritious lunch that I prepared yesterday - chili loaded with beans and lentils and grass-fed beef. I would have used bison but I was limited to my shopping locale yesterday so beef it was. Yummy!

I will probably have chicken stir fry for din din tonight and I feel inclined to test out the kettlebell swings Tim keeps going on and on about. I will eventually start training for my triathlon season again but this month I'm focusing on losing body fat and feeling more in control of my body.

I'm looking forward to the first 'weigh-in' on Saturday. Come hell or high water, I will see an improvement in my total inches and weight.

Plus I picked out the prize for the 'winner' of our 4HB trio. The winner of the biggest percentage lost gets a little Moleskine journal - one page dedicated to each day so she can keep track of her progress on a daily basis. It's not a food journal, as we're not journaling. It's just big enough to keep little notes.

Mine looks something like this:

5-min cold shower
black coffee w/cin
need more veggies at breakfast
great lunch

Thanks for reading!
