Day One.....and I'm grumpy!

Well here we are Day one and it's been a bit of a rubbish day!

In my little ideal world, I imagined waking up this morning confident, excited and positive but in reality, after a really crap night with RJ and a maximum of about 4hrs sleep I awoke this morning like a grumpy bear! Couple that with my measurements being shockingly bad I have rather disappointingly started this challenge in a bad mood!

Food wise I've been good:
B'fast: apple, orange, seeds and a small dollop of organic yog
Lunch: 2 poached eggs and some Palma ham
Dinner: Cold pork, salad and 2 new potatoes
But I've felt hungry all day..I'm assuming that's because I've had low energy levels because of the lack of sleep although your mind is a strange thing isn't it and I'm also wandering if I felt hungry because I knew it was day one. I've not given in though and snacked on fruit and nuts although probably more than I was doing last week.

First inspirational e-mail from Dax and I'm in the Blue Team, my friend A is in the red so im expecting a large amount of good-spirited competition. The exercise vids were fab! Deceivingly hard 8 minutes and my thighs are killing me after all those squats but it is so nice to know I'll be able to do some sort of exercise every single day for the next 30 even if I don't make it to the gym. I did it in the garden so god knows what my neighbours thought! The mobility warm-up was lovely too although I had to improvise with a golf brolly as I didn't have a broom handy!

So heres the hideously embarrassing stats:
Weight: 178.4lbs
Chest: 41"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 42"
Thigh (8"): 23.5"
Thigh (4"): 18.5"
Arm: 12"

Revolting isn't it? Not sure measuring is a great motivational tool for me but fingers crossed that will change when the numbers start to go down!

So end of day one and I'm glad it's over, a camomile tea and then bed for me. Tomorrow is another day and I really will wake up feeling strong, confident, well-rested and Positive!

GOOD LUCK to all my fellow challengers!
