My Journey: First Day - Living with a Health Coach

Jeff and I have talked about this for some time but I finally took the plunge.  I only wish I would have done this sooner.  It would be nice to be feeling better and at my goal weight by now.


This morning I weighed in at 159 lbs.  I plan to loose 36 lbs.  This would give me the BMI of 22, right in mid range of healthy.    


It was so funny this morning.  I usually grab something to bite as I walk out the door for work, because ideally I should eat within half hour to an hour after I wake up I should be eating something while I am getting ready for work.  Jeff wanted to be sure I got off on a good start so while I was in the shower he made me a bowl of oatmeal.  To put a visual picture in your mind, he was nearly chasing me around the house with a bowl and spoon, making sure I ate.  I had to laugh to myself, only if you live with a health coach will you get this kind of service.  I don't think the oatmeal will work for me as a first meal on a work day.  On Monday I think I will try a bar and save the oatmeal for the mid morning meal.


Today has been a really good day.  I found that eating my snacks were not a problem, I did find that I wanted something more so between mid-morning and lunch I had a chicken bouillon.  This was very surprisingly soothing. After lunch it is my habit to off set it with something sweet.  I didn't have anything but felt that when I have that urge I need chew a piece of gum or drink one of the Flavor Infusers in my water.  


I had some baked seasoned chicken with a green salad as my lean and green.  I ate every bite, even though the dogs were trying their best to get their share.  I have a meal coming up soon, which I look forward to eating a chocolate mint crunch bar and watch a TV show with Jeff, then it will be off to bed for a good nights rest.


Looking forward to being healthy and slim...  Becky
