The First Day

Today really was a rough day. I didn't get to sleep until 2 last night and 6:15 came way early! I was determined to stick with it today. Last week a friend of ours gave a a huge bag of candy left over from Halloween and I took it to work and left it there over the holiday weekend. The day that I wanted to do good that stupid bag of candy sat on the table and wouldn't you know it EVERYONE was coming by the Pod to eat it. FREAK! But I stayed strong and didn't partake of the forbidden food. I have finally figured out what my problem is, I have never ate for emotional reasons or because I am internally scarred. I eat because I LOVE food, but I will eat until you puke watching me eat! I have no self-control. This is not good, for the viewers at home, or for my waistline. I am going to school to be a Network and System Security Administrator and I remember when I made the decision to go into that field, it was a struggle because my perception of IT people is this:

This is not how I want to be and I know that if I don't do something now, I will end up squishing my coworker to death one day.
So today it started. And I have to say, the workout plan that Cort gave me was great. I felt great working out and I worked very hard to watch what I ate and also to make sure to drink more water. I guess watching what I eat is not that hard at work because I plan it all out very specifically, but it is when I get home at night that I really have to watch what I eat. I have to remind myself that it is only day one. Day one is always easy, it's day 5, 6, 7, and so on that gets harder. But I have a very supportive wife who wants me to succeed and I feel like my desire is greater and I WANT to change. On to day two...
