We had a great first day, though we also learned a little lesson. We are both feeling great, and managed to make mostly good eating choices throughout the day. We did learn a little lesson about timing our meals. We had an appointment in the morning that ran long. Thankfully I had packed some healthy snacks to tide us over, but it ended up making our lunch much later than anticipated. As a result we were very very hungry and scrambling around the house to find something quick and easy for lunch. And because we had not yet done all of our shopping to stock the house with only good choices, we had to cheat just a little to get some food in our bodies. Fortunately, most of the junk is out of the house so the cheating was minor (eating a chicken salad made with yogurt and cheese). Needless to say, the grocery shopping was done so this would not happen again. My advice: stock your fridge before the challenge starts so you're not scrambling around at the last minute!
Kevin and I also decided to try out the "Can you 24?" workout video that accompanies the 24-Day-Challenge. We both would like to be better about incorporating exercise beyond walking the dog into our lives. I inputted our start date into the website (Can You 24? DVD) and it gave us a schedule of when we should do what types of exercises. And we both laughed (but secretly loved) a workout scheduled that gave your the weekends off, especially when you are starting the challenge on a Saturday!
