Making a Muscle Mommy

Day 1 -Afternoon

Lunch-Cottage Cheese, Green Beans, Nuts/Berries mix, Carrots, Pumpkin muffin.

30oz water

I was hoping to have gotten off work early today to go ahead to the gym but I'm not able to leave yet. I ran home for lunch and found some quick things to eat. Not much in the fridge and like no protein that would have been quick to make so I ate some nuts/dried cherries/berries mix. Not the best i guess but better than grabbing fast food like usual. I am going to figure out meal prepping. I do not have a microwave at work by I am about to live close to work so I can run home then. (literally I could run).

I also just realized that I have not had any caffeine today which is a feat because usually I start my morning with a coke zero. Would like to kick that habit as well.

Day 1-Morning.

I am tracking my fitness progress with this blog. I am going to track my food, weight, progress, workouts, motivation etc. Today is Day 1.

Weight: 270

Height 5'9

Breakfast: 4 eggs with 2 tbsp Mayo,

Water: 30oz

I am going to join my local gym today. I have worked with a trainer in the past but I've moved states so I paid him to help me make a training program that I can follow on my own. More on that later.

My focus for the first 4 weeks is to establish a workout routine and clean up my diet. Previously I have been eating fast food a lot and not nearly enough protein. So I am going to focus on making my food at home and incorporating more protein. I do not know anything about supplements, pre-workouts, etc. so I am not worrying about any of that for now. Though I am counting today as Day 1, I have been working on moving more and cleaning up my diet over the last week. It hasn't been perfect but I immediately noticed a big difference in my energy level and how I feel overall (less bloating, etc).

I want to start riding my horse competitively next year so a solid fitness routine will help me not only improve my riding by losing excess weight and having better balance/body control.
