Day one complete...

I'm not going to write every day but this was my first day so, I figure it warrants a post. Today I put a paper of a small workout schedule on the wall in our living room. It is as follows:

50 bicycles

25 squats

15 sumo squats

50 calf raises

100 arm circles

(50 left, 50 right)

15 push-ups

50 jumping jacks

1 min plank

I'm committing to doing this EVERY day except Sunday. As time goes on I might even start doing more sets but for right now I'm only doing one set in the morning. I'm also going to to try and run every day or at least every other day. Today I ran for about 24 mintues although, I'm not sure how far I went...
 I've joined myfitnesspal.com to help me track EVERYTHING I'm eating and make me more aware and accountable for what goes in my mouth. I'd suggest this site to those who have a hard time with binge eating... I put in my food before I eat it so I know exactly what I'm getting myself into. Also, skinnytaste.com has some really amazing recipes for low-fat, low-calorie meals. Like this one:

Along with trying to make myself leaner I'm working on making my home cleaner. I find that when my home is clean I have more energy in the morning and more motivation to workout. So every morning I'm going to make my bed, do a load of laundry and make sure everything is generally picked up. Then before bed I'll make sure the kitchen and living room are clean. This is my commitment to ME! I'm already feeling great about this year!
