Week One, Day One

Time: 8:45 AM
Weight: 143 lbs

I'm going to buy a skipping rope today and do that for my 30 minutes of cardio for the day.
I haven't jumped rope in YEARS.
Literally.
This is probably going to kill me, but I'm not going to quit.

Update (10:30 AM): I bought a skipping rope, but being a dumbass, I bought one that's about a foot too short so I couldn't use it.
I went for a jog instead.
I jogged for about six or seven minutes before I had to slow to a walk.
Not bad, considering how out of shape I think I am.
Tomorrow I'm going to return the skipping rope and buy one that's a better length.

Well, I goofed up on the ice cream, but I did really good all the rest of the day.
And I'm still 300 calories under my "maintenance" amount.
Plus I burned a bunch of calories on my jog.
Tomorrow will be better.
Today was my first day, so I'm still getting used to this.
I've never really counted my calories so precisely before, I hadn't realized how quickly they add up, even when you're eating healthy foods.
