I'm Starting a Blog

I have been reading some of blogs posted on the website, and they have motivated me to start one too. I think that writing this blog will help me to stay more focused and aware of what I am doing to accomplish my goals during the BE Fit challenge.

So far I have done pretty well on the challenge. I think that my biggest challenge so far has been time. I have been so busy at work lately, and I have had a really hard time making it to Cross Fit classes. I have been running. I am going to run the St. Patricks day half marathon in March, and I need to be able to run the distance. I am working on getting in longer runs. Today I sat down and decided what meals I will take for lunches next week, and what meals I will cook for dinner. I think that by doing this I will save time during the week, and I will cook meals that I know are Paleo approved.

I woke up this morning to snow. Since it was so cold outside I had to run on my treadmill. I am a big baby with the cold weather. I ran five miles today.

As far a what I ate today.... I really didn't eat alot. I know you are supposed to eat when you are hungry, but I wasn't that hungry today. I definitely don't think I ate enough. I have to work on this too.

I had a cup of coffee around 10:00 (I put creamer in it. I just can't drink black coffee)
At 1:00 I had tuna fish with cucumbers.
I braved the snow and went to the mall after lunch. I was distracted at the mall so I never really felt hungry. I didn't eat again until dinner.
For dinner I cooked lean steak. I seasoned it with a dash of salt, garlic, pepper, and olive oil. I made brown rice for my husband, and I also attempted to make the mashed cauliflower. The cauliflower tasted good, but it didn't turn out like the picture. I am not sure what I did wrong.
I love chocolate, but I really have not had a hard time going without it.

Tomorrow will be another day. I think we are starting day 9. My goal for tomorrow is to eat a little more, and drink more water.
