So today, I did some things to help begin my journey. I made a My Fitness Pal account, so I can keep track of my caloric intake and downloaded the app for easy access. I also walked/ran for 30 minutes this evening in the rich neighborhood.
My Fitness Pal gave me a calorie allowance of 1340 calories a day and I stayed within that today. I am trying to eat smaller portioned meals with a snack in between. Today went really well!
Side note: I had an interesting experience on my walk this evening. I was walking on the sidewalk on Hamilton and noticed a man coming down the other side of the street pushing a shopping cart. I became aware of his presence and noticed he was talking. I pulled my one earbud out so I could hear what he was saying. He was yelling about people disrespecting him and not treating him right or something. So I immediately turned the corner and walked up a side street hoping that he would keep going the other way. Of course, he did and was not at all concerned with me, but it was a little weird and I don't think I'm going to walk down there anymore.
I'm excited about what tomorrow will bring. Let's go, I'm ready for it!
You never know, he could have had a Bluetooth headset you couldn't see! I ran walked nearly 30 minutes this evening, too. I never thought I'd enjoy it this much, but I do. Keep it up!
