Day 1 -- Body for Life Logistics

I was very excited to get started this morning, but I was not prepared logistically. I had my work out schedule and meal plan all filled out and in my binder. I had set up my weight bench and laid out my dumbbells, but I had not noticed that I was missing the bar for my weight bench that changes the incline. Without the bar I would be required to do my entire workout in the declined position. By the time I found the bar in the basement, it was too late for a morning work out. I had to move on to earning a living and didn't eat my first meal until 9:30 am. However, I did fit my work out in later at around 11:00 am. I completed my upper body work out in 51 minutes and added five minutes of yoga for flexibility. It felt so good to be working out again. I know that there is no visible change yet, but I already feel stronger and leaner. When I went to make lunch, I discovered that I had cans of chicken, not tuna, so I had to change to a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread instead of the tuna salad planned for. Because of my late start, I skiped my 10am meal, but otherwise have stuck with my written plan. I am new to blogging, so I have not figured our how to post all the progress reports yet, but maybe I will figure that out this evening. Overall, I feel like it has been a good first day!
