Day One...isn't even done.

So this calorie counting thing is getting me down. It's lunchtime on my first day and I'm already up to 876 calories and all I've had today is a bowl of cereal this morning, a peach, and a bagel with cream cheese. I guess I should have skipped the bagel. I am limited, however, with my food resources as I have not gone grocery shopping for vegetables. It seems like I'll be eating a lot of them because they seem to have the least amount of calories. Maybe I'm just used to eating more and that is my problem, I don't know. I always hear people talking about their diets saying, "it's a lot of food..." wherein I think in my mind, "liar!" when they describe to me what their diet entails. This American lifestyle that I've become so used to has been my detriment! I grew up with a garden, fresh fruits and vegetables, and never feeling hungry while never having a problem with my weight. In fact, I never had a problem with my weight until after kids. I don't know if it's hormones, diet, exercise or what but it's got me down. My yoga this morning KICKED MY BUTT! So very sad. I recall doing that same workout before having Thing 3 and thinking, "this isn't so bad, I like this even." And now I realize that I am less limber than I used to be, my stamina sucks, and my muscles are very weak! I think I will definitely feel this tomorrow. Hopefully in a good way. But probably not. Sore legs, hooker heels, and a baby with car seat, don't mix.
