7:45 am - cold bath

I took a cold bath this morning and it was not easy. I tried to submerge my whole self for 10 - 15 minutes, but I could only get half way submerged. I live in South Florida for a reason and I really dislike the cold, so this was very difficult for me. The water was approximately 68 degrees.



My walk this morning



8:15 am - 45 minute walk (POM 1)

I took a nice walk to the beach ( I live 5 minutes). It wasn't too hot but by 8:50 am, I was dripping with sweat. After the walk I had a large glass of water and coffee.

 

12:00 pm - First Meal

Breakfast

I had 3oz of oikos Greek yogurt (0% fat) and 1/2 cup of blue-berries, a small gala apple with cinnamon and one hard boiled egg

I have some dance (10 minute) videos and I love them because I don't feel like I'm working out and I love to dance.

8:00 pm - Balloon

So, I said I would do all of Venice Fulton's crazy ideas and I blew up a balloon 10x , standing in front of a mirror.

Summary

First, I'd like to say I decided to make today my first day because, I didn't plan well enough yesterday. However, after reading Meaghan's post, she did it again and inspired me to make better choices, Thanks!
calories - 635, carbs- 59, fat- 25, protein - 54.5
I am honestly not that hungry. I know I should probably eat more, but I'm pretty filled up by the protein and it lasts throughout the day. I feel really good and hopefully I will be able to maintain this type of lifestyle for the next six weeks (and longer if possible). I have to say the hardest part of this was the cold bath this morning.
