Day 1
 6 Week Diet and Fitness Program

Day 1 of 42 is off to a great start.  In preparation for the six week diet program, I indulged on lots of ice cream and apple pie the day before I started.  Although I might have countered some of the calories with my 3-mile fast walk.

I started off my day with my usual 2 cups of coffee.  Sometimes I have more, rarely do I have less.  I guess you could say I have an addiction to coffee.  One thing I did notice is that the creamer I use has 25 calories for 1 TBSP.  I have never measured the creamer, so I am not quite sure how much I am using.  Probably, I am using 2-3 TBSP per cup of coffee.  This is one adjustment I will need to make.

The other option is to just use regular milk for the coffee.  Of course I drink 2% milk (I have no intentions of switching to 1% or skim milk) so there are probably the same amount of calories  when I use milk instead of creamer.

Calories for the whole day are as follows: (Some calories are estimated)

Coffee   50

Oatmeal w/2% milk 260

1 Quesadilla with pepper jack cheese 230

Handful of Pringle Chips 80

Medium Bowl of Melon 120

4 Buffalo chicken wings 130

Total intake for day:  1200

Nothing!!!  It was raining outside and I didn't feel like going to the gym or doing the treadmill.
