DAY 1 OF 365: STARTING FRESH

 So today began my challenge; to be the better, healthier, fitter me. I have to say it started out great. I began my day with a cup of Green Tea instead of my normal 2 cups of coffee. I also made myself some eggs with some fresh fruit and granola. That might not sound like a huge change to some, but on a typical day, my breakfast might include 2 cups of coffee with a pop tart or if I am lucky a bowl of cereal.  Now I must admit that I have been drinking coffee since I was a freshman in High School. It has gotten to the point where I can drink anywhere from 4 to 6 cups a coffee a day. Usually I will have 2 cups of coffee while I get ready for work, and then I will have about 2 to 3 cups of coffee while I am at the office.  So the fact that I went all day without a cup of coffee is an amazing feat for me. 

So after my healthy breakfast I headed into the office. The rest of my day went as usual. Just a typical day full of casting and the occasional call from production. The only change was that my lunch was a healthy salad that consisted of grilled chicken, walnuts, craisins, blue cheese, and apples, with a honey balsamic dressing. Not to mention my snack break was a few orange and apple slices with a handful of almonds. Now don’t get me wrong, the chocolates and sweets that were left over from the holidays tempted me, but I stayed strong and enjoyed my healthy snack.

I was also able to schedule my first session with my Nutritionist for this Saturday at 1pm. I am excited to see the regiment that she has in store for me. The best part is that she will be giving me recipes for healthier meals. And if there is a favorite meal that I like that she doesn't have a recipe for, she will create a recipe for the healthier version.

So after finishing what I needed to get done at the office, I headed to Club H for my first session with my personal trainer, JC.  The session was basically a strategic meeting regarding how to set up my routine.  We chatted about what my goals were and what I wanted to get out of my work out. General questions were asked about my health and any predisposed health issues and then I was on my way. We schedule the first official work out for this Wednesday night at 8pm with another session on Saturday at 9am. Let the soreness begin! Well, I hope I didn’t bore you guys too much. I promise, once I get the hang of this blogging, I will try and make them more exciting. Also, any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Especially any LA fads that are going right now, let me know. I mean this is called the 90210 experiment.
