First day down, now on to day two

Well I would love to say that yesterday was perfect and great and everything went as planned, that's what I would like to say, but if I am going to do this, I am going to have to be honest both with myself and with you, so no yesterday was not perfect. There were some really good parts and small victories that I will embrace and then other parts that I need to learn from and move past in order to reach my goals.
First, the morning was great, got up did my run, well actually it is a run/walk at this point. I am running 3 minutes, walking for 2. So that went well, loved every minute of it, then came back had my protein shake and made my juice to take with me.
So far, so good. Then we took the car in to have it looked at because it is leaking and smelling. So what to do while the car is in the shop, my husband and I walked to McDonalds, not to eat but because they have Wifi. The walk was nice about a mile walk, so more exercise was great. Got to McDonalds and was working on my IPad, drinking my water and juice, not too bad. Oh just as a side note, when you start increasing your water intake, make sure there is always a bathroom near by. Got a little hungry and ordered one of their parfaits, fairly healthy. Then the car still was not done and I'm hungry, so I broke down and ordered a small French fry. I know, I know not good.
But we did walk back to the repair place so maybe I walked it off.
Now we have a couple of errands to run, oh by the way the car never got looked at they got backed up at the repair place so we have to take it back another day.
Anyway, we decided to go to get something to eat and ended up at a Cajun place where I had a catfish sandwich with more fries. What can I say, I was hungry.
So if I am going to be gone all day I need to plan better with snacks. But hey, it was the first day. Today is a new day, I love that each day we can leave the past behind and start anew. I will let you know how today goes tomorrow. Wish me luck.
