Making The Cut... Just the beginning

So I met Jillian Michaels...
... and I'm not sure I like her much!

Okay, I didn't really meet her, but I bought her book. She is super intense! What a crazy woman, however, I must be just as crazy for buying the book. I decided to take the challenge of Making the Cut: 30 days of intense workouts, crazy food, and no alcohol!

A few crazy facts: Being 5'7" and 157lbs I am only allowed 1490 calories a day! WHAT!? I could eat that for breakfast... Okay not really, but with as much as I working out that I do... REALLY??? I was hoping for at least 2000!!

Eating - wow this will be tough - I'll write what I eat everyday! Every 4 hours - that's pretty normal for me!
Working out - two-a-days are going to be tough. But the good news is that I have a 2 hour limit. Can't work out more than 2 hours at a time. (That's a good thing I think. Trying to find optimism, however probably wouldn't have made 2 hours any one gym time.)
Sleep - 8 hours every night. She doesn't know me very well does she!

Grocery Store - I hate that place, and I already have to go back, and I went last night. This could teach me to like the Grocery Store.

Measurements - those will be done today before my first workout! Yikes!
Photos - I took a "before", but won't post those until it's over. I'm embarrassed! :/

Today is Day one.
1. Did I sleep 8 hours? - no. I didn't even sleep well. Lame! I wish that I could sleep, but one week and still not sleeping. I'm hitting the bed by 10p tonight!
2. Water - I'm doing well with that since I am only allowed 1490 calories, don't drink anything but water, unless it's milk to get my calcium in for the day!
3. Work out - haven't gone yet, but I looked at it and I'm scared! (And I don't usually get scared to go to the gym!)
