Again, good day.  I am very proud of how many vegetables I eating (5-6 cups is a lot).  I still have a second salad sitting down in the office fridge waiting for me.  This diet is more “no carb” than I would like, but I am willing to try anything.  Also learned that alfalfa can mess up hormones.  (I take alfalfa b/c a soccer coach once said it would help bruising - no more!)

Rating for yesterday: 8

Boot camp was canceled due to storms this morning, but I did the workout at home (it was really easy…).  But, easy isn’t bad.

Prepped food last night, good.  Next thing to work on, taking measurements (eh).

Always hate those “today is the first day!” “I’ll start today!” “everything will change today!” mantras, but they pop up in my head more than I like.  So we’ll just start with “day one.”  I purchased a book about hormones and dieting and exercising, and we’re going to go with their plan, to see what happens.  All very common sense, and it only builds on what I already have read, known, etc.

So, day one went well!  I managed 5-6 cups of veggies, and even went out to eat.  Definitely proud of not doing the little snacking here and there.

Ave food day (1-10): 7
To think about for day two: try to spend the evening prepping a bit more.

Oh, what does one do with all of those blogs you start but don’t keep up with…can’t really rip out the previous pages and turn it into a address book or something like a journal.  Can always start it up again, though!

So here I go — this time, documenting as well as I can my eating/exercising habits.  Why?  Because it seems it is a lot harder to do now that I’m 30, sedentary job, busy busy…  And after starting a fairly rigorous and regular fitness routine in February, I have only to find snugger pants.

What?  This isn’t for me to complain, but to document somewhere what I am doing - what works, what doesn’t…keeping myself honest.  A little bit of venting (if only to myself) may help relieve some frustration, too.
