May 8, 2009

Again, it was a tough day. Today was a little more emotional than the last week. I felt like things were really looking up and today got a little whammied. Felt pretty depressed this afternoon. I was starving when I left the store. That doesn't help. Gonna take this weekend to work on me...me...me!!

breakfast
2 rice thins with sunbutter and all fruit spread

triple venti soy latte

lunch/dinner
chic fil a sandwich and fries

Still craving sweets and didn't get enough water today.

My body is sooooo sore and I have a terrible headache. Good news, it didn't turn into a migraine. Bad news....just don't feel like doing anything. My right arm keeps going numb.

AHAAHAHHAAA!!!!

I'll keep this short because it is actually May 8 that I am posting this. It all goes back to time and I still haven't figure anything out. Hopefully the weekend will give me a little time to make a plan.

breakfast
2 rice thins with sunbutter and real fruit spread

lunch
sonic burger and fries

dinner
chicken alfredo from pizza hut

I did want something sweet but resisted. Since I quit doing the green shake I have gotten the sweet tooth back....hmmmmm

May 6, 2009

This is the first day that I am blogging. My intention here is to provide as much insite as possible to the journey on my way to health. It's not that I am in poor health, but I know that I could feel better, be stronger and look better. All in all, these things would make me a much happier person.

But, for me it isn't as easy as saying, "okay, today is the day that I get myself eating better and exercising." I mean, the entire world knows that if you eat right and exercise you will be in better health than if you don't. But, I also know that there are a lot of people out there that are just like me. Food provides something other than nourishment and exercise is what you get when you have to take something up the stairs of your home. That's why I decided to go this route.

I am going to be open and honest here. I will have to look at what is going on in my life as it relates to food and exercise. With this blog I've given you carte blanche to look at my ups and downs and take this journey with me. I hope you find my trials, tribulations and comic approach to things interesting.

So here is my food journal for today so far (3:24 pm)

breakfast
8 oz. water
2 cups of coffee (about 24 oz total) with 1 cup of almond milk
1 boiled egg
1 banana nut bread GoRaw bar

snack
dozen wasabi and soy almonds

lunch
bag of Milano cookies (I know...what was I thinking!!)

dinner
chicken alfredo from Pizza Hut

dessert
rice krispy treat

Kind of sucks for a first attempt at getting healthy. I have to find a balance between time (or lack of) and my desire to be my best self.
