New Place

I'm in a new place...geographically and spiritually. Its all about New Beginnings and New Creations.

This morning I ate: 2 slices of turkey bacon and one boiled egg...2 glasses of h20...and took my b-complex vitamin.

Back to it

Okay, I've started and stopped more times than I care to count...but today is a new day. I'm pretty good at following rituals once I establish them so I'm going to be more ritualized about how I record my activities. It may make for a boring blog but it will hopefully make for a more fit me.

Food: Okay, this sucked. I made a few good choices but still ate way too many sweets today.

Water: Drank over 8 glasses...yay!!!

Exercise: 1.5 miles
30 min weights focus on core and legs
75 crunches no weights
12 crunches 8lb weight

Mood: I'm starting to realize that the only person really responsible for how I feel is me. I think that's part of what gave me the motivation to get off my lazy azz and go to the gym today. A new me is just waiting to be free from all this excess baggage that includes much more than just physical weight. I've got some emotional issues and spiritual works to tackle too.

slowly but surely

I've started doing at least 50 squats and 100 crunches before bed. I haven't gotten back to my cardio yet, but baby steps...baby steps.

Okay

I'm starting over...for real this time :-)

Learning to take care of me

Okay,

I've discovered that one of my major obstacles is lack of preparation. If I allow myself to get too hungry while I'm out of the house, its EXTREMELY difficult for me to avoid fast food stops. So this morning before I left the house I prepared some jerk veggies, packed up some leftover brown rice and plaintain and will have that on hand if I get hungry. I'm also taking some Kashi crunch bars in case the sweet and crunchy monster attacks.

I read somewhere that women always pack bags so that their babies are well taken care of when they're out and about, but seldom do we take the time to do that for ourselves. So now that I have a rolling briefcase (grad student books and woes)I can take more along with me. So today I have: 2 bottles of h2o, a kashi bar, my rice and veggie mixture, and some raw unsalted almonds. Wish me well!

In Peace & Victory,
Me

Warning..TMI ahead lol

Okay,

I didn't stick to 100% vegan, but my eating has improved. Most of the bumps have cleared up and I have more energy. I danced for a few hours Saturday and now my calves hurt...I don't think I've ever had sore calf-muscles! Especially since I wasn't doing too much of anything, just slow meditative movements. TV has basicly disappeared. I probably spent less than 5 hours this entire week on it. Yea for me! Still trying to get over the heartbreak, but hey, I can do this!

TMI: My BMs have been full and satisfying lol. When I eliminate, I feel totally cleaned out afterwards. Here's to roughage :-)
