I'm off to a decent start! Pretty excited! I TRIED getting out of my workout this morning, but my friend Jennifer came through for me...and THIS is exactly why we're perfect work out buddies for each other!! When I tried to bail she TM'd back, "NO PAIN NO GAIN! I'll let you off the hook, but I'm going!" And of course, competitive and stubborn girl that I am, I could not back down from the challenge or be outdone. I went. I didn't kick butt, but I didn't crash and burn either, so I'm happy with that.
When I got home, I took my Paranil capsuls and downed some more water, showered during the 15 minute wait, then had my fiber drink which was not nearly as bad as I remember it from last time. It does give you the urge to chew it, but the banana flavor is quite tolerable. For breakfast, I had one of the most amazing Golden Delicious apples I've ever tasted...SO sweet! And a fantastic orange. And a slice of chewy Cinnamon Date Manna Bread with Earth Balance on it. Mmmmmmm! Now that I've broken into grains already, I'm guess I'm done with fruit for the day. I'm working towards eating strictly raw till dinner, but for now I still need something with more substance to hold me over.
I'd like to make a note of my personal goals at the beginning of this journey:
I've previously tried 100% raw and it's entirely too difficult to stick to. So by the end of the year I'd like to be comfortably eating 100% raw for breakfast, snacks, and lunch, but wholesome cooked comfort foods in the evening. This seems like a happy medium.
In the process of all this exercise and diet, I'd like to lose 75 pounds. Yep, that's right. 75. We're gonna have to ROCK HARD.
This is kind of vague, but I'd like to feel better, have more energy, and think more clearly. Not sure how to measure the success of that besides just knowing. I'll keep ya posted.
