self-improvement: day 1

Or not.

Today was supposed to be the first day of the two-week diet and training  regime I put together to Stay in Shape and Stop Eating Crap (mostly to stop eating crap), but I woke up feeling all nauseous and headachey. Just my luck. As you may have surmised, I’ve been a bit lax lately in terms of my eating habits and gym attendance, and I’m hoping that by making this folly public that maybe I can be more motivated to get back on track. Normally I try to make it to the gym at least four times a week to do both cardio and weight-training, and I save one day a week (usually sunday) for a yoga/pilates class.

As far as the eating habits go… well. Let’s just say I have a sweet tooth, and very little self-control. Sometimes. Okay, okay, all the time. Luckily I have been blessed with a relatively speedy metabolism, so as long as I continue to work out, it doesn’t show. But those crappy habits will all change soon, at least after I start feeling better.

Today, I had some green tea (good), but then I followed it with the only cure I know for throw-uppyness: really salty crackers (bad… although they are SOO good). I had wanted to make an omlete for breakfast, but I’m afraid my stomach won’t be able to handle it, and then I’ll have to resort to having some soup or something. And as I’m not a fan of soup, unless its of the “Cream of [whatever]” variety, and that = also bad. I can only hope that I’m feeling better by tomorrow so that I can at least go to my favourite yoga/pilates class. And possibly on monday I can get the ball rolling for good.
