my health: take two

I mentioned before that I wanted to get back in shape and start eating better. Now that I’m not feeling so sick these days, and I’ve gotten Harry Potter out of my system (for now anyway), I am ready to go at this full force. So I’m going to start monitoring what I’m eating and how much exercise I do. Hopefully this will help teach me a few things.

Starting weight, as of this morning: 118. er… something. Anyway. The weight factor isn’t as important as the eating healthy part, but I figure if I start noticing differences from day to day I might be able to find corellations with what I’m eating when I gain (or lose weight) and how I’m feeling that day.

• Breakfast: Er, none. I know, I’m horrible. But I slept in without meaning to!

• Lunch: I ate a bunch of chocolate cookie/wafer things and had a glass of soy milk. Hellooo fat!

• Snack: A spoonful of light peanut butter and a glass of milk.

• Dinner: 1 chicken fajita with roasted peppers. Should have added shredded lettuce, but alas we had none.

• Total glasses of water: Maybe 2 or 3. Probably not good.

• Exercise: A little over 20min of running on the treadmill, followed by another 20min of walking (I ran into a friend and I stayed to chat instead of hopping on the bike like I normally do). Then some lackluster stretches while we talked some more.

Analysis for the day (so far): My eating habits really suck. I think I’m doing all right with the dairy aspect of things, and possibly protein too, but those vegetables are the bane of my existance. I may have to pick up some V8 juice next time I’m at the supermarket. Also, the junk food in my house has to go. I have the worst combination as far as food cravings go: A sweet tooth, and no willpower whatsoever. It’s going to be a long, hard road.
