Just past the half way mark and it's time to focus on the second half. I'm committed to changing my way of life to a better way of life. It involves exercise and eating right. I'm getting great help from L on both fronts. I enjoy the workouts (as much as you can enjoy sweating ) but the food side does create lot's of challenges. I keep looking back and realizing how much eating is a habit that was created quite a few years ago. Back when I was in my 20's I'd go to the fast food place and order lot's of food. Instead of getting a hamburger and fries and a drink, I'd order two sandwiches along with the fries and probably an order of onion rings to boot. Even then my youthful metabolism probably wasn't thrilled about all that crap being forced upon it. As I grew older I continued to double and triple order food to stuff my face with. In case anyone is wondering why, I was looking for something that really wasn't there to begin with. I was looking for satisfaction. It's taken me a long time to realize that satisfaction was never going to be found in a McD's wrapper. It's like any drug, in the moment the high is perfect but as soon as that high dies away well, you need more and more. It's really too bad that it took this many years and all those really bad meals to figure it out. And just like any addict I have to fight it every day. I just want to get it right for the rest of my life.
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich with avocado and tomato. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
Snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: Spinach salad with cauliflower, yellow zucchini, beet, and roasted chicken pieces.
Break: Fiber One bar
Dinner: Quinoa salad mix with cauliflower, yellow zucchini, and tomato mixed with some of the roasted chicken. An Aussie bite.
Didn't go to the gym as I had a chiropractor appointment. Will hit it tomorrow.
