Turning a New Old Leaf: Week 2 (So Far)
Week 1 was a success as far as I'm concerned. I didn't workout all the days I wanted to, but things were crazy so I let it slide. By the end of the week I was making some adjustments to my diet based on how I felt and what was available to me. Saturday kind of took me off guard as I was out of the house a lot longer than expected, so I wasn't prepared with snacks or water while I was out. I managed with a bun-less grilled chicken sandwich, though, and I felt good about that. I'm not 100% avoiding wheat or anything, but I have significantly downsized my consumption of it. Plus, buns add a ton of calories I'd rather fill with something better. Sunday I tried some delicious vegan pizza and I managed to make this "raw cookie dough" type stuff from peanut butter and chickpeas that was surprisingly spot on and also delicious. Score one for Pinterest!
Week 2 has been a lot more awesome. Monday was a wash... I slept in and ended up spending the whole day attempting to put together some stuff for a fellow raver who passed away over the weekend. We got a fund setup to help his family pay for the funeral and burial as well as got an event put together for the ravers to celebrate his life and to generate more funding. I didn't work out, but I did do 10x pushups a few times throughout the day. I didn't eat much throughout the day, but again, so much was going on. I think I just needed a day to put myself back together. Yesterday I woke up, worked out (back, chest, and arms), drank my first protein shake in awhile, and managed to eat spot on throughout the day. After my dinner meal I decided to go for a brisk walk. I ended up crossing under the 57 and making my way through the CSUF campus with a stop at Target to pick up a few groceries I needed on my way home. Today I woke up early (before 8, and not cranky or unrested!), worked out (Ab Ripper X), and have thus far been eating well. I think I will do another brisk walk tonight after dinner as I felt pretty awesome after yesterday's adventure.
Go Team K!
