Book's here!

Really fell off the wagon there the past few days! Admittedly, it was stress-related.  A friend of mine was in a horrible accident, which had me worried for a couple days, but he's doing really great now, thankfully! I ate well for two days, tracked it all (lost the scraps of paper I wrote everything on, ha), but that was followed by two days of horrible eating. I promise myself to get in a better habit of making time to track my journey.

Monday Weigh In: 215.4 lbs

Breakfast: Banana, apple, 15 oz water, 12 oz coffee with 3 tbs hazelnut CoffeeMate and a Splenda packet

Lunch: Pack of mini crunch donuts

Activity: 10 sit-ups

Dinner: White Bean and Garlic Stew, 15 oz water

Thoughts: I shouldn't have skipped lunch for a pack of donuts, in fact that was where I needed to have my salad. I just really got into my Eat to Live book, could not put it down! I'm trying to soak up all the facts and get a head start on slowly adding some good stuff into my daily foods. The weigh in doesn't bug me at all, this change is happening no matter what, and I know for a fact I'll see results. Loved Susan V's stew tonight, the only thing I omitted was the parsley just because I didn't have it, and I added cayenne pepper because I love everything spicy. I know the coffee's gotta go soon, so I'm just sorta enjoying my last few days of vices. As soon as I'm done with the book is when I'd like to commit to the program. So excited!

I really need to remember to measure myself as well as record every time I do something active. The short stint of sit-ups looks funny.. My intention was to do ten at a time a few times through the day and I totally forgot. I should probably do 20 at a time since it's hard for me to remember. I hope Dr. Fuhrman covers cardio and weight resistance techniques in the book, I'm pretty sure as athletic as he is that he's got some tips and pointers.
