One thing I've noticed about the past few days is the lack of vegetables. I've eaten some, but they haven't been the primary source of nutrition that I want them to be. That needs to change. I also need to be more militant about exercise. The problem there is that it is not yet a habit. I have the most difficulty pushing myself to get out of bed and be active. More than anything, I think that step is crucial to my success.
Things I am proud of myself for:
* consistently tracking my dad-to-day progress and failures
* not eating more cake and ice cream than I did last night and also avoiding it this morning!
What have I eaten today?
Breakfast:
1/3 cup plain fat free yogurt - 80
2 tbsp milled flax seed - 70
< 1/4 cup Kashi Heart Health cereal - 30
1 cup fat free milk in coffee - 90
lunch:
1 peach
1 whole wheat English muffin
evening:
broccoli
cabbage
tea (with cream and sugar, unfortunately)
night:
*sigh*
cake
cheese
crackers
peanut butter
and mixed vegetables!
Another bad idea: What if I put off calorie counting for phase 1 and focus on what I eat instead? I can go uber-health-nut and try a raw diet.
