It sounded like a good title.
Hi, I know it's been like over a year since I updated, and I'm sorry. I have not been very good about eating well over the past few months, and as a consequence of that, I've gained about 20 pounds. :(
I want to start eating well again. I want to feel healthy because I'm putting good food into my body. I don't want to feel dizzy because I am eating wheat.
I've been inspired by some people on Facebook who are super fit, and I want to be able to do that too. So I've written some stuff down about what I want to change in the next few months in terms of eating and exercising.
Eating:
Here are some things I will do with my diet:
- No wheat (NO PIZZA, no spaghetti, etc.) [This is a hard one for me because even though it makes me feel awful, I still eat it because this stuff tastes good.]
-Only eat rice at restaurants, or I can allow myself a 1/2 cup cooked at home [I usually only eat rice at Moe's, so it wouldn't be that often anyway (or only like twice a week).]
-Try to limit Chinese food. [It makes me dizzy and gives me a headache and stomachache.]
-Have some veggies at least once a day. [I have been bad about eating vegetables. I can't remember what veggie I ate last!]
>Make meals for the week on the weekend so I don't have to cook when I come home for lunch. [I usually only have 20 minutes to eat at home so I don't want to waste any of that cooking]
>Have a protein shake in the morning and don't eat until lunch. [This may be a bit tricky because I had been making them with Hershey's syrup and peanut butter, but I'm going to try to make it healthier by using cocoa powder. Maybe a sub for the peanut butter.]
Fitness:
-Do as many pushups, sit-ups, and squats as I want. [I can't do that many, so I'm just going to do as many as I feel comfortable doing while keeping my form]
-Maybe add in walking or sprinting a little while later.
I am going to try to write about it as much as possible on this blog and post to Facebook whenever I do, but don't count on it being often.
Be excellent to each other,
Sam.
