High on all the good stuff
Eating healthier is definitely my biggest struggle right now. I am addicted to junk and unhealthy foods (Mostly CARBS!) I decided that I am going to start with tracking everything I put into my mouth, I am on a 1500 calorie a day diet but I’m going to try to stay at or around 1200. I am doing strength training 3 days a week and at least a half an hour of cardio every day. I’m doing it on my own, (well I’m using the Internets resources) because I don’t have the money for a gym membership let alone a personal trainer. One thing I am doing different is I’m mostly only drinking water. I have a 2 liter of soda but I only take one sip of it every morning because I hate taking pills and the carbonation of the soda makes it easier for me to take my vitamins in the morning. I hate the fact that health food is 10Xs more expensive than unhealthy food. It makes it so hard for people who really want to get healthy! I wish they would open a “McHealth” Like McDonalds but with health food, and they need to have a dollar menu too lol. Yesterday I had “my plan” well my plan didn’t really work but it didn’t necessarily fail either. I said I was going to take a pill and go to sleep and then wake up at 8. Well I did take the sleeping pill and I did go to sleep around 2 which wasn’t bad, it was a weird kind of sleep though. Like I felt half awake throughout the whole thing. Lately I’ve been having some really Fu*ked up dreams. Like not really nightmares, but they might as well be. Anyways back to my plan, so I didn’t wake up at 8 am but I did wake up at 10 am which is a helluva lot better then the 8 pm schedule I was on. I did my cardio and my strength training AND I ate 3 square meals! Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner! I am so proud of myself, normally I just eat little bits of crap food here and there, but not today, today I ate a full breakfast, a full lunch and a full dinner AND I stayed UNDER my calories, carbs, fat, and protein allowed for the day! Today was one of the better days ive had in a long time. I’m just happy, generally speaking. There’s a lot more I want to write about but a lot of it is stuff that I will end up stressing about and I don’t want to come down from this high just yet. Its to good.
