Had a pretty good day, especially from a trying to eat healthy standpoint. I managed to go all day and not eat any grains, which is probably a first, like ever. I started with 3 eggs, string cheese and coffee for breakfast. Another very large BBQ'd chicken breast for lunch, a V8 as a snack when I got home with another string cheese. For dinner it was sesame seed crusted ahi tuna, with sauteed bananas and walnuts and a mixed green salad with raspberry balsamic vinaigrette mushrooms carrots shallots and feta cheese. As a small desert about a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips, and a beer. So overall a good day, especially somehow not having any starchy carbs.
Motivation is also something that is hard to maintain, no matter what you are challenging yourself with. One thing that I know keeps my energy up and allows me to focus better is music. I try to always have some on, although at work that is difficult to because of internet restrictions and questionable cell phone reception. I made a playlist on Youtube today that is a bunch of songs that either remind me of friends, or just times earlier in my life. It is not a complete list, but it was a good start from what I could think of today. If you are interested here is the playlist.
Tomorrow I am going to try and make it a Paleo Pthursday. Ya corny, but whatever. Paleo is a diet popularized by crossfit aficionados that focuses on foods that were available to paleolithic man. Nuts, fruit, meat, veggies, and that is about it. No grain, no dairy a hunter gatherer type diet if you will. I Have the book and have tried recipes out of it before, but I find it hard to change completely over to it, so for now, I will try one day a week. Here is a link to the paleo diet website for more information on that.
Tomorrow should be another busy day, and hopefully I can keep up with the goals and plans I am putting forth. Have a good night.
I'm just sayin...
