First fitness, second day of new eating choices, 4 days sober.

Today was a good day, it's not quite over but I do believe it will continue. It was also a challenging day, though I feel proud of all my achievements and choices. Good job Tigey! In our cd alarm clock we have the cd from a renowned Buddhist named Tich Nhat Hann. It gongs a few times and then in his soft whisper of a voice he begins to lecture on love. This, does not wake me up! This is challenge numero uno. The alarm went off I got up, reset the alarm and went back to the bed. Then the thoughts came pouring in like "but you are supposed to get up to exercise" "get up!" "who are you accountable?" as I snuggled in closer to my girl an eye popped open, and from there I fought sleep till I knew both Rose and I were awakening. Bam now I just got to get on my work out clothes and get out the door. After making coffee for Rose, Grammy, and myself we left for our 30 minute walk/jog with a5 min warm up and 5 min cool down. We actually ended up doing 51 mins total. 20 minutes of it was spent running in 10 minute intervals. We came home endorphins pulsating through us drank large amounts of water, headed to the back yard and did our circuits.It was a challenging work out we fallowed from the plan to the letter. I'm already burning and sore in many areas but it feels good and my body is glad to have released all the things pent up from lack of exercise. It has been roughly 4 months since Rose and I quit the gym and working out regularly and yet I am amazed at how much strength and stamina we both have still. I was especially proud of my Rose who pulled through the workout with a positive and confident attitude about the whole event. Good job baby!

I have maintain 98% true to my preparation diet. It has been difficult though and several times I have longed for bread or cheese. And I have had moments of concern wondering what I shall feel like when I am only drinking juices. However eating this way feels good and I am not weighed down or over fed, no bloating, no discomfort. I have drank mucho aqua and am peeing continuously. Oh I did have a second cup a coffee this morning it's just such a delicious warm drink however tomorrow I will drink tea for the second cup.

I also started an ephedera free "natural" fat burner you are supposed to take two pills after breakfast and two after lunch so we started the lunch dose and both of us felt a nice boost of energy. I was quite productive doing all the laundry making lunch (salad with veggies and beans) and dinner (lentils potatoes and carrots).I also did all the dishes for the day, swept, mopped the floor, clean the stove, took out the trashes, took Grammy to get her hair done etc.

Mucho productivo!

On that note, I will have more tomarrow.
