Week two is in the books!! I had a good Monday. I walked 6.2 miles with a 17:22 pace, which I am comfortable with at this time. I also did ok with my nutrition. I guess I need to explain why I am calling what I eat my nutrition instead of my diet. I want to make my eating a lifestyle. I do not want to think of it as a diet, because I plan on continuing this style of eating the rest of my life. I know I will have those days when I blow it, but that is ok, because tomorrow I will get back up on my horse and try again! I spent so many years trying to diet and having no-no's about certain foods. All I did was make myself frustrated and angry at all those people who could eat whatever they wanted when I could not. And then I would eventually eat what I craved and then ate more, and more. You get the idea. I no longer have this long list of taboo foods. If I start to crave something, I eat a bite or two of it and continue on my way. The longer I eat more fruits and vegetables, the easier it is becoming to say no to over-eating. A lot of the time I find myself not even wanting the fattening foods I used to eat all the time.
That's all for now folks,
Lefty
