Day 15

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
