For about three weeks now I have been on a health kick. Well, not really a huge one, but I have been making different choices here and there. I buy my own groceries now (more fruits and veggies). I have eliminated eating white rice completely, planning to delve into buying brown rice soon, maybe next week. I also keep a daily food journal to keep track of calories.
The biggest step I have done so far is I have been trying to exercise at least 4 days a week, about an hour a day. Those who are close to me know how big a deal this is because I’m probably the most unsporty (if that’s even a word) person on this side of the Earth, And I really don’t like to sweat, so exercise is a huge, huge step. Haha. J
Despite all the health stuff, I still have a few sweet treats here and there, just to satisfy the cravings. I’d probably go crazy and give it all up if not for my treats. Although I try to keep the portions controlled and I try to make smarter decisions as well. (no to ice cream!)
I haven’t lost as much weight as I would like to have lost but at least I’m taking the steps. I started this whole health thing initially to lose weight but as each week passes, the objective seems to change as well, which I think is good.
I give myself little goals just to track my progress. Two weeks ago my goal was to eliminate rice, which I was successful in (thank God!). I lived on whole wheat bread and kamote and boiled saba and lettuce, lots and lots of lettuce. Hahaha. I would still eat ulam but I avoided the rice. It wasn’t that hard cause I’m not really a rice person. 3 weeks no rice and counting. Feels great. J
This week my goal is to eliminate red meat and try to stick with chicken and fish. Unlike the rice goal, which was easy peasy, this no red meat thing is hell, seriously. I live for pork. I love everything pork. Beef not so much, but I really really miss my porky pork. Sigh. L Crossing my fingers I’ll last until Sunday, but so far so good. :)
wish me luck everyone! :)
