Well so far so good. . I guess. I started Monday with my fruits and veggie (and chicken) plan and I can definitely already feel a difference. It certainly hasn't been easy, by Tuesday evening I was about dying for some damn chips and cheese. I did have to tweak my plan a little because frankly, I was starving. (Ok, maybe not starving, but I was incredibly hungry the first two days). Yesterday I decided to incorporate quinoa into my plan. It's incredibly healthy for you and it gives my fruit and veggies a little more substance. When you work all day then work out at night, you just can't live and fruits and veggies alone. I'm keeping a food journal and will post some of the recipes I've come up with later but here's a list of things I've learned thus far:
-I do actually feel better when I eat healthier. . crazy concept
-I get a much better work out in when I eat something healthy before the gym instead of random junk food
-Produce does not last forever. . and it smells funny when it gets old
-I maybe don't despise cooking as much as I thought
-I suck at cutting up and cooking chicken
-It's a lot easier to clean up the kitchen at the end of the night then to wait till the next day. . or the day after that
-Most farmers markets are only open when I work
-I don't require nearly as much food to function as previously thought
I'll keep ya posted on any new revelations that come to me, and I'll post some of my recipes. I have, surprisingly enough, come up with a few good ones!
