Today saw more pep in my step, although I am pushing against the limits of the goals I have set for myself. To wit, I ate: -A bowl of grape nuts with chia seeds, flax seeds, cashews, almonds, honey, and 2% milk. -A large, lightly dressed salad of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and parmesan cheese; a portion of carrots and zucchini; a half portion of rice pilaf; and a half portion of chicken in some kind of cream sauce. -a breath mint. -a small golden mango. -a banana. -two hard-boiled eggs doused in Tabasco sauce. -a kombucha. -two portions of cod with garlic, lime, chilies, cilantro, and a squirt of fish sauce. -a handful of raspberries. -one of those little red waxy single-serve gouda wheels. -three cups of coffee. -ten glasses of water. -men's multivitamin I biked 30 minutes at high intensity. I'm guessing I fucked up on salt, and I had more animal protein than is probably warranted. But I felt pretty good about myself and managed to not be a mopey, brain dead sad boy. This was the first time I had food prepared by someone else (work lunch) since I decided to unfuck myself, and I kinda knew it'd be much saltier and richer than the food I am making for myself. But for substantial compliance, I'll take it. I'm starting to feel the extra energy creeping in. I'm also BMing like some sort of butthole genius. I am not sure whether this is gonna produce the intended effect of losing weight and lowering my blood pressure. But then, the day before I started all this, I ate a heroic quantum of Totino's pizza rolls for dinner and followed it up with more pizza rolls for dessert, so my room for improvement is substantial.
