Have a great day, a great beginning and remember to take your vitamins and drink lots of fluid.
I am in for the challenge, but i will post weekly.
eats:
My diet is pretty much the same every day - low carbs, low sugar, 6-7 meals a day, mostly proteins and veggies. Some nuts.
exercise:
I want to start more scheduled and structure exercise.
Weight:
I am pretty much OK where I am but if I lose up to 10 lbs - that will be fine too.
The main goal:
is to be Fit, Happy and Healthy.
To me that means that I need to stay away from sugar and starches (and it is not as easy as it sounds)
I need to stay away from wine, diet soft drinks, and things like that.
Make sure I take my vitamins and minerals.
When I stay away from carbs is is easier not to have them, but it is not easy. Every day is a struggle. Evenings are the worst, when I really would like to have some fruits or some wine.
today eats and cardio:
coffee + almond milk
protein shake (egg white proteins + almond milk)
peanuts
beef roast + pickle
beef roast
1/2 salmon burger with veggies
LNS: cheese + sausage.
exercise: walk - 4 miles.

I know... the magic weight...
On my vacation trip I spent some time watching people. I saw some really thin and very unattractive people and some more "round" ( still average - fit - size 10-16) very attractive people.
That made me think and realized what I really want. And I want to be happy - and active. That also may mean that I may need to stay at my current weight and size.
The "very thin" people I saw - not counting teenagers - the thinner the person - the more unhealthy they looked. Fragile, unhappy. While more "robust" people look more in charge and happy, chubby checks, bubbly personality.
At my current weight and size - I can eat as much as I want (the good for me foods) and not worry about calories (when I stay away from carbs). I have good life, energy, good sex life.
Sometimes when we try to strive for the number on the scale - we forget what is that we are really after. (I know I do).
