Challenge: New Recipes

I am already tired of eating like a rabbit. I have eaten so much lettuce, carrotts, broccoli and cauliflower for the last 3 days, I don't know what to do! I did have a very nice dinner of pan fried tilapia, brown rice and veggies for dinner last night. It was quite delish. I haven't had time to find any new recipes but that is going to by my mission tonight, after the gym of course. In fact, for the next month, I am going to challenge myself to try at least one healthy new recipe per week. I think that's manageable.

I also decided this morning that I am not a morning person and no way can I get up at 5:30am to go to the gym. I am gonna have to force myself to go after work, no matter how stressful my day was. Yea, I'm gonna need a lot of push, encouragement, and motivation for that one.

Although it's only been 3 days since this new lifestyle change, I already feel better. I ate way too much on the cruise and I think my body was giving me hell because of it. I feel lighter now and not as bloated so my clothes look better. The last couple days of the cruise I looked and felt like a stuffed pig.

I forgot to take my measurements Sunday morning but I will definitely do it by the end of the week and put it in a post. I am very proud of myself for not overeating at the pary. I only had 2 small drinks and 1 plate of food that I didn't pile up. I was very tempted to eat more because the food was delicious but I had to consider my long term goal and not temporary desires. When I got home though, I was starving and I ate, wait for it, wait for it...... an apple. Womp Womp.

I am gonna get back to work now. My first day back hasn't been terrible. Thank the man above for that one. Until next time...
