I've been tracking fairly regularly and eating more or less on schedule. There always seems to be a large gap between meals 2 and 3 or 3 and 4. Something to work on.
Hitting calories fairly accurately which is good. I really do end up eating what seems like a mountain of food when I work out, especially on days when I lift and run. It always makes me nervous to eat so much when I'm on a diet. I guess this is just the side-effect of being an obsessive neurotic who's now on a fat loss diet. I do like to eat, but usually don't eat as much as I'd like so this could work out well for me.
Exercising has proven to be a little more difficult. Even just typing the word is a pain in the ass. It took a ridiculous amount of time for me to spell it correctly. I really want there to be an extra C in it, I don't know why. I'm not exactly a stranger to exercise mind you, but being consistent is another thing. Until today things had been pretty fine, but today... I just DIDN'T WANT TO GO! I forced myself to go anyway, and it took me a ridiculous amount of time to complete everything, but I did finish. My energy was just sagging today for some reason.
If I had to guess why, I'd say it had something to do with dehydration, which admittedly I've been kinda crappy about. I barely drank anything today and let me tell you, it's been HOT here in the city. Like "where the hell did spring go" kinda hot. It's my own fault. I dug out my old nalgene from a kitchen cupboard but never washed it, so I've been carrying the damn thing around in my back pack empty for like 2 days. I deserve dehydration! Yeesh!
Obviously, I've been good so far about the blog part. I'd ideally like to make a post every evening, even if it's just a quick check in, but I know me... we'll see. For now though, so far so good. I find it very helpful so far recap past success and challenges. They all look much better on the screen than in my mind.
So one post and about half a week down! Until tomorrow...
