A Much Better Day

Day 3 -

375.4 lbs – 4.7 Pounds Lost

Well I have made it to day 3.   I have eaten more vegetables and fruits in the last three days than I think I have in my entire life.  And guess what?  I haven't died.

Today has been a much better day.  I was so miserable yesterday.  I was so hungry. The vegetable juices with Kale are still pretty nasty, but I am sure it is an acquired taste, and hopefully I acquire it soon, or it's gonna be a long miserable juice fest.

I woke up this morning and was really energized.  Was that because of all these cotton-pickin' vegetable and fruits I am consuming, or was it because I slept till almost 8:30, who knows.  But I did feel like I had more energy this morning.

Maybe if things are the same in the morning I will go for a walk and start getting some activity under my belt.  I bought a "Striiv Play" from Best Buy while it was on sale for Father's Day.  It is essentially a pedometer on steroid with bells and whistles that connects to my iPhone via BlueTooth.  Since I got it, my average daily number of steps has been 2,100.  For health's sake, I should be getting at least 10,000 steps a day.  Since I work at home, the majority of the walking I do is between my office and the bathroom, so 2,100 is not terribly bad, but if I am able to get further it can only make things better.  What's even cooler is that it allows you to "friend" other users (much like Facebook) and then have "races" and compete about steps, distance, etc.
