Go, go, GO!

The diet has been interesting. I've only been tempted a few times to give in and eat something I'm not allowed to. It's such a drastic change for me and it's hard when there are delicous bags of cookies, chips, etc laying around. You never realize how many things have sugar in them. Like coffee for example. I can add Almond Milk, but no sugar. Speaking of Almond Milk- it's surprisingly delicious with Kashi Go Lean Crunch. (Full of fiber and naturally sweetened with honey- no high fructose corn syrup). I really like it. And this is coming from someone who really likes cereals made of pure sugar like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Coco Puffs. For lunch I had a salad filled with greens, legumes and lean protein. For dinner I had tofu stir fry. Every single thing I ate was different than something I would normally chose, and yet I made it through the day. Today was different. I struggled with the lunch salad. It just didn't sound appetizing. But I added a little taco seasoning and olive oil and gave it a southwest flair. (Remember, the salads have no dressing on them. But we are allowed seasonings, 2 Tbsp olive oil and lemon). For dinner tonight, I'm making Tofu "tacos". Diced Veggies and Tofu rolled in lettuce shells.
Yum, right? lol.

The workout was INTENSE. A couple times I thought I would puke or die. Maybe both. But I pushed through and just did the best I could. The running is the part that killed me. I've just never been a runner and all my extra lbs weren't helping. I'm very sore today and I've had a migraine all day.

My body seems to be screaming in protest. I almost cheated on the diet portion. But I have a wonderfully supportive husband to keep me on track :) I'm excited for tomorrow's workout!
