I feel like i ate a lot but I also burned a ton of calories today. I was lifting milk crates for 4 hours at work. My back is so sore! I also walked a total of 3.2 miles. I might go on a jog tonight. I haven't gone running in so long. It's hard to get motivated to restart the habit.

Today's breakfast was comprised of 2 mugs of hot cocoa sweetened with stevia and a cup of green tea. Lunch was 3 low fat, low sugar vegan whole wheat brownies and and 1/3 of a bowl of eat to live friendly corn chowder. Dinner was more corn chowder. For a snack at work I had too much chocolate :x

Exercise: uh, none really besides walking home from work. i'm getting lazy.

weigh in: 137.0

Today for breakfast I had a steamed yam with spices and a drizzle of olive oil along with a cup of green tea. Lunch was 2 stevia sweetened whole wheat brownies and a veggie bean stir fry over ramen along with hot cocoa. Dinner was low carb pasta with smart balance, garlic, fresh herbs and a side salad. And some decaf green tea.

Exercise included walking home from work and some planks. Eh, not much really.

Today for breakfast I had a huge bowl of cinnamon toast crunch with almond milk and a cup of white tea. Oh, and a spoonful of flax oil. Lunch was a pear and some redskin potato salad and mineral water. Dinner was a burrito filled with rice, beans, guacamole, salsa, and lettuce along with black coffee. I also had a few cookies, a lot of gum, hot cocoa, and a fair amount of brandy. Nutritious, eh?

Exercise consisted of a total of probably 4 miles of walking. Later I will do some push ups/squats/etc.

I'm trying to eat more healthily but it is hard if I have no way of keeping myself accountable, especially since I'm currently residing in an area where health and fitness aren't exactly emphasized. I also want to recommit to veganism. I have slipped into eating dairy once in a while which I am not proud of. Today, well, right now, I recommit to being free of animal products. The animals and the environment deserve it.

So, here I am going to log my workouts, my healthy eats, my challenges and triumphs, inspiration, and all that jazz. I'm not overweight but I want to get into better shape, get stronger ( in other words be able to do 10-15 push ups instead of barely 3), have more definition, more energy, and a lower body fat percentage, blah, blah, blah. Most importantly, working out and eating well contribute greatly to my sanity, something I cherish dearly. I've already lost like 9 or 10 lbs since I started trying to get into shape and eat better and I'd like to lose another 10-15 or so to get back to my pre-freshman 25 weight. 'Tis all.

Blogging again!

I've been inspired by October's upcoming Vegan Month of Food to mint a fresh new blog that I'm actually going to update on a very regular basis. I've relocated to Portland a few months ago so the vegan inspiration is all around. Fall is also around the corner and I find it to be an especially stimulating time of year for writing and such so I figured I'd get this established. I haven't decided what my theme for mofo is going to be but I will be musing on the subject.

Should I add anything else? Sure. I love blueberries.
