Off to a great start

Last night was my first night popping a pill. I'm suppose to take a supplement before I go to bed and last night I took the diurcids. As I was researching the pill and the side effects I learned that one of the main ingredients within the pill is often used to treat depression. Weird I know but oh well. I took the pill and instantly went to sleep. I slept like a baby!!!! Thats not common for me. I dream crazy dreams every night. Last night I didnt dream about anything. It was just a peaceful sleep. I was in bed by 10 and knocked out. I slept a good 9 hours and woke up with so much energy. I dont know if the pill did all of this, I'm simply telling you about my day so far. I feel great!  I feel as if I could run a marathon. I've already washed clothes, fixed breakfast, written 2 blog posts, and washed dishes. I plan on taking advantage of this energy that I have.

For breakfast this morning I had Kashi cereal and non fat milk. 17 grams of protein thus far. The doctor that I went to yesterday was big on protein protein and more protein. I decided that I'm not doing her diet plan. It sucks. Tuna and egg whites? No ma'am. When I started back on this journey I promised myself that I would not diet...that I would just make better, healthier changes and I've done that. I'm not going to deprive myself and suffer. I'm not going to do it. Isnt that how/why many people fail at diets in the first place? I think I have done pretty good using myfitnesspal. I only eat 1200 calories a day and I limit myself to one cup...one cup of rice, one cup of cereal, one cup of veggies. I'm just not going to deprive myself. That defeats the purpose. The doc can be mad all she wants but hey, I PAY HER, she does not PAY ME. I did decide that I would decrease the sugar as much as possible. I already do not eat foods that have high fructose corn syrup in them but eliminating sugar period is hard. Sugar is in everything!!!! Yogurt, fruit, smoothies :/ I can limit...I can eliminate. I can add more protein too.

I'm off to get these 5 miles in early this morning. I got 5 in last night and up until mile 4 my body was hurting and burning. The vacation from exercising did not benefit me at all. 5 miles .... lets go!
