Chicken's Update

I have still been staying on points pretty much. Mind Sprite has inspired my (and William) to change the way that we are eating in general. We are going to make an effort to reduce and eliminate processed foods from our diet. This will be difficult especially because I eat a lot of frozen lunches at work. They don't really taste good and they don't make me feel good. I still need to count points but I want to combine the two ideas.

We will start out slowly because we can't afford to through out all of the "processed" food we have in the pantry. As we run out of items we will replace them with something that contains ingredients that are natural (can be recognized and pronounced).

We also have to start planning our meals better. I'm going to try to make larger meals so I can freeze the rest or have it for lunch. This will help eliminate the frozen lunch dilemma.

So I will log my food and count points. We won't be able to get super serious until I run out of lunches and we go grocery shopping.

William and I ran the Shamrock run and it was great. We both want to run more and eventually be able to run an 8k. I'm hoping to exercise a lot more now. The gym is closed for Spring Break and last week was finals so I haven't been lifting. I will be running tomorrow after work.

Chicken's Update

Well I have been eating well the last couple of days even with my mouth being messed up. I've stuck to organic soups and yogurt. I haven't been able to exercise because I haven't to rest for at least 48 hours after the procedure. I have been given the clear to do the Shamrock Run on Sunday. I know that it may be difficult but I'm going to try anyway.

Two Days for Mishka

Two days of being off track due to time contraints mostly. Yesterday we had a luncheon for my cultural group and it was just too hard to try to figure out the calories...fortunately it was all Japanese food and small portions so I am sure it was not too bad...

Tuesday, I will start logging again...already feeling better...probably mostly because I know I am doing something.
