The Body Cleanse is going well, although I slipped last night. I really shouldn’t have had pizza (Bertucci’s Carmine and Margherita, plus rolls, in case you were wondering). I thought it would be alright if I kept it to a couple of small slices, but it wasn’t alright. I ended up feeling really anxious on my way home (tell-tale sign of junk food overdose). I gotta be more careful with what I eat. For realz.
Yesterday, my good work friend, alias Enrique Montoya, took me on a little tour of Shaws after lunch to scout for healthy snacks. You see, Enrique is a full blown vegetarian who knows everything about healthy eating, so I recruited his help to solve the $64K Question: what to eat before I go to the gym so that I’m not starving while I work out?
The options he gave me were fruit, light cheese, wheat crackers, yogurt, healthy English muffins (Thomas’ BetterStart Light Multi-Grain) and peanut butter (Jif Reduced Fat Creamy). I opted for the last two. I had 1 English muffin, easy on the PB, at around 3:30pm (when hunger struck) and I went swimming at 6pm – not hungry at all!
Which leads me to my next point: swimming was great! But I don’t know how much of a workout I actually got. I didn’t know what to do, or for how long, or whether I was doing enough of it. I think I have a better idea for what to do next time 🙂 (which will be Thursday).
School begins tonight. I only know 1 person in tonight’s class (someone I like), and 1 person in tomorrow night’s class (someone I don’t particularly care for). Should be interesting.
Wish me luck,
