One of the things I have to remind myself is that this isn't about food...yet. Yes, I want to eat healthier too, but I'm already changing my routine and trying to add exercise as a part of it, plus I'm reducing salt. These are BIG things for me, and too many big changes at once will end up derailing me. It's too much to track and I end up frustrated. So, yes, I list the food I eat, but that's more to make me more aware than anything. The more aware I am, the easier I hope it will be to change when it does become about the food.


Accomplishments
half the warm-up for Tai-Chi Essentials. Yes, I'm pathetic, but I DID it.

Hub woke me up way too early and this usually tends to derail my day. Today I did end up waking up late, but we all got right back on track.

Had a little salt on my dinner, but the key word there is little. It was a lot less than usual, and I didn't add more later in the meal (I sometimes do that because the salt "goes away" as I eat).


Lunch Yesterday
A mess. Let's go with the 2 small cheese (only) quesadillas

Dinner Yesterday
Marie Calendar's Herb Roasted Chicken Frozen Dinner
A side of Stouffer's Mac & Cheese

Breakfast
Cereal
Small amount of fruit juice (I have to take it easy on the fruit--ulcer)


One thing I'm already noticing (yes, even after only 2 days) is that the days I exercise I seem more focused, more ready to face the day. Now I'm not 100% sure about this since yesterday was cloudy all day and I'm suspecting I have a little of that SAD disorder, but I was definitely more tired despite getting more sleep and it was a lot harder to focus on what I needed to do.

Since the SAD thing is a part of being healthy, I may just have to watch that and see if it holds true even if I exercise that day.
