Week One...

The first few days on my journey to healthy living was confusing and tiring. There are so many diets, detoxes and food choices I had no idea where to start!

I decided to go straight down to basics. Salad with raw veggies and lemon juice, plain oatmeal, egg whites and flat bread. That pretty much sum's up what I ate in a day. after three days of this I went to my usual workout spot and spoke with the owner who know's a lot about healthy eating. To my dismay I found out that I was pretty much starving myself.

The Zone

After the conversation I had with my, "food guru" let's call him, I decided to try the zone. In a nutshell this diet is more of a healthy lifestyle choice that consists of equal :block: portions of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. http://www.zonediet.com/
I combined high intensity workouts with my diet, 2 times a week at Crossfit Colosseum. http://www.crossfit.com/ (later I will begin to document my workouts along with my progress)

This was starting to prove successful. I weighed myself and discovered I had lost 5lbs of weight already. Wohoo for me. However, circumstances should not be forgiving, for I had 2, yes you read that right, 2 chicken burgers with all the fixings at a birthday BBQ. After spending one week on the straight and narrow, I was starting to feel better, I was seeing results, yet I sabotaged myself. I didn't stop there, I had cookies for dessert, and when I had gotten home I just couldn't stop myself and devoured some cheesie's to flush it all down, the beer was Delicious also might I add.

So here I am, back to square one, and starting my one month once again from scratch. I CAN do this.

Diagnosis: Bust
Progress : None
