Blog Day 6
Today’s Date: July 16, 2011
The weekends are blessings and curses. I have more time on weekends with which I can fill with exercise, but I also have always seen weekends as a short-term vacation; you try and go do and see everything that you can see before the week comes back. I have also been working on publishing my book, so that consumes a lot of time… but it’s one of those “once it’s done, it’s done; I won’t have to keep working on it forever.”
I did get to work out this morning, and I’m still trying not to over work. I am trying to keep a good balance and not get frustrated. I watched a documentary on juice fasts that was very inspiring and eye opening. I hesitate doing it not because I think it’s a fad diet; far from it. I had concerns about metabolism and colon issues. I work in the medical field and see a lot of issues with colons… so I’d like to do some research before I commit.
I have a physical in a few weeks. I’d love to see if I can get my cholesterol and sugars down before that appointment, and maybe that would be a great way to do it… I don’t know. I am intrigued I will say that for sure!
On one final note: I did find a way to tweak my foods to eliminate a lot of cholesterol and fat. I usually eat 2 egg whited and 1 egg. At first I was making cheese or shrimp and cheese omlets. Then I cut it back to just eggs. Today I fixed just egg whites (I know, nasty, right?!?!) but topped it with a little bit of spaghetti sauce. It was like an herb tomato top, and it added flavor to flavorless eggs. Nutrient-wise it was a great discovery!
