Day 8

Taking a daily picture of yourself seems weird. I understand the idea of tracking and measuring your progress. But I’m not neccesarily doing this for aesthetic reasons more to kick start getting in shape. I also feel like a weekly picture would be a good snapshot and you might see the changes more then.

I’ll do it because that’s the expectation. And since it’s my first time doing it, maybe I’ll be surprised!

Day 7

We chose the Mediterranean Diet. Not for any specific reason. But it turns out that the basic diet is fairly flexible and includes a wide range of food with a relatively small list of things to avoid. Primarily sugar, processed foods and sweets. And one should also refrain from eating more than a few servings of red meat a month. But looking through some cookbooks many staples of our diet were included. Except for macaroni and cheese!!

Here is one of the cookbooks we currently are using!

Day 6

Today was my first day back to work after winter break. And also the first day of doing 75 Hard while working. I fell behind on the water consumption. Don’t worry, I got the gallon done. It was also hard as people brought snacks to share and they were everywhere!
