I've been able to do fairly well on my RDI (except the first day!), and (except for today) I've been able to do some nice, daily exercise. Hopefully, either mid-week this week or starting next week, I can begin running training, which will help so much in getting in shape. I've done a little bit of running before, as an experament for about a week, fairly informally, and even doing that got impressive (to me) results, so I'm looking forward to doing it in a more disciplined manner.
I've been eating more salads lately - not every day, like I'd like to, but anyway I'm feeling better, more energetic... I'll weigh in again on Tuesday, but even if I haven't lost a single pound, I feel lighter and more healthy. I'm going to try to make it a habit to have a huge salad for lunch at least 5 days a week. It's surprisingly filling and you can eat all you want! And since it's so low in calories and has no fat, you can afford to put a little bit of fat (such as avocado or tofu based dressing) on it and not have to worry so much about it. I'm very happy!
Also, a fantastic book is the Engine 2 Diet. It has some delicious recipes in it and it's written in an understandable, encouraging manner that tells you the logic behind eating this way without bogging one down too much with jargon. It has, interspersed throughout, little fact-boxes and short stories about people who have succeeded in improving their health, fitness, and overall wellbeing with the diet.
I'm so psyched! :D
