Day 176

So tomorrow begins a 40-day challenge with myself to only eat meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and vegetables.  I'm gonna say that oil, vinegar, mustard, coconut aminos, and tea are alright too.  I've been reading for about 2 years now that eating this way is supposed to "reset" your body and make you feel great.  Or something like that.  I want to find out.  Now is the perfect time.  It's summer.  Magic things have happened in the summer before.  This will be difficult, but I've done difficult things before.  Some have taken 4-5 years.  This is only 40 days.  Let's make it happen.

Day 175

I ate alright.  I rowed.  This heat is making me feel exhausted.  I could go to sleep now...and I might.

Day 174

I rowed a ton today.  The first full day back home went well.  I went out to lunch with a friend.  I had a slurpee and a chocolate raspberry brownie.  Yum all the way around.  I took a nice long nap this afternoon.  Headed to a midnight workout pretty soon.  Should be interesting.

Skip a lot of days....Day 173

Umm, I ate ok on vacation until I self-imploded today waiting at the airport in detroit.  Not good.  Oh well, now I'm home.  "Back to reality."

Day 172

I rowed a lot today.  I had lettuce wraps twice.  I'm still in "bar" mode til I get back.  I was done packing my main carry-on bag pretty early in the day which was nice.  I'm a bit stressed getting to meet my brother's future in-laws.  I know they're awesome people.  This should be fun.  I just need to get there...and realize that life is not a competition...it's an opportunity.

Day 171

I ate lunch at Rubio's with a friend.  They have a pretty good grilled chicken with roasted vegetables and balsamic dressing salad.  I ate bars most of the rest of the day.  I bought food last night but my heart wasn't in it to cook today.  Oh well.  Tomorrow is another day...obviously.  Ha.  I rowed 8000m this morning and 3000m tonight.  I'm ahead of schedule!

Days 165 - 170

It didn't go too badly in Yosemite eating-wise.  I ate a ton of Kind bars and Think Thin bars...but I lost weight while I was gone.  Strange.  I also really enjoyed a soft-serve swirl ice cream cone at the Yosemite Village and a Haagen Dazs bar at Glacier Point.  So tired...what's new.
