Happy February!

Hi Veggies! Happy February!

Today is the 1st, and the 1st day of my daily log. I am so proud of myself today, because I adhered to my diet.
Today I started off with a workout after drinking about 500 ML of water. It worked out well! I used the stair climber and treadmill for forty minutes. Interval training, like always. I worked out my quads with the knee extension machine and seated leg press.
By the time I finished up at the gym ... and my son and I got home, it was already 1130, but I still felt okay! Working out on an empty stomach was great. I felt like I had more energy.

First thing: Unsweetened soymilk w/espresso sprinkled with cinnamon :-) --- pre workout
Brunch: Strawberry/banana/date shake (I know I said I wasn't going to mix nanas and strawberries, but it's what I have in the fridge!)
Snack: V8
Lunch: Strawberry/banana/date shake
Dinner: Salad: Butter lettuce, cucumber, grapes, apples, celery with avocado/herb/lemon/date dressing
Snack: Orange

That may not seem like a lot, but both shakes together were over 2 liters! Over the course of the day I took in about 2000 calories (85% carbs 9% fats 6% protein). You also may notice I drank a V8 today, and this is because I am on a medicine which actually induces hyponatremia (or low sodium!), thus my doctor ordered me to drink V8 once a day since my diet contributes VERY little sodium.
As I reported earlier, I will continue to take a multivitamin, and vitamin D. My doctor also recommended 15 minutes of sun three times a week because taking the supplement ALONE, will not replenish my stores. We need the sun's energy to activate vitamin D!
I actually have quite a bit on my mind today about emotional eating, and body image acceptance. But --- I will save this for another day.
I am trying to make a practice of going to bed early, and waking my son up earlier, so we can all sleep well though the night. He recently developed a practice of waking up at 3AM singing at the top of his lungs for an hour before falling back asleep!

As always,

Peace & Love
