Day 1 is Almost Over

So, I've just finished Day 1 of Dax Moy's 30lb in 30 Days Challenge and so far, so good, but I may need to start taking more showers. I did three workouts today. The first, this morning before breakfast, was pretty intense even though it did not last very long. I was deifinitely ready for my shower after that.

I did the second workout after work. Again, it wasn't a crazy long session, but I worked up a sweat again. I think I will be feeling all this in my muscles tomorrow.

The third workout was a nice prelude to sleep. On paper, it looks like a walk in the park, nothing too taxing, but once again I managed to work up quite a sweat. I'm pretty sure I will sleep well tonight.

I am glad to be following Dax's Elimination Diet. I already cut out caffeine and wheat last Thursday in hopeful anticipation of being chosen as one of the luck guinea pigs and today saw me add dairy (except live yogurt), sugar and alcohol to the list of things not allowed. I enjoyed the food today and felt good until I started getting a headache shortly after I left work. I'm guessing this is a detox headache, even though I have been eating pretty healthy, and is to be expected. It felt good to eat real food; simple, clean, real food - like homemade bean soup, boiled eggs, live Greek yogurt with berries and nuts, chicken breast and egg on a salad with olive oil and vinegar, and something new I haven't tried before; dandelion greens sauteed with garlic and olive oil.

I'm experimenting with new things I have not tried before and plan to try (or eat again) as many veggies A-Z that I can. Today, I bought eggplant - never had it before and those dandelion greens. I have already had lettuce, tomatoes and broccoli, so I'm off to a good start.

Well, it's late, so I'm heading off to bed. Another early day tomorow. Goodnight!
