Day 3 triumphs and tragedies.....

I am probably exaggerating with the 'triumphs and tragedies' title-perhaps I need the attention?

My Triumphs thus far:

-I have a lot more energy
-I feel 'lighter'-walking for miles doesn't wind me like it used to
-The food is good and I really enjoy cooking different and 'new' meals
-I have found an awesome grocery store where I can buy 85% of the ingredients I need to make my food

My Tragedies:
-GAS o-m-g am I bloated!
-I feel like there has been an abundance of 'meat' commercials on TV
-Restaurant choices are limited
-Sometimes, I miss meat

In other happenings, I completed my Wii Fit strength routine (medium difficulty). It was difficult. At 8:00pm, I will be doing another 30 minute yoga routine. I feel like its only right to get in an hour of exercise every day. This is in addition to the 2 miles I logged completing various errands around the city.

I am looking forward to trying 2 new 'protein' type foods:

tempeh
seitan

Has anyone out there worked with these and if so, in what way and in what dish?

Day 2....almost through

So I wonder how long it will take me to 'learn' to sleep in? Having recently earned the title of 'unemployed' (by choice though), I thought for sure sleeping would be the best/easiest thing for me to conquer these days. For some reason, I haven't been able to sleep past 7am....

Thankfully I had a loooong list of errands/tasks to be completed today. I can say that they have been accomplished!

As far as the Kind Diet, I did very well today! I had a nice bowl of Mom's Granola for breakfast, an Amy's veggie burger for lunch, a peanut butter cup, and for dinner, sweet potato lentil stew, and Sicilian Collard greens with toasted pine nuts and raisins....it was SOOOOO good. I have pictures, and will be posting them tomorrow. I feel like I ate too much. I am really suprised at how delicious this food really is. Looking forward to the future-hoping that I continue feeling this way (good, that is).

Exercise... 30minute wii fit weight loss routine medium difficulty. I have an inkling this is going to be one of those I-am-going-to-feel-this-later workouts. It was challenging but not impossible. Hoping to work up to an hour a day on the Wii by the end of this month.

*one thing I must mention.....I weighed myself today on my trusty digital scale and came up with 142. Note: do not weigh yourself in a store that sells scales. Bad idea.
