Wednesday, which you working people call Hump Day

Soooo its officially a week today that I walked out on my horrendous job. I can't say I am still as pleased now as I was then or that I am miserable....can I use the word melancholy here?

Anyway, did my 30 minutes of wii fit this morning. I have lost weight already and my BMI has decreased a little as well, although BMI is a joke of a measure to me. I have always had a more muscular frame and BMI doesn't take that into account.

As far as food, had some of the Mom's Granola (from the book) and then a veggie burger and collard greens for lunch. I know in between then I had a good handful of organic tortilla chips, 6 baby carrots and 2 tbsp hummous (organic). I also had a bowl of miso soup, and an apple. I just finished baking a mixed berry cheesecake (from the book as well) and probably won't eat it tonight as it is still hot!!

So I am trying not to beat myself up about all the 'challenges' (ahem) that I seem to be encountering at the moment. I only had one mini breakdown today but my status messages on various social networks and blackberry are indicative of one troubled soul. Just hope that I can try to look at the bigger picture...

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?
