Ready, clean and Garmined

So for how long have I been trying this again? For a while!, I'm going to sound like a broken record with all my dreams and wishes to become this amazing athlete and getting in the wonderful shape I want to be, it's not going to happen unless I make it happen.

About 8 weeks ago, maybe a bit more, I decided to not diet, or do this drastic change in diet, but to start looking at food in a FUEL way, either you're good or bad fuel for my engine, period!

PLANNING MEALS

The key to succeed it's to have a plan.... if I plan my meals, I can take over the world! No kidding, watch out!

What I have done and still do: 

No red meats, no mean carbs (like the ones that make me sick:pizza, white bread, tortillas, baked goods), no excessive sugars, I still have my hershey kisses at night and an occasional bite of lemon cake at work lol, I eat lots of oatmeal, cereal, kale, fish, sweet potatoes, egg whites and avocado almost every day.

Results: I have felt wonderful! Seriously great! I sleep like a baby, I'm (surprisingly) in a better mood, my skin looks better and I've managed to exercise without pain pills for almost 3 months. Oh yeah, 12lbs gone =)

So now that I might finally have this food fuel down I'll be able to move forward on my workouts, to start I got my Garmin Forerunner 920, yes, it was necessary, I just won't look bad ass if I don't have it LOL, not seriously it was totally worth it, WHY? Because I'm not training to log miles, I need to start listening to my body, my heart rate zones, my form, I want to know my body and its reactions, I want to know how far can I push and this amazing all in one watch is helping with that.

Are you ready? Because I am!!
