Today.

Ok today is the first day and things went quiet well.
I went into the exercise class and wow I could not help but admire the instructor. She looks like she is in her fourties but she is well ripped. Not in a body builder way but in a lean mean zero body fat fashion. You can actually isolate all her major muscle groups by sight. Seriously. I think she is a good specimen for a human anatomy class. Because everything is just set. She told us that she is 5f 11in and 145lbs and has had her weight fluctuate all her life.
So today we took body measurements. Arms, legs, hips and all. We did some stress tests and endurance tests and all. And I did so poorly. I cant even do two pressups. Anyways the yorubas have a saying that anytime that you wake up is your morning. So I have woken up and this is my morning. Ave gatta get active and healthy and wise.

So let me tell you what I ate today. For breakfast I had a cup of honey bunches of oats cereal and half a cup of nonfat milk. I prefer to have oatmeal because it is healthier but I ran out of it. Pls remind me to go get some more oatmeal. After my exercise class I over did it with two fried eggs sandwiches. Before you crucify me let me explain. I cooked the stuff my self and there was almost no oil. However its not good enough. I should have had a salad instead. But I was in class and lecture was going on and I was to have a test. So no time to scurry to subways for a turkey breast sub. Well I calculated the calories in the sandwich and it turns out to be 500.ahhhhhh. I had a hand full of almonds and then some ground nut. Then I splurged by drinking garri with groundnut but using sugar substitute instead of the real deal. I then enjoyed three pieces of lean chicken and two chicken franks totalling 100 calories. I have tried to keep to the diet today. The only place I went wrong is that I did not replace one meal with a salad. I hope to implement that tommorrow.

My exercise teacher talked to us about healthy eating today. Her advice was run away from sugar and careful with sugar substitutes. If you wanna gain weight drink fruit juices. If you want to lose weight eat vegetables. Careful with what you eat when you exercise. Some people overeat because they feel they have burnt calories. Drink water. It should be your beverage of choice. Avoid white bread, proccessed foods, saturated fats and oversized portions.

Tommorrow is a better day. I plan to put these things into action.
I forgot to add that I stopped one bustop before my real stop and walked home. Imoteda I kept my own part of the deal. I hope you kept yours.

We have been promised one hour of intense cardio tommorrow morning. So I will go to sleep shortly and get ready to make my heart happy. Wish me well.

Tommorrow I will tell you about my medical mystery.
