Day 3 - Staying True

Quick recap today so I can go to bed!

I noticed over the years that I have a hard time asserting my own health interests when certain situations arise. For example, one brother will want to go out for a drink, and not only do we end up drinking but I chose poor foods to eat. Today was one of those days. My uncle wanted to go for lunch and I said yes. Instead of choosing a healthy meal I just went with what he had: fish and chips. Since weight is a component of this training, I have been trying to make a conscious effort to stay away from the deep fried food and away from all types of potatoes. For the most part I have been successful but I need more self will to deny myself crappy foods and a realization that I didn't need to order that - it was just a habit and I didn't really thing about my chooses.

Instead of a potato, I have been trying to eat yams instead (~1/2 a day) and I want to try to eat Quinoa. I have never had it before!

I had a decent work out at the pool (inlcuded a short run) followed by a swim. Again, the friend I was swimming with really showed me how much I need to improve!

Weight 192.

Goal: stay true to myself, consciously decide what I am going to eat and make the right decisions!

P.S. Get between 6-8 hours sleep every day!
