Day 15

I fell of the wagon big time with the holiday. That was to be expected, somewhat. I missed taking my vitamins Friday-Monday, but today I did! I also took a calcium supplement.

I feel like I did really well with Thanksgiving - I managed to keep my portion sizes small. I tend to avoid low fat/fat free/whatever diet stuff, so I'm trying to be conscious of my portion sizes instead.

I did a lot of reading yesterday on the paleo diet. While I can see their logic train re:evolution - I just don't want to give up my carbs and grains. COLD DEAD HANDS. But, I may make a more conscious effort to get more veggies into my diet, and dial back the carbs and grains a little.

I had 20 oz of soda over the course of Friday and Saturday, and I had a glass of RC cola last night. I heart my RC cola - but man, I gotta lay off for a while now. Last night was also pizza - alfredo pizza with grilled chicken and spinach. It is seriously the best pizza evar. I think it will also be lunch today, since I still have a few pieces left.

I did a lot of walking over the past few days, and soon I'll be diving into a program of running, fighting with kettle bells, etc. I'm so crazy out of shape, we'll see how long it takes before I totally hate life. I went running shoe shopping for a short bit on Sunday - realized I know so very little about tennis shoes. I've been wearing flats or chucks for over 10 years now :P I can't think of the last pair of for-realz trainers I ever owned. I have high arches, and I can't sort out how shoes are even supposed to fit. It will be an adventure, I'm sure.

There's a running shop downtown I'm gonna check out, as well as one in Clear Lake - between the two of them, I should be able to sort something out.
