Day 1- Photos and update

I can't believe it! 2011 had been a crazy year, but the beginning of it was amazingly enjoyable, partly due to the London Personal Trainer Dax Moy's MAP challenge in January.

So starting of 2012 with a desire to clean up the holiday sugar running through my system, I announced to the family that I will be doing the ED again. I always announce it, because after 4 years, I know it is best to inform in ADVANCE of this change in diet, especially since my hubby eats differently than the rest of us. WELL!!! My hubby chimed in and said he wanted to come off the sugar and would be interested in doing it too.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! After doing the ED for 4 years? WOOHOO!!

Then I checked my e-mail and saw that the MAP was back again for 2012. YES!! NOOOOO!.....I could choose to do the ED with my hubby gradually (considering I was checking my mail late and behind on the start)....that is what I decided at first. But I wanted in on the MAP and start my year off as good as I did last year.

Since he is a cereal lover (not sure if he really loves it, or its because its been what he has always done, and his parents have done and why should he change??), eats wheat products in a house filled with Celiacs LOL and loves his sugar (admittedly so). He has many symptoms that I feel will lessen or diminish from being on the ED, so I am excited for his success and want him to succeed. I sent him the PDF and he said, "Just tell me what to eat." HMMMM! Well, that can work, but to ENJOY the ED and to apply it to your lifestyle, the background information laid out in the ED book makes a big difference. But for now, I will prepare the meals. It does make for extra work.

Also forgot to mention, that we, as a family, have been battling a virus for the last couple weeks. It affects our energy levels, comes with severe migraines, and is messing with my respiratory system (I'm all weezy). So I hope to start workouts with intensity soon.

Day 1 Workout

I did one circuit of meltdown outside of the track. I kept my own steady pace with the pushups and squats, stretched, drank water and went down for a nap.

Day 1 Food

Hubby made it through day 1!! He had eggs with spinach and a banana for breakfast. We did a stir fry for lunch and had turkey, broccoli and brown basmati rice for dinner (I skipped the rice as I wasn't too hungry).
