I always celebrate holidays with food. This includes the traditional summer holidays of Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. I'm struggling with concepts and thoughts on how to make these days healthier for me. I'm terrified of eating somewhere other than home. Or without nutritional facts. I'm afraid I'll fall right into the ignorance of thinking things are healthy when they are not.
Luckily summer holidays are begging for lighter dishes that aren't so rich if I can just avoid the caloric downfall of the hamburger or hotdog. I think when I get closer to the holy trinity of rich holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) I'll really need to work hard on making things I love less fatty and unhealthy.
The diet has been going strong for one week and three days. The transition was smooth. I almost impressed myself. I gave up soda, butter, most of my refined sugar... Everything that I associated with obesity and overweightness is mostly gone. I walk by cookies at the market and don't even want them.
Workouts have been stalled since I was a little overzealous with my first kettlebell workout at home. My thighs are a little strained. So just walking and jogging for now.
