Eat better, not more

A week, a month or a lifetime.Eating right is an endless project.

I have managed to start cooking for myself more regularly, drink less caffeine and to avoid drinking calories (biggest achievment of all of them).

Yet my weight has risen since the start of corona. I blame the absemce of physical activity as I used to walk quite a lot before, burning easily extra hundreds of calories per day and my eating habits were unhealthy, yet besides the sugars in drinks, I ate considerably less.

All is being fixed and soon enough, a new project focusing on the final leg of change will come.

A bit belated Week 1 update

With moderate success, I’ve managed to keep my soda consumption at bay. For breakfasts I mostly get some eggs with a bit of bread. Lunches have mostly been various salads. Dinners have been mainly various chicken dishes because of a major discount (50 % on a breast, so there’s a kilo in my freezer still). Today will be a nice pasta day, homemade sauce, rest will be frozen, maybe will make chicken parm during the week.

Plans for next week are to get more varied lunches and breakfasts. So some oatmeal is on the shopping list… eggs are great, but 30 days in a row might make me hate them. With the oatmeal, I might also get some nice cereal with enough fiber and probably some yoghurt instead of milk.For lunches, I’d like to cook something hot instead of just simple salads.

On sodas, I’ve been keeping them at bay, but there have been some energy drink moments.

As a sidenote an update on my sobriety - I made a pact to not get drunk for at least a year. Decided to allow myself one nice drink per week as that barely affects me from the alcohol standpoint, just want to enjoy a glass of quality product. For that one it will be 3 months on the 15th.

Day 1 (this project will have weekly updates to not clutter up the follow list too much, those will be more of a summary type with maybe some pictures of food etc.)

On the first day not progressing much as I managed to not watch the onions and they burned, so my breakfast was gone. Ate some light lunch and preparing to fry some chicken Schnitzels for dinner (they are quite fat heavy, but I’ll try to balance that with a side salad to get in more daily veggies).
