It's a Beautiful Monday Morning


Just got back from yoga. I'm having my dinner for lunch and it's mahi mahi with spicy sweet sauce, brussel sprouts, and squash, yum! I put everything on the plate and it looks beautiful. I think the fresh diet is actually making it easier for my exercise to mean something - instead of coming home and eating a pop tart I'm eating delicious fresh food. I will keep you all updated on my progress. Later today I have a planned meal out so I'm planning on ordering something small and seeing how it goes.

Also, I have to confess, yesterday i cheated. Switching over to diet food only is tough and I had some desserts that shouldn't have been on the menu. So far, I'm good for today and I figure that moving on rather than dwelling on the past is the thing to do.

breaking update: the fresh diet rocks!

Hello world!

So I am delighted to report that so far the fresh diet is awesome. Waking up and having prepared delicious meals ready for me is basically a dream come true. I will have pics and more frequent posts soon but here are some tips:
1) take the time to put the food onto a nice real plate - make it look nice. And definitely heat it up.
2) If you end up meeting people in restaurants, etc. a lot - order something light or a beverage and talk up the fresh diet. Do fun activities like going to museums or urban walks - don't just meet for food.
3) try to save one of the snacks for the evening.
I've been doing a bit of cheating - I love latte's and brownies - but I'm working on it! And I'm adding yoga and a lot of walking to the routine.

Hello World!

Hi All,

Welcome to my world. I'm in my early 20's studying philosophy and living in the city. My day job is thinking about the meaning of life and at home I'm currently trying to balance my life. I've just started a new diet (www.thefreshdiet.com) and I'm starting this blog to detail the journey of moving to a healthier life style.

I am also going to sometimes blog about exploring the city, books, travel and adventures. Welcome aboard!

Cheers,
N
