The challenge continues...

Okay truth... it's actually been two weeks since I started my healthy experiment. I wrote last week's introductory blog at the end of my first week. Why? Partially it was due to an insane schedule, partially because I didn't initially intend to blog this, and partially it was because I didn't want to commit and have my first week be an utter disaster. It wasn't. The last two weeks have actually been great. I have managed to stick to all of the my food related goals without any struggles - a huge shock to me but perhaps it just shows that my body was ready for it. I made it to one hot yoga class which nearly killed me, but it was well worth it. Cutting out TV left me with buckets of time to get ready for exams. All in all, I did what I set out to do and, like any accomplished goal, it feels good. Hopefully week two (well three, but let's just say two) goes equally well!

Week two of healthiness:

• Eat only from a plate and only sitting down at a table (a desk doesn't count!). I have a really bad tendency to eat wherever I can - at my desk at work, in the lecture rooms, etc. I can't imagine that makes for very conscious eating.
• TWO hot yoga classes... fingers crossed I don't pass out!
• Read another book just because. This week's choice: "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" by Michael Pollen.
• Wherever possible, eat organic and local food.

And maintenance of the new status quo:

• Eat small portions at regular times. Easter weekend will prove to be a challenge! Eek.
• Eat primary plant-based foods.
• No meat, except fish.
• No diary. 
• No junk food. 

Wish me luck!
