Monday, Monday...

... Can't stand that day.

Today was the "first step" toward improving my health. It didn't start off that way. About halfway through the morning, my stomach started growling. My breakfast, which I have at 6:00 am, usually consists of a cup of coffee with a fair amount of evaporated milk and sugar and maybe a cookie if I remember. Lately I have been snacking on Halloween candy during the morning, but I held myself to one snack-size 3 Musketeer and a granola bar about an hour before lunch. At lunch, I had the plate lunch: chicken and dumplings, carrots, and a salad (with a lot of honey mustard) along with a Mr. Pibb. I don't usually drink soft drinks, so it almost seems okay to get just a little bit of sugar going.

This afternoon around five, I went to the SA football field and stretched. I walked a mile in about sixteen minutes and did a little agility work. Afterwards I went back inside and did an ab workout (details to follow). It was pretty tough.

Not a bad start, though I must say I could do better. The hardest part is when I get back to the abs on Wednesday and realize how much they truly hurt!
