My status this week is, again, unchanged. I’m starting to think about more drastic changes to my diet in order to eliminate even more of the bad habits. The trouble is, my head’s not really there yet. Life is crazy right now and there are days where I feel like I’m doing well just to get through a day remembering to zip my fly or not lock my keys in the car. Hell, I wear slip on shoes so I don’t have to worry about tying laces. Counting calories on top of all of that seems nuts.

I will admit that despite my best efforts to leave myself open to the level of craziness that becoming a parent would bring, I under estimated its effect on my diet. I simply don’t feel like I can devote the energy necessary to eat right.

I’m sure that sounds crazy but my fanatical pickiness over food makes menu decisions tough. I really have to plan what I’m going to eat because there are so few healthy foods I like. I just don’t have the time most days to do that.

Portions probably continue to be my undoing. I think if I could reign in the size of my dinner plates I would probably be having more success in the LB department. I continue that battle but am convinced, from prior experience I might add, that an increased activity level will have a dramatic impact on my perception of a healthy portion.

This week I appear to be coming down with a cold and Jaime is working Monday and Tuesday nights. That means I won’t be able to run until at least Wednesday. Provided that my cold isn’t too bad and the weather is halfway decent I may go out for my first run then. Rest assured, I’ll post every wheezing detail just as soon as the blood clears from my ears and the doctors clear me to leave.
