It's day two of my strict Zone diet. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. This morning I had a fruit and yogurt parfait thing from Panera. It's probably a little off since it has granola in it, but I figured getting an egg and bacon sandwich on top of that wouldn't be a good addition, even if I took off the bun.

Yesterday wasn't too bad I suppose. It's hard to keep myself from snacking throughout the day, but I've found that writing everything down helps me keep track (go figure). I still get hungry between meals, but from what I've read, I'm going to have to give it a few days and play around with the portions.

I've had a splitting headache for four fricking days now. It only goes away when I take extra strength Tylenol, and I'm starting to worry about taking that all the damn time. Extra stress in my relationship recently has been wearing on me, and I haven't been sleeping well. I'm sure that hasn't helped. The stress is manefesting itself in other physical ways too, but the headache is the worst. I get some time off this week because we get 4 hours extra pay for Good Friday. What I'd like to do is drown my stress in a bottle of wine, but I'm sure that won't be an option.

Speaking of stress... I'm at work. Not exactly a relaxing spa enviornment. I think it's about time that I pulled out the massage gift certificate that Beth gave me for Christmas.

Anyway... enough bitching.

Yesterday's workout was walking lunges (100ft), pull-ups and sit-ups--three rounds. My time was a little slower than the previous time I've done this particular workout, but I know that I did more walking lunges this time than last time and my pull-up assisted weight was far lighter. Since I max out at four pull-ups, I usually use the assisted pull-up machine for WODs with higher reps.

Not much more to share. I'm going to stick to this diet for a week, hopefully it works. At least after this week I can evaluate my progress and make changes as necessary.
