Day 3 - Monday, March 23

Today is Day 3... the day is not even halfway over; however, I feel that everything is going well so far.

I got up this morning around 7:30 am to do some exercising. I am quite out of shape and so this process is slow and gradual but, in the end, it will be worth it. I am really tired of getting tired so easily when I am exerting myself. I want to build strength and endurance.

The whole meal ideal is a struggle. I need to start eating a breakfast. I think this will help my appetite throughout the day. I mean, I am not always hungry, but I do get hungry at the strangest of times. I'm going to eat a granola bar now and then get a salad around 12:30 pm-ish. Hopefully, that will be a good set up for the rest of the day's dining needs.

Yesterday, dinner was sooo evil... but sooo good. I have a compulsion to eat everything that is served to me. For several reasons--politeness, sustainability, and appreciation. When I serve myself, it is easier for me to take smaller portions (though sometimes I still do not). But at a served meal, it's hard to not eat everything. At restaurants, I have learned well to take food home (and subsequently eat it instead of letting it go to waste in my fridge). This has helped.

It's only day three. So hopefully I can keep up the lifestyle change. I see my lifestyle as very stagnant, static, and superficial. I want to see me become fresh, dynamic, and edifying. We shall see.
