Wow...sodium out of control. I need to get a handle on this high protein diet. Need to make better choices. I need more time. Need to read and research. Find what works for me.

Did 2 miles today. That's good. Happy about that. More changes are coming.

Mine eyes wide open, the walls fell at Tenagra!

Um, so, I'm a weirdo. The title is a reference to a Star Trek episode, but it also refers to a new understanding of where I am at in my pursuit of looking sexy!

Started reading today that 150 minutes a week is the minimum to maintain a weight, not lose weight. 250 minutes a week is more like it, not to mention resistance training. I've been doing close to 40 minutes a day lately but it hasn't been consistent.

There's a lot to learn. And do.

So, looks like I'm plateauing again. Sick. Trying to do the Atkins thing. Very hard. Requires a lot of preparation.

I'm still learning balance. I believe that this is a journey and not a race. That being said, I blew it again this weekend. On many levels.

First off, I ate 3600 calories Friday. 1800 of which were in one meal. Then on Saturday, instead of hiking, getting on the treadmill or doing the P90X, I took...

i JUSt blew it. I'm feeling super sick. Had about a 1800 calorie meal with my family eating out. 2 triggers. Wife and weekend. I should have known better...6000+ sodium...I feel like crap. Fat was overboard too.

I can't blame anyone but me. I didn't say no or check nutritional info. This is a reboot. I'm disgusted with myself. I should throw it up, but that's opening up another can of worms.

Any suggestions other than exercising?
