Accountability here I come! A LITTLE ABOUT ME I am a young 5'6'' 23 year old that weighs 142 lbs. I am mostly looking to eat healthier and build up my body strength and endurance. My ultimate goal is to become a parkour master. I dislocated my left patella in November 2015 and have been on the road to recovery ever since then. I am not very strong but I can walk for very long periods of time. I have a job that keeps me on my feet all day so that has helped me stay moderately active since graduating high school. I don't follow the paleo diet but try to avoid added sugars and processed foods as much as I can. I am also obsessed with cats and you will see a lot of cat gifs here. ON TO THE LOG Plan for today: - Eat some breakfast - Take supplements - Do 20 lunges, 20 squats, 20 leg raises, and 20 foot rocks (It's to improve flexibility in my injured knee) - Go for a walk with the Zombies, Run! app and while doing that head to the library to pick up some things - Come home, shower and get ready for the day - send off some important e-mails - Work on personal budget - Work on metal health exercises - Eat dinner (Mushroom Chicken with rice and an egg salad. I know, I know it's not paleo) - Read the news - Work on art project for one hour - Get ready for bed - Go to bed I'll edit this later with the results and plan out the next day as well! Let's do this! EDIT 6:37PM: Okay! - For breakfast/lunch I ate 1 cup of homemade hamburger soup. It has Macaroni, hamburger, celery, carrots, parmesan cheese, a few different spices, and tomato sauce. Not paleo but I'm trying to build up my confidence with cooking AND live on a budget first. I also had the rest of my homemade chocolate banana bread. Not the best choice but what's done is done. For a snack before my walk I had a homemade chocolate coconut energy bar. It has cocoa powder, coconut oil, honey, oatmeal, dried cranberries, golden raisins, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut inside. - I went on my walk before my workout. I walked for 54.48 minutes for 5.09km with an average of 10min 45sec needed for each km. I walked a total of 5614 steps. 1st km: 10min, 2nd km: 11min, 3rd km: 12min, 4th km: 10min, 5th km: 12min, last km: 13min. My knee hurt for the first bit but then the pain went away after km 2. I have no idea why that is - Did my workout fully, perhaps a bit too fast. I need to focus on slowing down and concentrating on technique and form Now, to shower and take care of those e-mails, I'll update at bed time! EDIT 12:27AM HA HA. Wow I didn't plan on staying up this late WHOOPS. - Had mushroom chicken and rice with two whole carrots and two whole pieces of celery. Also had another homemade energy bar which was the same kind from this morning - Sent off some e-mails but still need to do more tomorrow/today - Didn't work on budget - Didn't work on mental health exercises - Read 1 article - Worked on my art project for 2 hours Now I'm going to bed. Right away. After I plan out tomorrow.
