This week has made me very glad that I commited to leveling up when I did. Had I not signed on then, I would have probably said "Screw it, I'll worry about this later." My goals for achieving my main quest have been: Drink at least 32 oz water a day, replace grains with at least 3 veggies/fruits a day, and go to the gym at least 4 days a week. I did go to the gym that Sunday and Monday, with the intent of returning on Wednesday and Friday. By Wednesday I was having such abdominal pain that I decided to wait. It was the same the next day, so my parents finally convinced me to see my doctor about my life-long digestion issues. She said to try going lactose free, gluten free, soda free, and drinking-straw free, in addition to excersize and 5 min of clearing my mind each day. Thank goodness I'd already decided I want to eat paleo and regularly excersize. The straw thing sucks though. On the awesome side, I had no idea how many kinds of veggies I could eat in one day when I try. I'm also getting 1 or 2 fruits in, which I never did before. Also, my mom (who loves to experiment with cooking) is getting on board to the paleo idea. While she wants me to focus on just being lactose and gluten free, she's already made some paleo recipes for the whole family, which we loved because she made it. So, now the challenge is being more active this week than last week. I just want to build that habit. Also, I can't wait to try out the free weights at the gym. My friend showed me how to properly do some moves, and I realize now that my personal weights are too light for me to actually get some decent muscle. Yay!
