30 Day Challenge

I'm sort of sad to say that I haven't been vegan lately. But, due to a recent, very painful, time-of-the-month I am going to see if eating vegan will help the pain. This is after taking double the recommended amount of Aleve, being on the pill for almost a year (and it only helped for a couple of months) and finally trying to dispose of it all together. Nothing worked. So, I'm going back to my roots, and I'm going to eat as macrobiotic-vegan-whole-food loving as possible.

Today:

• Some coffee with coconut creamer
• Fried noodles with some sauce, tofu, broccoli, mushrooms and carrots
• Side salad with a sesame vinegar dressing. 

My Goals for Week1:

1. Completely vegan the whole week
2. Cut down to only 2 cups of coffee a day, not the usual 3.
3. Record and take pictures of all of my food, so I can see what I'm eating in a more retrospect kind of way. 

On a side note, I'm also working on getting into better shape. This is a constant goal, but I'm starting to get more serious. Here's my goals and plans for the rest of September, through October: 

Cardio-Running:

• Run at least 6 days a week. Monday through Saturday; Sundays off. Whether it's in the morning, at night, during lunch; whenever. 
• Work on getting my mileage up. 
• Week 1: At least 2 miles a day; See where current mileage is.

Cardio-Bike:

• Bike at least days a week for September. 
• Work on biking more frequently, not just more miles for the first week
• Mileage goal for Week 1: 15 miles 

Weights:

• Go the the gym at least 5 days a week; this give me room to make up for missed days in the mornings and the weekends.
• Bench at least 115 once. 
• Front squat 125.
• Get others to go to the gym with me

I'll keep this updated! 

Peace out, 

Kristin
