Gotta get moving

I have been super faithful to this diet so far and now that I am forming the habit of making all my own food, I'm really enjoying it. However, I'm not losing weight anymore - so it's time to up the ante. I've bought a gym membership at work and today, I went. The gym is great and sort of a well kept secret, I guess, as it was empty. I still don't actually like going to the gym but I do like feeling less like a couch potato.

The good news is since Phase 2 started and I added back the variety of fruits and veggies, I'm feeling much better and my digestion is better. I also started the caprylic acid supplement, which may have something to do with that. I'm at a point where I just can't even imagine wanting to eat junk food - I feel so great and clean without it. I mean, I was never a McDonald's eater but even stuff I like, such as good chip-truck poutine, just sounds gross and heartburn-inducing to me right now.

I STILL REALLY WANT COFFEE. It's my one major temptation, the only thing I'm finding it hard to resist having. 19 days left 'til coffee.

Tomorrow is the first conference where I was feeling weird about bringing my own food. I've decided not to feel weird - just to do it but make sure I bring something that doesn't require heating up - keep it simple. Also there may be veggies and fruits I can eat on the buffet. Getting closer to the event and I'm too concerned about it working out well to worry about food.
