Day One

First day of a new challenge! I've been following the Whole9 program for the most part for two weeks, but can I follow it strictly to the letter for 30 entire days? I'm going to find out...stay tuned.

I'm still plagued by sleep troubles. Even though I went to bed exhausted, last night I tossed and turned because my body just felt so jazzed up. Usually two ZMA will take care of that. I even took an epsom salt bath but no dice. I feel like I'm hungry but my tummy's not growly. I think it's my body looking to be fed some of those overstimulating carbs (bread or sugary food). Hopefully my metabolism will switch over fat-adapted so that I tap into the fat stores at night instead of looking for a sugar hit.

Now that I'm working at home, I don't have the opportunity for additional daily movement like I did at the other job. I used to have lots of space on our floor to walk around and could easily clock 8000 steps a day. At home, I don't have that space to walk so I decided instead to use my Air-Dyne. As often as I can, I'm going to do 5 minutes on the bike every hour I'm in my home office. Today I got 6 sessions for 30 minutes. I'd like to work up to an hour a day if I can but we'll see once my full workload kicks in.

Next challenge on my plate....making my own mayo!
