Day 02 - where the idea of sore as normal instead of problem sinks in

I worked from home yesterday - which makes food portioning easy. Today I will need delegated portioning - and to not snack on the variety of foodstuffs in my locker.  Except the peanuts, maybe.

Commentary:
#1 I am finding that prep and planning and eating are all taking far longer than normal for me.  This might be because I normally eat just about anything, or because (other than eggs) I don't normally eat food that takes much prep, or maybe because I do not usually pay attention to how little time has been involved.  It just seems this will functionally be a time commitment akin to a part-time job.
I am feeling sore, tired, and in spite of the food and water I am still a little hungry after my meal.
#2 This feels like quite a lot of water
#3 yeah, water.
#4 ironically, i think i drinking more soda than i am water
#5 s'too bad that tap water doesn't taste good
#6 These meals seem small and I'm hungry - maybe my stomach is too big and/or I'm used to larger portions for no reason other than the idea that soda makes it easier to eat more food. It also might be I'm just re-learning how to gauge how much food I should eat at a meal.  I've always heard American meal portions were large - perhaps this is also a factor.
#7 still hungry going into afternoon; maybe more vegetables during meal? Also need to ensure I eat before I go to the gym for my first WOD.  I get the impression that the WOD will be hard enough; having to do it while hungry seems a poor decision.
#8 loving the almonds as a variety - and i'm thinking i may need more ... fats?
#9 ooh, olives are a fat that i can include.  awesome
#A so many of the aches + pains just melt into memory when you WOD. I can see their value. Also fun!

The beatings will continue until morale improves

I have cracking jokes all day about how sore I am. If nothing else, it's just plain funny that getting up from a seated position is painful.  Also, because my knuckles are WAY TOO dry, they are actively cracked.

Just left Costco having picked up the ingredients for my and my wife's Crossfit Challenge dietary regimen challenge.  I also had to hit up Kroger cause we got to Costco late and they were sold out of rotisserie chicken.  Kroger won the day.

5 rotisserie chickens
2 clam-shells of salad
2 bags of fresh broccoli florets
1 case of eggs

Gotta stay positive and be thankful!

In the before time

Just finished nutrition class - lots of details, but much I have heard before.

I asked about honey + cinnamon.
It is apparently homeopathic.
Which seems to be a word for awkward silence.

I look forward to losing weight, eating better, and being mindful about food choices.

I admit that my primary motivation revolves around the notion that better nutrition apparently equals superior results - none of the other justifications motivate me.

But I believe the process can work.
