Monkeyhouse Zendo

For the month of July I’m going to be making a concerted effort to post daily, exercise, improve my diet and again become established in meditation. The daily posting will be of primary importance as it is intended to keep me honest regarding the other aspects of the project.

Goals

• Post daily
• Exercise at least 5 days a week
• Track my diet on a daily basis
• Meditate at least 15 minutes every day

Exercise is primarily going to be strength training with light cardio on the off days. Diet is primarily tracking what I eat and develop a more long term plan over the course of the month. Meditation is to establish myself in daily practice again.

Boring but studies have shown that keeping a food log reduces snacking and binge eating simply because you’re more aware of what you’re eating and when.

7am – Breakfast burrito (2 eggs, cheese, salsa verde, whole wheat tortilla), 1 slice of bacon, glass of grapefruit juice, cup of coffee w/ half-n-half

10am – Walked away from the computer for a bit and took a swig from the grapefruit juice bottle while I was walking through the kitchen. (It’s ok, nobody drinks it but me)

1pm – Slice of my birthday cake. If I can’t make it to the gym the why not just make it a hundred times worse.

7pm – Vegeburger, an apple and water
