Healthpointe Day 1 - Jump Start Day 1

DAY 1 SUMMARY

Today I officially start the Healhtpointe program in earnest!  The first 2-3 days are what is called a jump start day which is protein only.  So far it has been ok I suppose.  I pan fried some chicken breast last night with a few drizzles of soy sauce.  Then I packaged them into 100g portions ready for lunch and dinner.  I relied on the program's protein bars for snacks every 1-2 hours as this was the easiest solution for me in the office.  Especially considering today's work consisted of "Vision and Planning" meetings from start to finish.

There are a lot more supplements to take now that I am on the official program (meaning not preparation days).  I grow to be less and less of a fan of supplements each time I take them.  I wonder how I will feel about the supplements in week 6!  So far this has been the most difficult discipline for me as I never have believed in supplements to begin and don't really like taking them.

Despite having a bum left ankle I managed to walk 5,637 steps which probably flared my injury quite a bit, my ankle was quite swollen by the time I got home from work.  In any case I will continue to wear the pedometer but not strive for the 10,000 steps required until my injury has healed.
