Before we begin . . .

So we've taken our "before" pictures (which, eek. I always managed to be better placed to not look quite so heavy before), and are getting together all the things we'll need to start p90x next week. We're waiting one week for orders to be delivered and for DF to get back from a week of out-of-town business. In the meantime, I mean to run and maybe do the beginner's bodyweight workout from Nerd Fitness, and try to stay sane during another run-up to PACT week.

It's a little scary, looking at all this, but frankly, most of the nutrition stuff is stuff I've been looking at, and turning over in my head for a while. And knowing it's only for 90 days, then we'll reevaluate on the honeymoon, makes it less of a "I will never eat that again, never no-how" kind of thing. I know some of my friends are completely anti-wheat in all its incarnations, for example. I can't agree with that, but I do eat way too much of it. Our cleanse taught me (in just four days!) that I can get by with one carb a day. Heck, it's a step up from the "no grains, beans, legumes, etc" of the cleanse.

Yesterday, I made a mess of Cauliflower rice, which I then tossed with quinoa and just a bit of brown rice (about .5 cauliflower, .35 quinoa, .15 brown, long-grained rice), which will be our base for stuff this week. I'll probably do a "fried rice" with egg at some point (maybe as a breakfast! mmm!), and some stir-fry or curry-like thing later in the week.
