Kyon's Progress

Okay. I figure I need to do this journal thing. Though I am not usually very good at daily entries, I tend to slack off after a week.
Week 1 went pretty well, I found brown Basmati rice is the kind of brown rice I really enjoy on a daily basis(other kinds I would probably use for cold rice salads). Been really loving a combo of black beans, corn, lettuce, and salsa which is basically what I'd have on a veg burrito. I did slip and add guacamole a couple times, not that it is bad but I need to lose some fat first. I have cut dairy out of my life, not that I had it much being lactose intolerant, and I have noticed my skin is already a little clearer. And I am down 5lbs! Though some of that may be due to the T.O.M. being over. Also, my trainer said he'd buy what I had left of the protein shake(he didn't sell it to me)it happens that he needed more.
Bad news is that I have been slipping on food when I am away from home. I had some macaroni salad with mayo, potato chips, fish, and pie. Not all on the same day, but if I start making excuses I will be back to where I was before I started. I realize though that I planned to fail, as in "those that fail to plan, plan to fail". I did not have all my ingredients ready and no salad fixings! This week I will plan on setting out my breakfast and packing lunches the night before. I also need to use my Planet Fitness membership, been away 2 months since I started kickboxing. I was supposed to at least use this to up my cardio, since I am out of shape that way and can't run very much or far because of that. Also, with my allergies, running inside is preferable.
Next Saturday there is the first cookout, I will plan on bringing some dishes so I can avoid high fat traps. I already have some veggie burgers in the fridge(there just for cookouts). Thinking of making the Aztec salad I saw posted in the recipes section. I could also bring something with potato. But the theme is "death by chocolate", is there anything I could make with chocolate? Not that I have to because I will bring savory to balance their sweet.
