Coldrun Fitness - April 26, 2016: Nutrition

Summary: Thinking through my approach to the Nerd Fitness Academy leveling system.  Active quest log.  Binge day, but an honest one.  Optimistic about tomorrow.


Nutrition

• This is where things start to get a bit dangerous.  
• Nerd Fitness Academy is paleo and level-based.  It starts at just tracking food carefully, and gradually shifts towards full-on paleo.
• Here's the thing: I like the idea of paleo in a lot of ways, but not 100%.  I still want to drink some soda because I frigging love soda - a bit.  I still want to eat a bit of sweets for dessert - a bit.  When I envision my goal-self, it's not someone who's HAAARDCOOOORE and only eats healthy foods.  It's someone who has less healthy but still tasty food in moderation.
• Here's the other thing: that's okay!  I can adapt Nerd Fitness Academy to fit my goals.  If a level-up goal requires me to do something 100% and my goal is to do that thing, say, 75% or 80%, I'll try to do it 80%. 
• Starting out at "Level 1: Help, I'm Clueless" (lol).  This is basically me tracking what I eat for two weeks.  Then I'll worry about level 2.
