REPAIR: STAGE 1 DAY 2 8/26/2008

NO Macros: too much carb... (i mistakenly thought the max was 35%)
YES 1200 calories ...... 1,198 cal eaten
YES 120+ g protein 40%+ .... 137.8 gm; 45%
YES 27-33 g fat 20%-25% .... 27.1 gm; 20%
NO 75-90g carb 25%-30%.... 111.4 gm 35%

DONE Rule 3 re-calculate maintenance cal. gave me 1200 cal/day
YES Rule 4- Ease in carbs
YES Rule 6 - sodium < 3000mg

How I felt.
1. Accomplished: almost hit the macros, clean food
2. Still tired, headache, achy thigh muscles
3. Food was easier to figure out; I'm hitting my macros (except I forgot carbs under 30%; ate 35%) ... and stopping eating at 1200!!! And watching sodium! And re-reading the books.
4. Day 2 is done... It still really feels like a diet.... looking forward to feeling rested. Gotta go to sleep NOW.
5. Counting the splenda and Oribit gum; only had 3 pieces today!!

Extra credit:
NO a. spa, massage, epson salt bath
YES b. increase potassium and magnesium:
Potassium Morton Light salt, bananas, figs, most seeds almonds
Magnesium spinach, beans, sweet potato
