A major part of Legion is diet. The exercise is important, but to really begin to transform my body I have to watch what I'm putting in it! I mean I can run 5 miles and depending on my pace only burn 400 calories. So if I'm just eating any old thing my workout is erased and no change will ever happen. I'm adjusting to eating mainly.. Protien. Lots of it. I want to be healthy first and foremost, and I want to be strong and toned too. Here's a look at what I've basically been eating since ol Leeg started. I'm lucky b/c I enjoy these foods. Their flavors agree with my pallet. Eventually I know I'll begin to grow tired of the same old stuff and will have to bring out the recipes and switch it up a bit. I also know that to get the look I want will absolutely require a strict dedication to the food choices I make. As I've said for some time now, life is about trade-offs. This is one I'm willing to make!
Breakfast:
Kashi Go Lean High Fiber/Protien Cereal with non-fat milk, 1/2 banana sliced and a handful of blueberries
1 slice whole grain/dbl fiber bread with a conservative spread of Nutella and the other 1/2 sliced banana
green tea w/ a bit of honey or 1 cup Starbucks coffee (thanks Jen) w/ a splash non fat milk

After reading this post, I was at Costco and saw the Kashi cereal, so I bought some. I like it, especially with added bananas or fresh blueberries. Keep sharing the great info.
