Day 1 of my 90 day challenge went well. Aside from some personal things that I am currently going through, I ate exceptionally well - maybe even a little too low on the calories- and had a decent workout.

I have heard multiple times about mashed cauliflower. The reviews I have heard is that it has the same consistency and general taste of mashed potatoes. This is smart choice for those who love mashed potatoes but don't want all the carbohydrates that come with them.
After trying out the recipe, I definitely couldn't get the consistency of mashed potatoes. It was more of a chopped, mushy cauliflower texture. As far as taste, to me, it tasted like broccoli. It wasn't a bad taste, just not the taste of the mashed potatoes I was expecting. My mom tried them and said they tasted a combination of mashed potatoes and broccoli.
After trying that recipe, I will probably continue on a search for a better recipe or limit my potato intake.
As far as everything else, everything was general and simple. I just seasoned the chicken with some chicken seasoning that I bought at the store and threw it in the oven.
Yesterdays workout consisted of a 70 minuet "bluff run." It was moderate to intense with different levels of hills to run up and down. Nothing too difficult.
Staying committed to my nutrition and fitness is going to be tough. Although I have overcome such milestones, I am still challenged on a daily basis of staying motivated. I am determined to develop better habits by the end of these next 89 days.
Day 1 = success!
- Be Better Than The Best
P.S. If you have any experience with mashed cauliflower, please send me the recipe!
