Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.
"Reflection: new week, have found it hard to stick to this week.
I don't want to restrict myself but sweets have been an issue so I think I'm going to have to watch it. I've got the thing still, of eating sweets and cake because others are, I wouldn't have gone into the haribo shop but I did because others did. I wouldn't have had cake but it felt rude to decline birthday cake. It took a lot to feel okay taking a packed lunch to
See family
There is deeper work to be had there.
This week we aren't going to have sweets, try to get out of the taste of them. "
"Walked the Interpretive trail with a coffee by myself and enjoyed the birds chirping, the warmth of the sun, and seeing ice chunks floating down the river."
"Break: mixed fruit pancakes, sugar, maple syrup
Lunch: tater tots
Snacks: 25g protein yog, choux bun.
Was feeling very poorly this day and couldn't really eat. "
"Damn it. This morning's MM reading was on Shame, and not covering it up, so I have to confess this. NMD, lots of wheat thins, off the mark on all counts."
"Break: protein yoghurt- 25g
Lunch: same as day before
Vegan sausage roll ( to help lugr eat)
Whole packet of jelly sweets. - I then had such a significant drop in mood after these sweets
Dinner: doner summer. & 100g peas
1.5ltrs water "
"I ate healthy every single day this week. I can do better next week by watching my calories more closely, but my diet consisted of healthy vegetables and protein sources every day. I got bad sleep one night, but never twice in a row."
"I was fatigued and made a poor decision to eat my "forgotten" protein from dinner (after finishing my dinner & after going for a painful dog walk...my foot still hurts...). When the protein was finished I added an apple and added some peppers and hummus and then some popcorner chips and guac...not sticking to bright lines. Will try to learn from this in the future. Boo!"
"During all the period I am counting. There was no day when it was more then 75-80 grams, a lot of days it was less than 40 grams. Good statistics. Of course it could be even better. Have lost half of a kilo of my weight so far."
