Its day 6. That’s almost a week. A whole week. I always struggle the most with the first two weeks-so knowing I’m half way through my toughest part is thrilling to me. Much of the first two weeks, for me anyway, is about change. Yes, of course I’m changing my meals to follow the zone diet–but more challenging for me is changing my habits. With two very active little guys (whom I love to bits and pieces) we are constantly on the go. After they’re all tucked in at night-I relish curling up on the couch, under a cozy quilt, with a nice cup of tea, or a glass of pinot noir. And then I snack. I crave sweet, I crave salty, I’m tired-and within the span of a few hours-I completely undermine the good I’ve done all day.
So this week-I’ve skipped the couch directly after the 7pm bedtime-and started doing something else instead. A shower maybe, sorting through photos and finally getting them in to albums, perhaps a few inclined pushups…..anything to break the cycle. And it seems to be working. I feel great. I don’t know about weight loss–part of Jay’s challenge was to not step on the scale again once these 90 days are underway….that’s a big challenge for me, too….but more on that later…..
