Very happy to be focusing on *something* the right direction. =)
The main problem with eating breakfast so late was that turned into brunch or lunch and that pushed all my mealtimes back until I was eating pretty late at night. [...]

Week 60 Focus: Breakfast with Protein

Posted by: delitaagain In: Planning

My biggest breakthroughs in learning about what my body needs came with the knowledge that Breakfast with Protein is KEY. So I pretty much always do have protein with breakfast.
So what’s my challenge?
I’ve also learned that I must give the first part of my day to God or I never get that quality time again, [...]

FINI!!

Tuesday was good, I was really wanting water. Number of glasses is a guess, I just kept reaching for it and wanted hardly any grape soda. I consider this focus finished for now and will work to stay on the water and keep increasing it. YEA!!!

Monday was day four of no dew or sweet tea. And, I’m still clean of those addictive-to-me drinks.
It is not just the calories, or even the caffeine (which I’m over sensitive to). These are gateway drugs to me. Once I’m having those, I find myself willing to [...]

What I did yesterday was pick up some grape soda - which is okay because it satisfies the craving without generating more craving.
If I can hang in there today and tomorrow, on drinking water, on the tea and dew, I’ll consider this water watching a GREAT success. [...]

What’s happening is my body is starting to want water.
10 days ago, it definitely did NOT want water, it wanted the others.
This is happening much more quickly than I had hoped so I am working to stay with it. If I can get through today, without craving tea [...]

I’m thinking of including lemon juice in water just in the regular water count to avoid adding a column.

Focus Water: First…

Posted by: delitaagain In: Cravings

Thanks to you faithful 3fc buds my focus is now on water. I have been finding it difficult to focus on all the things I want to change so this is good. I’m focusing on increasing my water drinking.
One thing that happens to me is that as I start drinking other things, I quit drinking [...]

The Wind and the Waves ~~~

Posted by: delitaagain In: Introspection

Ah, but all is not smooth. We knew that. We talked about that. Remember? Transistions are never smooth, but it takes what it takes to get to from one place to another, and if the goal is worth it, the journey is worth it.
So why am I struggling with - guess what - my three [...]
