Day 10 - recap
5/10 - Eating slowly - increasingly being conscious of what I am eating
4/10 - Eating only when hungry - tried a few times, still stuck in the 'mealtimes' mindset
3/10 - Relaxation - only listened to mp3 once, deep breathing a few times when walking
4/10 - Reducing sugar/stimulants - drank less alcohol (except for Sun!); still eating too many sweet snacks
5/10 - Eating natural foods - apart from sugary snacks, most meals healthy & veg based. need to cut down on bread
9/10 - Drinking 2 litres water daily - yep, second nature
10/10 - Walking 30mins day - have averaged over 10000 daily, really pleased
?/10 - Regular exercise/activity - does walking count? need to introduce some cardio/weights
7/10 - Active as poss - always confused by this one. have sedentary job but walk for 90mins day and think I am reasonably active
I know I haven't lost weight, I've had a shaky start. On the plus side, I'm more aware of eating slowly and am re-learning how to listen to my body. Am walking much more. Things to try: cutting down on bread (never ate it much but eat it much more now have moved in with G) and doing some 'proper' exercise - e.g. stepper for 20mins, weights, Davina DVD
I have found cutting out/down bread (and the dreaded butter) one of the most useful things I have done - after cutting out the sugar. I feel far less driven to eat, I think there is something about bread that sets me off, and its just too too easy
take care and hope you enjoy the journey
