Day 3

Day 3 done and dusted. Felt more like eating today due to being cold, wet and windy. Made some low fat choc muffins for the girls and enjoyed 2 with strawberries for meal 6. Don’t think I’d still be going if doing BFL strictly (I also have lentils/beans/etc as protein not carbs), but by focusing on “eating clean” I can find foods that appeal – hard when it’s cold. Had a good UBW today. Feeling very good and positive and already have more energy.

Day 2

Great 2nd day. Didn’t even want to eat at some meal times but I did. Thought less about food. I thin it must be a real habit. Obviously having healthy, nutritious food helps ward off hunger and cravings. No exercise today as Amy was home again. Hopefully tomorrow. Not too worried as i know nutition is much more important.

Body For Life Take 2 Challenge begins

Day 1 went great. Woke up ready and raring to go – most unlike me. Found out Amy was sick and staying home – still wanted to stay on track. Only had a few moments when I thought of eating something yummy. Knowing I can eat again in 2-3 hours really helps. While I say I’m doing BFL I’m not doing it strictlyu. rather i am eating clean as much as possible and trying to have protein and carb at each meal, where possible. I am NOT planning to be perfect. While I hope to workout daily I didn’t today and I’m not going to stress about it. Today was the first step to a healthy life and one I’m very pleased with. For the first time in a long time I’m feeling positive. I know letting go of perfectionism is a real key for me – that’s what I did originally when I lost over 10kg in 2005.
