I’ve been avoiding writing so as not to be whining about this diet. It’s not as fun as it was at first but I have actually lost 11 pounds since I started. I’m on a quick-loss plan that is mostly veggies and fruit. No fat, no sugar, very few grains, no dairy (couple of boiled eggs a week). Miss my cheese.
The first week I didn’t move much thinking it better to conserve energy, but this week I’m riding again, and this morning me and J did our “five tibetans” (yoga), and I feel fine–better, actually.
Took, like, two days (not next to each other) where I ate wrong stuff, but I get right back on the horse (the next day) and have not regained any. The thing that’s different is that I’m more patient with myself. And if I stray, I don’t throw in the towel and quit altogether. The tendency is there, though. Another thing that’s different is that when I eat stuff that I’m not supposed to, I try to really take my time and enjoy it, although it’s still hard to not overdo. Hurt myself on one of the days.
Effort in any endeaver is not always productive. Being able to relax gives me a better edge. It’s so amazing, really. Knowing that it’s not hard, but instead an easy process that will result in better health, endurance, and flexibility. Focussing on these aspects and knowing that I’m attracting them to myself with my thoughts and energy is how it all happens.
Just wait!!
