Starting Week Two

Last night I sat down did my questionnaire and looked at my logs for my first week. I had some big successes. I gave up coffee cold turkey and only ate at a restaurant one time. This is versus daily before the program. I had some challenges with being injured, eating after seven, and meditation. However, I feel overall the first week may have been tough but I rose to the challenge. Even without being able to do the exercises I lost 5 pounds. This upcoming week my goal is work even harder at meeting the requirements. Now that my ankle is getting better I can do the strength training this week but still no cardio. I can walk but only with a pronounced limp and it still hurts. I will also be working even harder at the nutrition portion of the program. I am committing to not eating after seven at all this week. That is going to be the toughest thing for me. However, if I am organized and mindful about getting my calories in during the day it should be o.k.

I think the first week was tough for all of us. Part of my morning ritual now is checking everyone’s blogs. It gives me the sense that we are all in this together. I am not the only one who finds this difficult or challenging. Thank you all for sharing your stories it really does make a difference.
