I'm just about at the halfway mark! Here's a bullet-point of what's up.
- Although I'm feeling hungry more than in the first week, I'm still only feeling it 2-3 times per day.
- I'm sleeping better.
- Pre-packing meals is a must. I've been able to wing it with leftovers and tuna, but need to be more purposeful in meal planning for to-go meals.
- Did my first eating out yesterday. For lunch, I had an "Unwich" from Jimmy Johns. The family went out for dinner, for the first time in a long time, at Chipotles. I ordered a salad with chicken, fajita veggies, salsa and yummy guacamole.
- I need to increase my activity levels. The first week, I was in pain with my pinched nerve. That pain has resolved (could be diet, chiropractor, time, pain reliever or any mixture of those things.) I have no excuse to not get out and exercise. I actually love it, but the getting out is the toughest part. I do have a couple of workout buddies now, so that will help.
- I'm drinking much less coffee. Just one or two cups in the morning, then I don't feel like I need it any more throughout the day.
Heading into the second half, my major goals are:
- plan all meals for the week and prep to-go foods
- get out and walk/jog 20 minutes every day
- practice yoga twice per week
Onward! For my friends who are also on this journey, how's it going?
