Observations coming home...
My body feels different. It’s less spongy.
I am more grounded physically, like a tree.
My posture is better when I sit at my computer.
I am drinking way less coffee but enjoying it much more.
I look forward to my meals but I am no longer hungry all the time.
Giving up wine has been much easier than I thought it would be.
Lots of stuff at the grocery store doesn’t seem like food anymore.
Fruits and vegetables taste really bright and sweet when eaten on their own.
I work out harder at home by myself, making funny faces and noises.
When I get enough sleep my body seems to knit itself back together overnight.
I feel stronger and no longer care so much about whether I look stronger.
My mood is much calmer and kinder when not fueled by sugary treats.
I have never eaten so much protein in my life; hoping this is my missing link.
I am getting more from PCP than a better body or new fitness regime
I still worry that I am too skinny some days; too flabby other days.
Comparing myself to others in terms of progress is getting me down.
I am trying to trust the program completely and just go with the flow.
To be honest I still really covet that egg white dinner shake.
I am a bit overwhelmed by my diet to eat more and more.
The cute barista made a heart on my skinny latte tonight.
I am taking that as a compliment…
Ready to rock week six!
Awesome work everybody... bon weekend!

ReplyDeleteGreat post that really touches on a lot of points we are all feeling. And that photo makes me miss home. But in a good way. Thanks for making me smile.
