Or rather, that didn't happen. I did not blog daily for even a full month!
But I am back, taking things one day at a time.
I'm participating in the 8-week Whole Life Challenge, as I have mentioned here before, and each week in addition to nutrition and fitness challenges, the challenge of sleeping enough and drinking sufficient water and recording daily reflections there, there are lifestyle challenges.
Next week the lifestyle challenge will involve recording at least three things, daily, for which I am grateful. Good or "awesome" things in my life. I hope this will help me change gears a little, as in the last few days as I've become increasingly ramped up about work stress, I've been focusing more on negative things than is healthy.
The nutritional level of challenge I'm doing requires:
* no dairy
* no sugars
* no alcohol
* no grains (including rice)
* no legumes (including peanuts)
* no oils except olive and sunflower
* no soy
* no artificial preservatives, etc.
So primarily I've been eating just healthy, whole, organic foods.
I've lost a few pounds and (I think) a few inches in the last 3 weeks. 5 weeks to go, and then I hope to continue this healthy pattern, with some modifications so I can live less extremely.
I tell you what, though. Tonight I wish I could have had a glass of wine.
Ah well, the urge will pass.
