Last night I had my 2nd Skype date with Sylwia. We went over my goals for the next 1, 3 and 6 months mostly, and cleared up some doubts on my daily ... progress, I could call it.
The best thing about this new way of life is that there is no pressure. It's a beautiful thing. All I do is pay attention to what I'm doing, feeling or dealing with when I have the urge or impulse to put something in my mouth. For the past 7 days, these urges have diminished significantly. I am not forcing myself not to eat something, or depriving my body of a certain nutrient because the "diet" doesn't allow it. On the contrary, I am free to eat whatever I choose, as long as I do it mindfully. Mindful eating. Mindful eating was such a strange concept for me, and I am pretty proud to have grasped its meaning and benefits so quickly.
I am conscious that I probably repeat myself a lot when describing my daily "progresses." The reason why I do it is because I follow the thought process that the more one repeats something to oneself, the more they integrate it into every cell of their bodies. I do not want to grasp the concept intellectually only, I want to feel it, live it, be it. So, the repeating information over and over is really beneficial to me. There has been a certain shift of consciousness in my brain when it comes to food. It is pretty fascinating.
Last night, we agreed I would focus on two things for the next 2 weeks:
- drink 32oz of H20 daily (I know, not that much, but considering the cathing situation I explained before, it's a good way to start)
- increase exercise.. ideally cardio 3x a week
There was no water or exercise today. I always have tomorrow. : )
