Day 7 (30-Day Trial #3 Revised) - After Day 2 I just stopped lol. I really felt like it was too much and it no longer was about building habits for the long-term. It felt more like an overwhelming job. Also, I want to give more time and attention to learning more about each goal, so I'm going back to focusing on one goal at a time. So far, I have two habits locked in - Visualizing and not eating any processed starches, cheeses or foods containing refined sugars. The third habit I want to work on this month is waking up at 6:00am because I still haven't got that down yet.
I've lost 20 pounds as a result of the diet change with no real exercise and have learned a lot about the alternatives. I'll have to see if I can keep that up for the long term so it'll probably be about 3-4 months before I really feel like the processed stuff is gone for good. The thing I like the most about it is that there's no need to over-eat anymore. I don't think about eating as much and it feels like I've let go of an addiction. It's almost like weight loss on auto pilot. BUT since the goal isn't just weight loss, I want to incorporate some weight training and cardio, but for now I'm taking it slow.
