Greetings and felicitations!

Welcome! I invite you to join me on my journey to better health and well-being. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you!

My promise to you is no preaching, no soapbox, no lectures. This is going to be about what worked well for me -- I will comment but that's it -- take what you will from that. I figure, the book doesn't preach, so why should I? Feel free to post questions or comments -- and pass along the link to anyone who you feel might be interested. The more, the merrier!

However, I am only human...expect the occasional foot-stamping tantrum when I want chocolate...

Cycle 1 (Accelerate) -- Day 3

Good morning!  I slept 6 hours straight last night -- that's better than I've been sleeping for weeks now!  It's really encouraging to have this result happen so fast.


I'm not going to bother with my food journal today -- I ate my usual breakfast and morning snack and that was it until I got home from work.  Work was insanely busy, super productive and included a really positive visit from my boss (who is also back on the "path" after a busy weekend of entertaining).  Unfortunately, busy=no lunch + an hour of overtime + late dinner (Dr. Mike's Chicken Vegetable soup with a wee bit of parmesan cheese sprinkled on it -- yummy!).  I did manage most of the water today, though.


And then I ate a cookie...
Six cookies, actually...
In my defense, they were small (Anna's ginger cookies)...


I think this is about the point where I caved to the carb craving last time.  Sigh...

  1. Welcome to sugar withdrawal. You and me both. I'm resisting with all of my being. Rice cakes aren't cutting it though. Going to go and root through the kitchen to see if something hits me in the head that sounds, looks and tastes as fulfilling as I need it to be. Good luck my friend. I'm right there with you....

    1. Thanks, babe! I know you've got my back! And I appreciate the support so much. I know I'll get through it...

      Ever hear of kale chips? A recipe came through my Facebook wall today -- I'm going to send it your way (not sure if you can have them right now, but later on...). It sounds a bit too different for me, but I might get brave...
