It's day five of the start of my journey and things are going good. I just got back from another great workout with Travis. I am learning a lot and trying to retain all the training he is giving me on lifting "right". I hate asking questions and was really hoping to be able to remember everything right away, but he must have read my mind because he told me after today's workout not to hesitate asking questions or for additional help unless I am confident in the exercise.
I am still adjusting to some of the food, but am feeling so much better physically. For the last couple of months I've had the worst heart burn, and it's gone. I don't feel so bloated, and my skin is starting to clear up a bit. I am a little more tired than usual by the end of the day, but have more energy throughout the day. It really feels good not to be relying on food for my pleasure and comfort.
I was at the grocery store last night and saw a couple of things that looked so tasty, and for a split second I thought I would put it in the cart. Then as quickly as the thought had come, clarity came running to the rescue and I stepped back into reality remembering what I am engaged in. There was one moment where the temptation was lingering and I remembered some advise given to me by Heather. She told me that I could just kindly tell myself "no, your not going to have that, there are much better options for you right now" or whatever you want to say to yourself. Just like we say no to our kids at times for their own good. I tried it and it worked. I listened to myself and didn't worry about it the rest of my shopping trip. I relearned that there is great value a firm "no" at times.
