Week 1 completed - things I've learned

I am super proud of my efforts at completing Week 1 on plan the whole way. I actually enjoyed myself. I am currently planning on completing week 2 the same. However, I have been considering cutting it short to 10 full days and bringing forward my Raw Food diet cleanse. I was reading further about it's effects and people recommend taking time at home to really focus on it as it like (most cleanses) is intense on the body. Not ideal for my work schedule and I happen to have a long weekend ahead of me starting this Friday. I do not see it as cheating and quitting my SBD plan. I will consider further and make the best decision based on weight loss and general well being. 

Like the SBD, the Raw Food cleanse is intended for me to work my body from the inside to a natural order. I want my body to not settle into a diet rut and my mind not to become bored with the routine. I am seeing steady weight loss and will record my weight and measurement tomorrow morning following my first week. I'm looking forward to it. 

The things I've learned from this week: cravings are manageable if you have a plan and emergency diet soda ready. 

Remove temptation if you don''t think you can survive it. 

Plan plan plan!!!

Prepare in advance!

Reward yourself and give credit regularly 

Drink more water

Eat more vegetables - you need all the fibre you can get!

Say no to pushy friends who try to encourage you to share their movie popcorn :) Stand Firm!
