....but I have been full of a cold and spent most of the weekend coughing and spluttering. Definitely not conducive to writing! Anyway I am almost better now so here are my thoughts on Week 2 of The 30 Days to Healthy Living Plan.
I have to say that I am feeling great (apart from the cold) and have much more energy than usual. In fact normally when I get a cold it takes me weeks to shake it off and I usually end up feeling rough for some time. Not the case this time; feeling better much more quickly. I had a bit of a craving mid week and really wanted something sweet (no sugar on this plan remember). I think the craving occurred for numerous reasons: habit, feeling under-par and loneliness. However I told myself that cravings are a transitory feeling and it would pass, and to help it along I had a mug of hot cashew milk with cinnamon. Worked a treat and no guilt attached! My skin is much more hydrated and the dry flaky patches have now completely gone so I no longer look like a snake shedding it's skin. I also lost another 3 pounds, so that makes 10 pounds in 2 weeks - very happy with that! By far the best change so far though, is that my mood is much more positive and I feel as though I can look forwards to the future with excitement rather than trepidation for a change. As I write this I have just realised that I feel confident! I no longer spend hours berating myself and wondering what other people are thinking of me; do I look ok; is my dress too tight (ladies you know what I'm talking about!). Got to say folks, that this trumps all the other, many benefits of the plan! So - here is what I have learned in week 2:
I'll be back next week with more "insightful" musings ...............
