In the beginning, he asked about our goals. I only had one -- to lose weight. Little did I know it wasn't going to be 'physical' weight that I'd lose in the first month.
In my previous post, I listed my weight and measurements, and I did the same thing the morning of Feb. 21st. However, a funny thing happened. I didn't feel discouraged at all when I realized I only lost .4 pounds**. I guess it's because overall I felt lighter emotionally. I was able to rid myself of baggage that I didn't realize I was carrying. This was something I hadn't prepared myself for.
Lasse helped me to see that by dealing with the emotional 'stuff', my relationship with food would change. In a sentence -- I became conscious. I am more in tune with my body and know what works and what doesn't.

February 2013 |
I'm proud to report that:
1.) The emotional eating has subsided. (Meditation has helped tremendously with this.)
2.) I find that since I'm on a plant-based diet, I don't need nearly as much food to fuel my workouts or runs. My energy level has increased. I don't feel sluggish or weighed down.
3.) My social life hasn't slowed down. I'm able to dine with friends and make healthier selections from the menu.
Three added bonuses: I am regular, sleeping better, and cooking more.
This journey has proved to be an enlightening one so far. I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the next 30 days for me and the other journeyers.
