I survived a week on only fish, fruits and vegetables, even while traveling on business. I lost 4 pounds while eating 5 meals a day. I think there is a new diet book in there somewhere. My biggest lesson there was how happy my body and brain was without carbs and sugar. I had so much energy, especially during the normal mid-afternoon slump.
Well actually the real lesson was the interesting arguments my brain had with itself. “If you eat this (crouton, chocolate, pretzel, etc) no one will know.” The impact of others on my self discipline became apparent. Self accountability and self discipline obviously need to be interwoven.
This week’s challenge is 20 minutes of brain training every day. No shock that memory was my lowest score. I am surprised by both how much I am enjoying the Luminosity exercises on my iPad and how much I am still afraid of math. Sigh. HighSchool math leaves such scars on the psyche.
