I wanted the effects of this challenge to be two fold, firstly I wanted there to be a little weight loss & then some stability on that front and secondly I wanted a better head space. The human body is a complex being & the older I get the more I realise just how what goes in affects what you can get out of it.
This week has been a week of watching my footing, I’ve still not broken the habits, I still look and yearn for the om nom nom but have a strength to walk on by. I avoided alcohol and chocolatey based pudding on a night out on Friday. I had one near miss where I was pinning for corned beef, a jacket potato in the oven & I ate nearly a packet of sliced salarmi, however I will endure.
The most noticeable change has come from the lack of caffeine. Within a week I have noticed that my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep has improved already. I’ve wanted to nap less and over all I find I can keep functioning a lot longer. For that alone, the challenge is worth its weight in gold.
So, on to week two…A week of holiday, socialising and a big family meal, this could be interesting!
Rachael, that sounds great! It is really unbelivable how strong Caffeine affects the Human body. I am happy that your ability to sleep already improves!! Yay! :)And you will rock the Big Family meal for that I am sure!! Eat the healthy stuff and maybe a tinsy or no portion of the "bad" stuff. Wish you well with that! :D
