This has not been a particularly good week for me diet-wise. All I can do is begin again from where I am. My most successful period in the past three months has been when I was eating vegan on the Rice Diet. I think that I shall pick up where I began in June, and try for as many consecutive clean eating days as possible. The loss of fluid would feel wonderful in this awful heat. I also long for the clear-headed feeling of losing the excess sugar/salt/caffeine of the past week or so.
Another happy by-product of the Rice Diet is the initial exhaustion/sound sleep that accompanies the detox. Not that I enjoy being wrung out. But that was some of the best sleep I have had in a long time! (I have long thought that if we could get all of the insomniac peri-menopausal women together when we were not sleeping, we could rule the world!)
The other component that I simply MUST add is daily exercise. This mountain will not be moved unless, and until I decide to exercise consistently. Hopefully, that will not only help with the weight loss, but will also contribute to better sleep, and improved mood.
Ever hopeful........

Dear Hopeful, walk, outside. Unless there is no place to walk and/or if it is unsafe. I started by walking around the track at our local high school after work. Then I graduated to walking around the gym (winter.) Now I walk outside down a country road at 5:30 in the morning. And on a treadmill in the bathroom in the winter. (I hate winter.)
I can't cope with all the weights and bands and balls and memberships and machines. To walk all I need is me. Bye.
