I’m starting week 2 tomorrow! And the exclamation mark will probably tell you how it’s going. It’s a bit surreal to be working on losing weight while being able to eat when and what I want, but I’m not arguing. I’ve been listening to the Slimpod every day, and I’ve been hogging the Chillpod, making time for it during the day.
It evokes the same reaction the NFT tapping does, as if it is opening up and releasing things I’m subconsciously holding onto. And since I’m made of stress right now, that’s awesome.
Wins for the week
Drinking water. Previously I had to force myself to do that, and rarely did. Now I’m having water where I would usually have made a cup of tea or a coffee. It feels weird to chug down all this liquid and not constantly run to the bathroom so… how dehydrated am I?
Drinking less coffee. I’m hoping that means my stress levels are dropping, because coffee with sugar is my stress-crutch. I’ve gone four days without this week, saving between eight and sixteen lumps of sugar! I’m sure my waistline is delighted.
I’ve also had a mini breakthrough when I felt myself getting stressed and managed to talk myself down, using both the Chillpod and the more familiar Tapping. Plus, despite a sciatica flare I’ve been either walking or practicing Pilates every day. Usually I’d have skipped the walks and blamed the pain!
Side Effects
Weirdly vivid dreams and a few headaches. The latter could be simply be caffeine withdrawal. The former… no idea? But I am falling asleep long before my usual bed time of one in the morning, and I feel rested when I wake. So I’m not going to argue.
I realise I’m still in the honeymoon period, that things might not stay quite so positive. But…it’s a journey and not a race, so my mind can take its time. As can the rest of me.
