This month was wonky. No idea why I am not closer to the goal already. 4 more days and have to lose 5 pounds.

- I made a Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and berry souffle for an easy breakfast for a few days. It only has 271 calories and 23g protein and 30g carbs per serving!
I have been asked to explain what a potato reset is. There are many ways to go about it but at its core, you are lowering the calorie density of your meals by having potatoes as your starch and bulking out the rest with nonstarchy vegetables. It helps to quiet down your cravings without going hungry and settle your taste buds to be ok with less 'exciting' (junk) foods. It's sometimes called "Mary's Mini" and is part of Dr McDougall's Starch Solution plan. Lots of YouTube videos from him and Broccoli Mum if you want more info.

- I woke up weighing 199.8 which is huge. Lost 7.8 pounds. The other thing is that I had my period and with my adenomyosis, my pain was bad, I did stay home, haven’t walked because weather is poop and I looked 6 months pregnant last week. I knew I was weighing more than before I started the challenge so I decided NOT TO WEIGH myself and just cruise through. I said to myself: not the time to weigh. Let’s wait for the inflammation to go down.
Anyway. I feel happy.

- Cooked apples with cinnamon with Greek yoghurt.
- I discover the joys of my Thermomix. I had owned this machine years. Never used it. Now I am so in love with it. !!!

🌺 Happy Wednesday! 🌺
You’re a week into the game and this is where consistency starts to matter more than motivation.
Take a moment to check in with yourself:
What’s going well so far?
What needs a small adjustment?
💬 Reflect:
What’s one win you’ve had since the game started (big or small)? Or, what’s one thing you’re tweaking to make the rest of the game easier?
Keep showing up! Progress is built one day at a time. 💪✨

- Tracking helps me a lot! Holds me accountable. I bought a health and fitness tracker from Etsy and I’m loving it so far.
At the beginning of any diet, one of the greatest challenges is to resist cravings for things that you can no longer indulge in. For most of us, that is anything with high added sugar. Added sugar has no nutritional value and is literally like a drug. It triggers dopamine in your brain and can lead to constant cravings, impulsive behavior, and withdrawals. Like any addiction, it is very difficult to tame. HOWEVER, it doesn't take that long to train your body to move on! It has been my experience that strictly adhering to limited sugar (try for ZERO) consumption for 10-14 days, those cravings become manageable, if not gone altogether.
Some things I do that help resist cravings or provide a substitute for sugar:
1. Chew gum. Sugar-free of course! I have found that always having a piece (or 2 or 3 😊) in my mouth helps me resist eating anything.
2. Eat sugar-free jello when you have cravings. It's amazing how jello seems to be fulfilling with very little calories.
3. Have a can of sugar-free or low sugar Reddi-whip in the fridge. You can add some to your jello or like me, just take a "shot" when you have a craving.
4. Replace soda with water. I know, that may be a bit too much for some. But seriously...very few people can achieve their goal by drinking sugary drinks every day. At the very least, change to diet soda or any zero-sugar drink. I really like Pepsi No Sugar.
5. Russell Stover makes incredible sugar-free candies. They taste every bit as good as regular chocolates. Also consider Atkins candies and bars.
If you can remove added sugar from your diet for at least 2 weeks, your body WILL accept it being gone and you will have taken a huge step toward achieving your goals!
