OK, here's the thing - I must be scrupulously honest.

When I realized about the smileys, I thought - hey that looks like radiance!
But I know I don't feel radiant. I do feel much, much better in all respects - physical, mental, emotional. But it's still not radiance.

The main hitch is this immobility I still feel - a resistance to getting off my duff and Doing Something - be it a chore or a fun thing. Instead, I gravitate to my computer and spend hours in front of the screen. I wouldn't call this an amoeba thing, as I used to vegetate in front of the computer before RR, only with oodles of cookies and sweet coffee to boot.

Socially, I am much better - e.g., last week and this week are full of going-out activities with hubby/daughter/friends.

But personally there is a big something missing - a joie de vivre, a getting up and DOING. Doesn't matter what - cleaning, baking, weeding, planting seeds in garden, clearing the clutter in my workroom, whatever.

And here comes the honesty part.
The parts of the program I do, I do consistently.
But there are parts of the program I consistently do not do.
I just wrote out a list for myself of what I do/don't, and I will share it here.

Things I do:
1. I have enough protein & complex carb at every meal.
2. I have 3 meals, sometimes protein/complex carb snacks.
3. I eat browns (not whites).
4. I eat no sugar.

Things I don't:
1. BF is not within the hour, lunch and dinner are not at consistent times (depends how early or late BF was)
2. I don’t journal (did, then stopped, did, then stopped, etc.)
3. Sometimes snacks are not proteins & browns (eg, an orange, a date and nuts).
4. I don’t eat greens (love veggies, but hard to digest).
4. I don’t do potato (because have dinner quite late, and hard to "arrange" it).
5. I don’t exercise.

As you can see, I "DON'T" much more than I "DO".
I am on steps X,Y,Z before having step 1 all wrapped up (timing!).

I know what my next action has to be - eat BF within the hour.

Thanks for listening,
Sarit
