RE: Day 640: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: awry
I love your book - read it already - and find I am already doing a lot of these things (stretching in bed morning and night, e.g.), avoiding toxins, cooking from scratch, choking down broccoli and caulifflower (cooked India style, it's tolerable). Spices and saute-in-olive-oil can make a lot of things palatable. My downfall is the tortilla chips (salt! carbs! crunch!). And the red wine. And not upping the intensity of workouts. Your personal anedcotes on making excuses may be the best part of the book. Don't we know those by heart! Thank for the offer of help and inspiration. The #1 thing must be to hire a personal trainer. That, I should do - learn the correct way to lift weights and do pilates. I can't see when I'm "off." Thanks again!
You're welcome, @carolkean. I would ask you to review my book, but I know you are a bad guy over there, lol.
Getting someone to work with really helped me. I would still be obese - or dead - without his help.
Try my ideas about upping nutrition to fight cravings. I was just having this discussion in a coaching group. When people start tracking and getting over the usrda of the essential nutrients, cravings fade.
Do you have a nutrition tracker - not calories - nutrition. Fiber, Vitamin C, Selenium, Iodine etc.
Amazon banned a book review I tried posting yesterday--because some of the authors in the anthology are Facebook friends. Amazon also knows all my Twitter friends/followers, and they banned my review of @kaelci, who I know only from Steemit. So, yeah, they're not gonna let me review your book.
Nope, no nutrition tracker, but I do eat nutrient rich foods. Like lentils. Meh. I'm trying to learn the art of cooking foods my mom never cooked (and never would). Like, stir-fry, Asian, Mediterannean, Indian: it's never good when I make it. I need a private chef or a class at a culinary institute. Or something.
One thing I should have been doing but wasn't: drinking endless water. You mentioned it, so I've taken that up. (Yeah, I live in the bathroom!)
SO, today, it was potatoes, onions, rice, lentils, mixed nuts (cashews, peanuts, etc) - and I wasted an afternoon on the sofa with a worse-than-usual headache + fatigue (I blame the nightshades I ate), despite the CBD oil drops. (Need larger doses of that. And ever larger.) But THANK YOU for not giving up on me @fitinfun!
A nutrition tracker would help you, @carolkean. Based on the foods you list, you are missing a lot of nutrients. Once you get more nutrition, everything becomes easier. Sparkpeople has a good free one, but there are many for your phone or computer.
The places I usually start people are Vit C, iodine and fiber. If you start getting 100+ of the daily RDA's for them, things improve.
Generally people I work with - including myself - are not getting enough of MOST of the 31 essential nutrients and not even enough calories until they binge. .
I won't give up on you, but I am selective in my work until Friday - I will travel to Singapore starting Monday and am already juggling everything to get ready.
One thing about your book: all those hyperlinks!!! For people like @wakeupkitty and me, with slow internet connections, it makes an ebook less useful if the information you want requires a click on a URL. A summary of the main points would help.
What I need is not just a personal fitness trainer, but a chef - someone who can teach me how to cook these non-toxic recipes. Oh, and a place to swim! That'd be awesome!! I hate chlorine and would love to be near a beach with clean water (who wouldn't!). Walking uphill and upstairs, and lifting weights, is my best bet for now. And drinking all that water, as per your recommendation!
Links I do not like either, also not here. Those posts are meaningless to me if there is no text. I can already not see the puctures and videos so the posts look empty to me.
Good tip, we are not the only ones.
