Hey Brit, so it sounds like you are getting a good start on working on your mental wellbeing so that the physical will follow! That's great! I have had some great successes in the past two weeks so it's time to detail those.
Diet - the 3 day juice fast/detox was a success! Even though I technically only made it like 68 hours instead of 72 - james was having terrible headaches so we had real dinner last saturday night instead of juice. But it did it's job of helping me get used to the normal signals of HUNGER from my stomach and reducing my (real and fake) sugar intake. I initally went from 214.5 to 209ish and then gained two back to sit at 211.5. I knew I would gain at least some back and possibly all of it back but I was pleasantly surprised instead. My following week with food was better also because I LISTENED more to my body and ended up losing a bit more, so that this morning I weighed in at 209.5. We definitely intend to do this again, although probably only for one day at a time.
Running- I promised myself I wouldn't slack so hard and I'd be able to run a mile today - well, I did run a mile at 14:27, but I skipped a lot of runs this week with my period, so it was definitely a struggle. I'd like to continue this challenge to myself to improve this time.
Overall I have had a lot of success, and James and I took a big cheat night tonight, so we will start fresh tomorrow. :)
Your challenge sounds great - I have been logging all my calories in my fitbit app, so I should be able to add on a bit of journaling in my head and try to make more conscious choices. :) I will start tomorrow and report back regularly!
