me vs. the machine (quite literally)...my final answers
1) A post on what, if anything you learned about yourself and nutrition. I’m primarily interested in if this program affected the way you now think about food. It’s ok if it’s not.
I learned that as much as I try to eat "healthy" I was really still eating a lot of junk. I was a label reader, but I still allowed myself to eat things that really weren't good for me. I must say that I fully intend to continue to look for real food...without the added sugars and words that require me to use my "SAT" reading scores to read them. I need to make more time to actually eat, but that is based on habits and schedules that I have allowed to overtake me for such a long time that it's hard to just "fix". I did find that the more regularly I ate the more likely I was to want to eat when I woke up...something that doesn't normally happen.
2) A final write-up on how things went; good, bad and ugly. Any suggested areas of improvement would also be great. This is basically a critique of the program along with some suggestions on how you would make this better / different if you were in charge.
I was rearended at some point during all of this, which put me out of commission for a while. Then I also have been diagnosed with vertigo which has really done a number on me. However, I read in another post that someone else was experiencing light headedness, so while I acknowledge my vertigo I wonder if some of what I'm experiencing is not the vertigo alone.
I would suggest established start and end dates...I know I started a little late (but then again maybe not since there seemed to be some confusion about the end date), but thinking I was shooting for a certain date and realizing that it was actually another made things a little stressful.
Also, if there could be just a little less homework. I was trying to cook in new ways, read the book, read the extra articles and then post about them. Honestly, I didn't absorb most of what I was supposed to just because it was too overwhelming. Maybe the homework should be scaled like the workouts: If you are new to all of this just read the book and post about that...if you are more advanced read some of the supplemental things and post about that...if you are super duper advanced then compare the book and the articles....
Also, I was overwhelmed by the technology, and the time it consumed. Advise people ahead of time that they will have to have a tumblr account, and how to get things posted and linked...oh and that log that it took me until the end of week 2 to be able to access and then it wasn't until around week 6 that I realized Siddharth actually couldn't see it....that was a bit frustrating!
4) One of the hardest issues we face with effort is getting people to “give it a chance”. I want you to write a post that could be shared with someone you care about who doesn’t believe that this may be a worthwhile effort. On the flip side, this program may not have been worth it, and in that case, I’d like the note to explain to them why they should avoid this program.
If you have tried so many other things to make your life better, healthier, etc. why wouldn't you give this a chance? If you have health challenges why rely solely on medicine? Why not let your food heal you...you have to eat anyway, so what do you have to lose?
I have a medical condition for which I will have to take medication for the rest of my life, no matter what, but I definitely notice a difference in my body over these last few weeks (I will not share everything with you here because it would be TMI). Suffice it to say that I have lived with headaches more days than not since I was 9 years old...I also have migraines at least 2 times each week. In this 60 day period I have had some headaches, but not many, and I have only had 2 migraines. TWO migraines in 60 days...yeah, I'll take it!
If this seems too extreme, take a look at it and make a plan, begin to eliminate some of the foods and begin to buy more of the good stuff. Then let me know when you want to start and I'll do it with you..we can swap recipes and I can let you taste what I cook...I promise you, you aren't missing anything except a chance to make a healthy lifestyle choice for yourself.
3) A quick paragraph on what you intend to do, nutritionally, now that the program is complete. Again, it’s ok if your answer is McDonalds and Twizzlers. Whatever you decide, what is your plan to ensure that you stay the course? “Trying” isn’t a plan J
Now that the program is over I intend to continue to buy foods without additives and sugar. I've been going through my recipes and throwing out the dishes I will never make again and keeping the ones I can make modifications to so that they comply with my new lifestyle. I'm still keeping several of my baking recipes because I don't make them that often and really, what is Thanksgiving with out my sweet potato pie, Christmas without my peacan pie, Easter without my pound cake...and a really good chocolate chip cookie is great for kitchen time with my daughter and godchildren...sooooo.
Am I gonna eat a twix...HECK YEAH! Will everything I do be as strict as these last 60 days...nope. Fruit here I come!
