Day Five: Living with my Health Coach.

Today has probably been the most difficult day of my journey.  Difficult isn't even a good way to describe my day.  


I have learned a few things that I will and need to do differently so I don't sabotage myself.  I'm a "by the book" sort of person, play by the rules (except in rook).  Last night I should have eaten another meal before I went to bed, it had been a couple of hours, I had already had my 5 + lean and green.  When Jeff, my Health Coach called to check on me I mentioned I was hungry today.  He advised me to be sure to eat a meal before bed if it is getting near to the time for a meal.  Also he told me my first meal I eat should start within the first half hour of getting up.  I am a morning procrastinator!  I procrastinate to get out of bed, so eating is usually not on my mind, I just trying to get out the door.  Those are two very good pieces of advise that will help me in my journey.  I will have to have a meal ready to eat as I get ready, maybe the pretzels or cheese puffs.


I would have to rephrase my first statement, today has been a good day.  A good day of learning.  Glad I was able to find these helpful tips now rather than get frustrated.  Thanks Jeff for helping to make this day a success.
