I have a coffee addiction, but it’s not just to the coffee… I fill my coffee with cream, splenda and either vanilla international delight or sugar free vanilla flavor.

I started today with only one coffee, which had less of the sweeteners than normal. (typically I have 2 very sweet coffees before 11). I’ve replaced my second coffee with a green tea.
My goal is that within 7 days, I’ll no longer be drinking coffee, I’ll have replaced with with water and green / herbal teas.

Hi Jedha,

I recall a Q&A podcast that planning or changing one meal a day is a good place to start. I have been running 3 times a week successfully for a while now. I have run a 5k race and have a 5k and 10k planned in the near future. However, my weight loss has halted and I’m convinced that improving my diet, habits and perceptions about food is the next thing to focus on.

My plan for the next week is to start with breakfast. I will cook a wholesome, natural breakfast every day for the next 7 days. One of my new favorite breakfasts is a vegetable frittata recipe from the Good Food Eating website. I will definitely cook a few frittatas and probably all 7 breakfasts will be egg-based since eggs are so nutritious and versatile.

I can’t wait to hear more about the up-and-coming virtual nutrition school.

I need to work on getting more vegetables into my diet. I usually gravitate more towards fruit, but I’m going to make a conscious effort to include more veggies.

I am going to work on planning my meals.
I have the week from hell coming up with four lots of 14-15 hour work days as we deliver our school’s musical production.
I am mapping out breakfast/lunch and dinner as well as snacks for each day.
I am also going to prep as much of these meals as I can in the hope that I can eat and feel better (generally its no eating or the nearest fast food during production week).
Just thinking about having it all planned is making me feel more positive for a great week!

I love the idea of taking this slow, and keep moving in the right direction. The last 30 days I stopped eating process foods. Which for now is not eating out at fast foods or dinning out.
I’m feeling so much better and dropped 10 pounds.

My one thing is drinking a mixed green juice one time a day. I’m not getting enough greens in my diet and till I find what I like, this seems to be working.
I can tell my taste buds are changing all ready.

My husband and I are starting small and going to do 5 push ups every day and not eat past 8pm. We’re both SO tired of being overweight and out of shape but we’ve realized that when we put ourselves on a regimen that’s too difficult or too strict, we simply bail on it after a few days. Small steps is what we’re working on now! Very small, attainable goals that we can expand on!

Focusing on getting more greens into my diet. One thing I’ll be aiming for: a green smoothie each day.
