The third week of any venture is usually hard for me. This quest is no exception. My new habits are not quite established. The 'Doh!' moments when I realise I've not done something (e.g. blood pressure measurement today: didn't remember till tea time) is depressing. Exercise has already improved my muscle tone, so I'm having to work harder and longer to get the same rush of endorphins. The mood lift from having something new and interesting to do is becoming my new norm. There is still a long way to go before the lean fit confident me in my mind is a reality.
Despite all this, dropping back into my old ways is not an option. I do feel better. People have commented that I look better. I have more energy, so more time to do more of the things I want to do. Sticking to my new lifestyle will, I believe, continue to improve my quality of living -- albeit at a slower pace than before.
This quest goes on!
