transition
I would say this is the end of the NutriiVeda Transformation Experiment, but that will be ongoing. At the end of this phase, I lost 1 inch around my hips and 6 pounds overall. I might be down, but I’m not out yet. I might be disappointed in the results so far, but I’m not calling it a failure by any means. It has raised lots of questions I needed to look at, gave me the beginnings of a routine–or at least the knowledge that I can develop a routine if I care enough–and helped me focus in on where I really need work. The big revelation for me was noticing all the underlying small habits I need to change to support the bigger ones. It was presented as small–aka realistic–changes to add in the three phases, but these revealed themselves as much bigger changes since not much at all in my life was set up to lay the foundation for them. A wise teacher recently told me I need to just add meditation and breathing practices and soon they will seem as necessary to starting my day as brushing my teeth and washing my face. Sounds good and easy, right? Yeah, except I sometimes don’t think about doing those things until late afternoon or even (horror!) when I lay myself back down to sleep. I no longer have any structure to my days and often can’t decide what to do first. And for some reason asking myself what I want to do usually results in that fateful clicking on of the television set and the domino falls. The appeal of shows at a certain time to order my days cannot be underestimated. So, where does this leave me? I’m regrouping and starting something new on Sunday. Tune in to see what form the next experiment takes.
