I got a bit off the zone through the latter half of the month of July, and beginning of August. I find it sorta hard to eat Zone when I'm traveling, and with family (who aren't always Zoning it). I also find that I'm eating 1–2 meals a day in the Zone, but, as you might have guessed, the snacks are always tricky for me to remember. The nice thing about the Zone diet is that it's always forgiving, because it's a lifestyle change. This morning I had a Canadian bacon, egg, and fruit breakfast, which was Zone measured, and left me feeling not a bit hungry (I missed that feeling!).
I've also added quite a bit of water into my diet. Some of you know that it never occurs to me to drink...period. So, I've made a conscious decision carry my Nalgene bottle around with me at all times, trying to drink 32 oz. in the morning and 32 oz in the afternoon. It's working so far!
I don't have any pictures to post today, mostly because I haven't explored new Zone recipes. My mother gave me a Rachel Ray cookbook (365 recipes or something like that), which I've been able to modify to Zone specifics. When I cook something new, I'll be sure to post pictures. I'll also gather up the courage to post pictures of myself, since, as of this morning, I'm down 2.4 lbs in the last month. Total weight loss is around 13lbs, give or take, and it's staying off. Lovely! :)
Yoga tonight, and of course prepping for a new school year. :)
Hope all is well. I'll try to be better about updating, for those of you who read.
