Wild Diet Mid Review.
From any diet you can learn something. Here is a few concepts I learned from the wild diet.
1. I spend to much time sitting. Between blogging and working I am really looking at the amount of time I sit.
2. The wild diet doesn't count and log every calorie. I am finding I feel better and eat better when I don't have to meet a calorie total. I am thinking more nutrition which as you know is one of my concepts. Looking up and logging every calorie is a good thing but it does take time. Lesson learn is that you know the higher calorie items you may eat, I no longer play the game of - If I eat this what will happen to the scale.
3. It is getting warmer so it is easier to get outside. I am looking into a 5K so I have something to look forward to. I may not know someone that is also doing a 5K so I am training by myself. On the day of the race I will find more people that are training by themselves. Look at the activities of your friends. I have a friend I am meeting up with this weekend for a drink. I think we need to go for a walk first.
4. Sugar. This is a word in it's own. I haven't had ice-cream in a couple of weeks and so far I'm not missing it as much as I thought I would. I don't know if it is because I blame ice cream for some of the sugar addiction I have or that I am just not having a taste for it. I am feeling better without it so I am going to keep it up.
5. Not afraid of some foods. Rice, potatoes and other high starch items are in their place. 1/2-3/4 of a cup,
My weight hasn't really changed because there is a learning curve to a different way of thinking about food. Note that I am saying the way I think about food. The other think that is changing it the need to get things done. Are you tired of saying I need to ..... This is another area I am working on. Some people call it spring cleaning. All I have to say is get it done. Stop saying I hate this. If you hate it change it. So I hate those mini blinds on our home. They are going. What am I replacing them with? I am trying to think of what I really want on our windows. I don't want to just put up something different I want to put up what I will like. Curtains, shades the ones that open when the alarm clock goes off. I also have to look at what I can afford.
I will let you know how the rest of the month goes.
The person I am following blogging the -What diet next" seems to be having a case of burn out. Burn out is very common thing because most of us find that being healthy isn't the normal between our friends. Why is it so accepted that going to the doctor is a high priority but going for a walk isn't. We all just accept that getting older means spending more time on medical fixes. Why don't we do more medical prevention. I read something from beyond diet, do you need a cleanse? I came up with no to most of the questions on her test.
Prevent the need to cleanse, Stop putting junk in the body. Get off the get sick, take a pill wagon. Work more on the prevent so you don't get in the sick wagon in the first place.
My trip to woodmans. I went to the grocery store the other day and got asked a question in the health food aisle. I spent an hour talking about how to eat, not what to eat bout how to think to eat healthy. It's not about following a diet, it is about how to live your life in a healthy style.
BTW the thing I like the most about the Wild man is that you are not doomed if you don't eat breakfast. I remember it is the 3 S not SS& B
It also is not SS&Shaming. Do I eat a ton more because I didn't eat breakfast?? NO! I eat more because I am bored, Doing something I don't like so I eat to avoid the activity. I also eat more because what I really want is some down time with a hot cup of coffee or some chat time with friends. What activities am I trying to avoid?? Cooking, Cleaning, working out. So I am thinking clearing your life plate may get rid of some of these bad activities.
1. when your done with it put it where it belongs. If it is junk mail, get to the recycle bin not the kitchen table. Clothes are to be put away when they are clean. Laundry basket is not their home unless your baskets double as draws and fit into your 9 cube shelving and then the likes better be together or it's not really working for you.
I think this is a topic in itself

I do like many parts of the wild man diet. I became more creative with my cooking. I think this is the biggest thing we need to do. plan. I see some people that plan out the whole week and cook on Sunday. For some reason I just don't want to do this. I always find when I cook things off they go into the freezer not to return.
I have to think of a way to plan better.
