Yep I finally got back on the wagon. Did 30 minutes of meditation which was suitably “difficult”. Now I need to keep this up every day. Ideally a 30 minute session in the morning and another 30 minute session in the evening. Or just a 45 minute session, once a day.

My nutrition today has been pretty off plan. A load of carbs throughout the whole day. I’m having trouble sleeping because my stomach feels like it’s got a rock in it at the moment. I’m feeling bloated too.

My emotions have been pretty roller coaster today, and I can sense this is going to be a pretty critical time for me to get my head right to make sure I persevere with my efforts. It’s like there is some part of me that is just trying to sabotage all the hard work I have put in up until now. Some mental block that is going to chip away at my resolve to really achieve my goals. I’m counting on the meditation to help me spot and control those kinds of thoughts and feelings. I also am going to write a bit more about these kinds of things in this blog.

The last couple of weeks I have been slowly creeping off the paleoesque nutrition plan, and I need to spend some time sorting that out. I’ve also noticed my enthusiasm for exercise isn’t quite as high as it was about a month ago.

Meditation really does bring clarity:

I’ve noticed my belief that I an achieve my weight loss goal isn’t as high as it was about a month ago. It’s the self-doubt that is chipping away at my resolve.
