I still ate sandwiches, meals made with pillsbury, etc. Does that make sense? I still ate stuff I usually ate (which, to be honest, is more healthy than the standard american diet, but still not all veggies, or anything like that), but the workouts made me eat it all DIFFERENTLY. That meant that I was just more mindful of WHEN I was eating and how much, because I wanted to avoid cramping. Also, because I planned when to do my workout, I would eat breakfast, and wait until at least a half hour to an hour after and workout. I used to snack a lot at night, have a bowl of cereal, that sort of thing, but instead, I'd be so thirsty for more water that I would drink water instead and then not have those late night snacks. I went to bed a little earlier and as a result, stopped eating earlier at night. I'd say my water intake more than doubled. For instance, I wanted to drink more water. I'll explain: I believe that the act of working out made me eat differently by craving more or less things. :S That isn't to say my diet didn't change on its own though. I hate to admit this, but I honestly didn't change my diet at all. Hi, Magen! I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! Hopefully you'll see this reply. I always fail when I try to do too much.Ĭhristen Roberts (author) from Harrisburg, PA on March 14, 2015: Thanks! That's helpful! I agree with baby steps. Magen Morris from Chicago on March 16, 2015: It's never been about my self-esteem, but more about looking healthy for ME. If it had to wait until 9:30 at night, that’s fine. I could easily spend 20 minutes in the shower, so no matter what time of day, I could put in a 20-minute workout. I could convince myself that I don’t have to justify that time (as was my habit, of my own doing). I could do anything for 20 minutes without my son or then-husband missing me. Each workout was a short, sweet, and effective, 20 minutes.The “episodes” were only $2 each, and there were only three, so I didn’t run the risk of “If I don’t follow through, that’s $14, $15, $20, $30 down the drain.” We’re not rich, but I can afford $6 and if not all at once, $2 every 10 days.No excuses like “Target was sold out,” or “Shipping will take two days.” As a subscriber, that meant I could start immediately. The program is a workout available on Amazon Prime.Carving out a half hour a day was going to be my small achievement to overcome and that was enough for me to start. I eat healthfully, though I go a little crazy on potato chips.
