I am keeping up with my food plan day to day, and I am also exercising.  I did try taking a walk the other day but my back and leg cramps were really bad.  I will stick to yoga for now.  Settling into the routine of my food plan is difficult.  I eat six times a day, and it takes a lot of planning and effort to do that.  I also report my food for the day to someone else first thing in the morning so I can be accountable for what I eat.  I went out yesterday with my sister in law and my niece for a few hours, and I brought my morning snack with me, but I was watching the clock hoping I would be back from the trip at a reasonable time to eat lunch.  It will take a while before I can stop watching the clock and just start listening to my body.  At this point I still feel hungry most of the time, so I don’t trust my own instincts about when to eat.  I know this will improve over time as my body adjusts to my food plan.
