You are doing well with the protein, WP - you've got that sorted by the look of things

I am hoping so it does say you need 66 days for something to be habit forming and I am day 10.I can not believe I have gone from 45g if I was lucky to 90+g. I can work on lower calories and different combinations so I am not bored the clear protein drink has really helped me. |

From the information I've gleaned around changing mindset, it takes an average of [xx] days - the number seems to vary! - to form a habit. Easy habits, like deciding to eat chocolate every day, would take only a day or two to form, but something that is very hard can take many months - you are battling against your brain's determination to save energy by not allowing any significant change. Change uses energy. Apparently, the biggest issue with forming a habit is that as soon as the 30 or 60 [or however many] days is done, people tend to feel they deserve a day off and the habit is broken, as quickly as that. It's interesting stuff |

GimmeMincepies That is interesting reading and may explain why people who follow a diet do well for so long then it all falls part.We just have to perserve with our bigger changes Yesterday 90g P. 2 litres water 20,000 steps 1 hour running 2 mile walk A busy day as we have fencers here replacing our fencing so need to make garden ready for them.So food although hit protein was not so nutritious as I would like so planning this morning incase day goes sidewards again. |

EP: Maybe it is about small changes then when you feel at the comfortable stage turn the changes up a notch?

this is what I am trying to do now so my focus before holiday was to drink more at work which in turn made me realis that although I drink more at home it still wasn't that much really |

So how are we all doing? I have had a busy time with the fencing chaps here for over a week but finally we are finished,so I have more time. Yesterday 2 litres water 46 minute run 2 mile walk protein 90g 17564 steps So all good this end and hardly any DOMS after week 3 with PT.I just need to add in two sessions at home. No napping in a week but that is due to fencers here but maybe I am finally recovered. |

bit up and down here started PT yesterday (1 a week for 10 weeks) so a bit achy today! Also sore foot due to wasp sting still managing the drink and more aware of food definitely increasing protein and fruit too so little wins but not enough to impact on the numbers yet |
