The Naturale Yogi

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! I mean it which is why I’m writing this even before the week ends. It’s been 8 weeks since I started on this journey and it’s getting harder and harder to stick to the meal plan. It seems like there is a pattern where in I start the day following the plan to a T and then towards the end of the day on the last meal I get hungry and eat more than I should. It feels like my body is looking for that feeling of satiety that I used to have prior to starting my current 5 to 6 small meals a day meal plan.

I’ve had so much progress in the last weeks and giving up now is not what I want to be doing. I really want to see this through to the end of at least 12 weeks and if that’s going great I’d try and go for 16 weeks where most of the magic is supposed to be happening. It might be the stress from work reopening or just the general flow of things right now in the world.

I’m trying to get back into the mindset I had when I decided to start this journey 9 weeks ago. I decided to get into the best shape I could possibly be in at my current age. I’ve seen so many people do it and I just keep trying to inspire myself to stick with it. I trust the process and I know that it’s going to happen but I just get hungry during meal times and that irritates me that I do get hungry. I actually increased my water intake from 2.7 liters to 3.6 liters of water just to see how it goes because I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m just really dehydrated. I’m taking it a day at a time and hopefully I get into that magic zone where everything works with the nutrition and training where I don’t feel the need to eat more than what is planned and be satieted as well as having enough energy to push myself during training.
