Day ELEVEN - Low Calorie Zen!

It's my habit to do things FULL throttle and so typically when I am starting something new, it's not a solo endeavour.  By that I mean I tend to do three new things not one at a time.  I like to think of it as living my life in chapters and at the beginning of a chapter always seems, to me, like a great time to start new things.  I mention this because along with my 100 Days of 100% I am also, among other things, starting a new diet or "lifestyle" as my wonderful diet coach, Lacey from Diet for Health likes to say.  For the fist few days of my new "life-style", the angry serpent in me kept rearing it's ugly head.  Today however I think I have found the right configuration food to keep the serpent at bay and I am back to feeling the Zen.  Thank goodness, that is especially echoed by my four year old Sofie who has felt the sting of the serpent the most.  As  I sit and reflect on the last six days of my new "life-style" I am excited to pull out yet another 100% card.  A lot of the 100% program is about looking forward but it's also great to ask yourself "What have I given 100% too recently".  Sometimes it's only in retrospect that we see the accomplishments.  I have followed my new "life-style" oh can I just call it a diet already, for six days to the letter.  For my hard work I have been rewarded with a 4 1/2 lb weight loss.  Even more importantly though, well almost (I really wanted to get rid of those 4 1/2 lbs), I now feel the fulfillment of knowing I gave 100%  to my diet, I have been doing it 100%.  Giving 100% feels great especially when it's accompanied by balance, joy and success and... weight loss.
