Changes For May
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
You may recall that I was trying to get rid of chocolate and caffeine from my diet in April. Well, the plan almost worked perfectly. Caffeine is virtually gone and chocolate is greatly reduced. I wasn’t 100% on target but I made enough progress that I feel really good about things. Now I’ve had a week off from working out and I’m feeling great.
So for the month of May, my plan is as follows:
ZERO Chocolate and Caffeine
I want to see if I can cut these things out completely, just for a month, to see if I really need them in my life. I’m guessing that I’ll find caffeine to be unnecessary but I’ll probably never get rid of chocolate completely. Still, it’s worth a 30 day trial to see if this is truly an indulgence worth having. Actually, when it comes to the chocolate bit, I’m going to remove all processed sugar from my diet this month. We’ll see how that goes.
Better Sleep
I’m going to focus this month on improving my sleep. That means going to be on time, buying a new bed and trying out a few new sleeping positions. I’ve been reading up on sleep apnea a bit more and I’m going try sleeping on my back but with my head raised. I’ll see if that improves the quality of my sleep. I’m also going to invest a bit more time in shopping for a comfortable bed as opposed to my last few bed purchase decisions which consisted primarily of “hey, this feels bouncy!” in the store.
Less Binge Eating
My one remaining eating problem is binge eating. I sometimes get in this mood where I crave food. Even worse, if I get into this mood when there’s a lot of food around me, I tend to overeat way too much. Even though I’m aware of this, I will occasionally put myself into situations which make the problem worse, such as when I suggest going to a buffet. So for the month of May, no buffets at all!

Next month I’m planning to make some changes to my exercise routine but I’d like to think them through this month.
That’s it, those are my goals for this month. What about you? Anything special planned? Working on any 30 day trials?
