Comments on Week 1:
Okay guys and gals here is the sticker for me. No discipline and I went away during week 1 of the challenge. Yes I have done some exercise but roasted the rest of the rules with the exception of no alcohol.
NutritionHere is a reminder of the nutrition rules:
Nutrition rule 1. No alcohol, no exceptions! That will be the easy one despite my work.
Nutrition rule 2. No bread and pasta! Hmmm not so easy but easier when I will be in my home evironment. But what about rice?
Nutrition rule 3. Drink only water. How does one get unaddicted from tea when there is more tea flowing in your veins than blood?
Nutrition rule 4. Never miss a meal, especially breakfast. Hey even I stuck to this rule all this week. Usually I miss out because I sleep through it all all or just plain forget. Hard when you get home at midnight and do not get up until about midday. That will be changing soon as I have a new job where I will be able to set my own hours (within limits of course) so that I actually do some daytime shifts.
Also how do you get your body to change its mind about eating so early. I have a problem as when I was diagnosed with depression I found that my body readily put on weight (from the medication) and I also tended not to able to eat full meals, so the meal and snack routine throughout the day will be no challenge for me. But ... she says my body tends to dislike extremely the thought of having anything before about 10am. That has not changed in all the years since I have had depression and am not sure how to get around this.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Rice is fine.

Every time you want a drink of tea, drink a mug of water. It gets easier as long as you're strict about it.
> breakfast ... I miss out because I sleep through it
Whatever time you wake up, you eat. Even if you wake at midday and eat at 12:30, that's breakfast. Missing breakfast would be waking at midday and eating at 3pm. The critical thing is to get food into the system when you wake up.

Eat something small. One egg, or a small serve of nuts and seeds will suffice. Then have a decent brunch three hours later.
Ælfric.
Yeah, tea is a toughie for me, too. I'm thinking of trying to drink plain hot water since my apartment's so cold!
How are the exercises going for you?
Exercises are interesting but the first lot have left my body really sore and my body is not responding so well to things. Then again sitting on a bus for two hours coming home from my parents has probably not helped matters much either.
As for the tea - think I will just have to up my water content and drink slightly less tea each day. Or even go to herbal teas.
