Day One

... actually went rather well.  One juice at normal school breakfast time, followed by a glass of water during the morning session.  Then another juice at morning tea followed by half a glass of water.  Lunch was a glass of water and then I had the third glass of juice straight after school. The hardest thing was remembering to drink the water!
Morning tea has never been a problem at school as they all eat crappy crackers and fatty cheese with a coffee, but I can see lunch being a bit of an occasional niggle, mostly when it's a shared lunch and there is some yummy-looking baking!
However, day to day at school is going to be just fine.  After school is when the hunger pangs hit - years of conditioning and bad habits.  "Yay, the kids have gone, I've finished work, time to Relax and Reward - with FOOD!"  Now the kind of R and R I'm going to take part in will be Reflect and Reboot.  Reflect on what I used to do and work at forming some new healthy habits and Reboot my lifestyle.
Made the juice for tomorrow - Beginner's Green again - and finished today's Berry and Beet concoction which was mixed up with the rest of the bought juice.  It's in the bottle, ready to be packed, all ready to go. And I'm all ready to go - to bed!  There doesn't seem to be much point to staying up when there's no supper, bedtime snack, bikkies, Milo or ANYTHING ELSE!  :(
But when I truly listen to my body, it's not sending me messages to say I'm hungry - it's just sending me the normal, bad habit ones - "Come on, you are not actually full to the brim so you can put a bit more in!" and "It's such and such a time - must be food time!" 
I must listen to the new messages I'm going to train it to send - "Thanks for the juice - it was yum!" and "Have a glass of water if you think you're hungry" - all that sort of good stuff.  Note to self :  LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!
