I am curious about what ya'll are doing as far as implimenting the Options For Life . (CALP, chapter 6)
I think I am ready to add an Option to my Life.
The Chromium Option was easy. I did that months ago.
The MSG Easing Option...... well, I try to follow that one as well as I can. Maybe I should work on doing this option better.
The Over-The-Counter Remedy Timing Option..... guess I am lucky...... that one doesn't affect me since I don't take anything.
Breaking The Sugar-Substitute Connection Option
...... got that one down pat. Was easy for me since I never had these anyway.
The Complex-Carbo Option...... I try to follow this one most of the time. (CALP, page 151)
The Caffeine Reducing Option.... This is easy for me now. I consume NO caffeine. I gave up my nasty Diet Coke Habit a year ago.
The Food Frequency Reducing Option..... This option asks you to "respond to your body's need for food rather than old rules that may have dictated when you should eat." I actually have the opposite problem. I need to make sure to ALWAYS eat a good reward meal. Sometimes I have a "brunch" instead of breakfast & lunch. So I guess I do okay here.
Down to two options....
The Stress Reducing Option
which I would love to have input from others on, and .....
The Activity and Movement Option
..... well, I am a very active person, but do not take the time for regular exercise. Any good suggestions from non-treadmill savy folks? I do like to walk. We usually hike in the desert for 2-3 hours each weekend, but now that it is hot and the rattlers are out our hikes are on hold for the summer. I am not a consistent exerciser. I usually start something and stick with it short term before giving it up. Shame on me, I know.
I think I wrote a novel. LOL.... but I would enjoy hearing how you have found success or trouble with these Options For Life.
