just did an interesting exercise where I wrote out all of my negative obsessive thoughts and the predominate ones I had to changed them into HOW questions. I found this to be very helpful in organizing my thoughts. Instead of just focusing on that worry; I am turning the thought into ideas of how to...

losing my gusto and feeling depressed. still caffeine free but blah.

Do I hear crickets? I think I am the only one going through the program. I am surprised by how few people are here.

Oh I understand. I used to be so focused with fitness and stuff. Now I struggle with it. They say if its important to you, you will do it otherwise you will make an excuse.
