I made it through my first week of the 40 day challenge. It was difficult to wake up an hour earlier than usual (and the wake-up time gets earlier and earlier as the weeks progress).
Asana Practices (Physical)
To practice yoga six days a week wasn't a stretch for me (yet) since I do practice yoga regularly from three to six times a week. I find balancing the daily practice with social life (the lack of that currently helps with the program) to be the real test.
Meditation
As I have a mind full of constant chatters, it wasn't easy for me to sit still for 5 minutes at a time (without fidgeting or thinking about food). 5 minutes felt like forever one the first day but manageable by the last day.
Food
I have been good in terms of avoiding any preservatives and eating mostly home-made food (except for the weekend that I let myself indulged - wasn't at all smart since I gained back all the weight that I lost throughout the week from the weekend binge).
Overall
I was glad that I started this journey because it definitely helped me deal with all the "craziness" that went on last week. Net weight lost - just 1 lb. Frame of mind - good.
