So its been one week since I've started the Body-For-Life program and it is just as hard as I thought it would be. Eating six times a day is.... hard. I'm not hungry six times a day, and if I'm not hungry I don't think of eating. When I remember, I eat, but I feel like I'll be gaining weight instead of loosing it, since I'm eating so much. The food is healthy, of course, however I was never one to really eat badly (when given the choice). The water is going better, but with the same problem. How do you drink ten glasses of water? I'm never thirsty, so I'm drinking it just for the sake of drinking it.
The workouts are going well(ish). Finding the time for them is challenging. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I do not get home until nearly 10 pm, and by then I'm tired and lazy and I have to get up early the next day. I'm not a morning person, I love my sleep, so waking up at 5:30 am is hard. Best of intentions when I go to bed, but when the alarm goes off, the snooze button is much better than crawling out of a warm, cozy, comfy bed. Guess I just have to form the habit.
I'm learning to (like) cottage cheese. I never have, but its just too convenient of a food. So, like the water and the other meals, I'm eating it for the sake of eating it, not to enjoy it. I'm worried that this is going to backfire with this mentality. But, perseverance is a virtue, no?
There just isn't enough time in the day....

Move the alarm clock so you have to get out of bed and put your gym clothes beside it.
honestly! I had to buy two alarm clocks and put them out of reach, after you form the habit you won't need them.
Good luck... I feel your pain!
