Conditions for my run today was much better. The sky was blue, there was a light breeze keeping the temperature reasonable and I was dressed appropriately. Yet somehow the idea of running for half an hour made me nervous. So I set out on a shorter 2km route and jogged along at my accustomed slow pace and made the distance without any problems. But still the idea of running for thirty minutes fills me with dread. It's nonsense because I know I can do it, I've been doing it for months. It's a mental hurdle I have to get over not a physical one.
On a dietary note, I'm about halfway through week 2 of the kick start diet and I think I know how this diet works. Not only is the soup very low calorie leading to an extreme calorie restriction but the monotony turns you off eating altogether. Late last night I was feeling hungry. This diet discourages hunger-it's one of the things about it that I think is good. According to the rules of the diet if I feel hungry I should eat-soup. As much as I want as often as I like. But I simply couldn't face another bowl of kick start soup, so I didn't eat at all. And there's the secret. If I was truly hungry I wouldn't have hesitated to eat the soup.
