Rebecka22 - Fabulous efforts! Regarding your question about rice, if you are asking whether other varieties are suitable for MWL: any intact whole grain is acceptable for MWL, Jeff discusses the examples of black and brown sweet rice in this thread.
If your question, rather, was about whether group members particularly enjoy any other varieties of rice, my favorites are brown basmati, short grain brown rice, and wild rice. Hope you are having a great summer, too!JeffN wrote:As long as they are 100% whole grain, it is fine.
Starflower - Awesome progress! Kudos to you for planning and executing that successful visit to your friend's barbecue - really nicely done! Onward!
Hjklost55 - I applaud you for taking that (perhaps uncomfortable) step to check-in, and I also laud your acknowledgement that, even when it feels like you are "flying by the seat of your pants" you still adhered to 4 of the recommended behaviors! Did you experience any particular event or change in routine that preceded going "AWOL"? Something that always helped me when I've felt demotivated is to take time to connect with and assess the reasons why I want to practice this particular pattern of behavior. For me, feeling in touch with my "WHY" drives motivation. Remember, too, that our success in attaining or maintaining a particular pattern of behavior DOES NOT determine our self-worth or value as a person, and right now is a GREAT time to reengage in the practices and routines that best support your own important goals. The path back on track starts with one step, followed by another and another. Wishing you the very best!
