Yes, the rewards are fabulous. I know raising any child is difficult, but a little extra work can make it even sweeter. I really have to watch myself and not let his behavior trigger me. Right now when I am ready to start screaming I go wash dishes. My house is open so I can stand at the sink and still see him/interact with him in the living room. It gives me a physical task to help w/ the anger and frustration, keeps me from eating, puts me next to the phone. I guess it is a sad statement about my housekeeping that I almost always have some dishes to wash!
I am new to fast-5. Really like it. I eat paleo which means (to me) meat,fish, veggies, eggs, fruit, nut and seeds. Foods that existed prior to the start of agriculture 10,000 years ago. So no dairy (which I am allergic to and get headaches from anyway) no sugar, no grains. So 2 days after eating my bread and rice krispies w/ milk my head aches and my fasting blood sugar is 98. (In the official normal range, but way above my usual mid 80's.) I refused to check my blood sugar that night!
I have lost 65 lbs in the last 14 months (by different diets.) In January I decided to stop my low-cal diet b/c I felt so unhealthy, and try something different. THat's when I started paleo. Lowering my insulin levels w/ paleo made it so much easier to do fast-5. On the other hand, lowering my insulin levels w/ fast-5 might make it easier to do paleo! I have lost 18 lbs since the beginning of the year. And I have about 57 to go (I am 5'6" and want to get down to 150.) But you know, I feel so good now - if I never lose any more weight I would be okay. I work 12 hour shifts on my feet and let me tell you, that sucks when you are 274 lbs. My feet used to always hurt, but the worse thing was the mental fog. I had an emergency 5 minutes from change of shift one day and it was like my brain and body just refused to act. It was fine, my co-workers came in and helped me, and no one noticed I was clueless, but it scared me. I need to be as efficient at the end of a shift as at the beginning, and I couldn't do it at that weight.
I am in the mountains East of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Got 4" of snow last night!
