Starting the book and getting into the first step

In this book I'm reading ['Potatoes Not Prozac' 2008 edition by Kathleen DesMaisons, PhD], I read the first 5 chapters that went into interesting details about addiction, especially sugar addiction & sensitivity, the various ways it affects us, the biochemsitry that is affected, and how to deal with these things effectively.

I needed a few days to ponder over these thoughts and ideas before starting the actual 'program'. I kind of started on step 1 during these few days and then set Aug. 1st as the day where I was going to start for 'real'--as in trying to do it every day. And that's the key for me right now, to TRY; it's going to take awhile before I'm doing the stuff consistently.  I've done at least some of the first step every morning but not always doing it in a timely manner.  I guess why Kathleen says that each step will probably take us a month or more to make a habit...

[Sorry if I'm repeating some of what I posted this morning!]  I'll go into more of what I'm doing with this first step tomorrow sometime.
