Woo! I just got my fitbit. I was really excited and then revolted with my results on day one using it. I was shocked to see my calories in versus out. No wonder I have been having such trouble getting the weight off. This is by far my favourite fitness toy with app!
Orgainizing My Life
I found a new blog that preached just what I wanted to hear. How to organize my life and take control of my menu planning. I have been very interested in planning meals through out the week, but a lot of the “How-To” menus that I have found were no very inspiring. This new blog was really what I wanted to hear. The blogger, Tammy, is just your everyday lady that laid things out simply and plainly for me. There were simple things like posting the menu on the fridge. I did not even think to do that and it that is so simple of a way to stay on track.
I am planning my menu today and going shopping tomorrow.
:(
So I was completely pumped to go to the gym. I got home, raced into my room and my dog peed all over my gym bag, shoes, everything. He is an old man and was sleeping on this stuff and piddled. I gave him a bath, washed everything, and then we ate pizza. Poor old guy. 😦
Budgeting
Ugh. I hate figuring out budgeting. FML. I do however feel that it is the same as menu planning right now. I don’t want to sit around and figure out anything at the moment. I need to sit down and get this done!
Weekend Motivation
I feel that my motivation depletes by the time the weekend comes around. What with having a long week at work and being exhausted by the weekend I feel like I deserve to eat everything in sight. But then all my hard work for the week is out the window and I fall further down the emotional eating roller coaster. I am not really feeling it this weekend, but health is not an option. Here I go.
So Sleepy
I am so tired. It was so mother flipping hot here last night I could not sleep. And it is looking for a repeat performance tonight apparently. FML. I am melting. I ate too many carbs today because of it. And I think I may have been using it as an excuse. Journal, journal, journal. Oh how the mighty have fallen, at least every few days or so.
Temptation Thy Name is Pizza. . .
Mmmmmmmm was all I thought as I gobbled down some pizza, chicken wings, and onion rings for dinner. The halfway through I made the face (O_o) and stopped. I made really great choices in the morning, but in the evening Holy Diana! What happened! Besides food journaling I have taken note to times when I gorge. It is when I am at home and bored. I need to think of something to do to occupy my mind, maybe go for an extra walk with my dog or take up one of my many hobbies again. And no napping is not a legitamate hobby.
I also want a fit bit. I do not sleep well and would like to see what is actually going on. I feel that I am awake for over half the night and then I am tired the rest of the day. Hence the over eating and nap taking. If I tired myself out maybe I will have a better rest.
Two Rocking Days!
I have had two sweet healthy days. I am super happy with what I am doing. I have been recording and am making changes to where my problems are. I am still probably eating too many fruits vs. veggies, but I am making changes. Two walks as well this week! Boo Yah!
Weekend Warrior. . .
HA! I did not power through the weekend as healthy or graceful as I intended. I was a complete disaster. I had a moment of complete dispair when I weighed myself and saw my weight, and went through the “What does it matter anyways?” feelings. I ate through those like nobody’s business then I had regrets about my choice and did NOT eat through those feelings. That is progress. I recorded everything, and it is a little bit horrifying how much I can pack away when I am being an emotional eater. It was an enlightening weekend and I am coming up with a game plan for future episodes of weight despair. Does anyone have something that they do to combat it?
Treat Meal Day!
So someone along my travels has suggested that I have a treat meal once a week. So today was my day I picked. I love Vietnamese food. LOVE, LOVE it. So I thought that I would order that in and enjoy it. Well today also was the day I forgot to bring my lunch to work, so I went without food from 6:30am – 5:00pm. I order some food, but then I had a tuna sandwich. So I only ate the rolls that I ordered and now I am sad I did not wait, but I did not eat for almost 12 hours, so I did not treat myself very well today. I stopped myself from gorging, plus side!!!! I now have some food for tomorrow, but I may just give it away to family.
From myfood journals I have learned that I do not eat enough during the day and that I need to eat more snacks. I starve myself and need to cut that shit out. It is not helping me in the evening. Lessons learned.
