4 hours for me & 10k Eve

8/5/2011

3 Comments

 
I had a very inspiring talk with my cousin Melinda last night.  She is a wealth of information!  I figured I haven't been eating enough.  I'm so "All or Nothing."  Just ask my therapist :)  Man, I miss her.  Last year, I had my biggest weight loss, and it was due to following the Eat to Live formula.  I was eating all the time.  Sometimes my jaw would even get tired.  I lost all that weight, without really even exercising.  Now, I am trying to be active, and I need to go back to eating more frequently.  I need to also eat less processed foods.  I know better.  It all comes down to preparation.  I have no excuse not to put forth the effort in the food preparation.  For the first time in my life, I'm not working outside the home....
The boys had 4 hours of daycamp today, so I made a little trek into Peru and had lunch (not ideal), and then saw a movie: Crazy, Stupid Love.  It was cute.  It  was sooo nice to have some time to myself.  Love my kids to death, but it's non-stop.  You know what I'm talking about!  Anyway, I could have done much better w/ my diet today, but considering that ALL day I wanted eat, eat, and eat, bad, bad foods, I'm fairly proud of myself.
Oh yeah, tomorrow Brian and I are going to walk a 10k (thank God he's choosing to walking it w/ me, when he's completely capable of running it).  I have a million reservations about this, but it's for a friend's charity.  I know I will be last and also the fattest person there....  Anyhoo, wish me luck :)  And I hope you know that by wish me luck, I'd like you to wish that there will be slower, heavier gals there than me.
8:00  Got up.  I actually slept fairly well last night.  Yee-Haw!
8:30  2 boiled eggs w/ toast and blueberries.  I meant to do egg whites only, but Dummy here must not have let them cool enough before throwing them in the fridge overnight.  A lot of the white came off, so I even ate the yolks.  If I would've been thinking, I would've only had 1.
9:00  Took Junior for 1 mile walk
11:30  Went to a Mexican Restaurant (by myself..I'm finally able to do things on my own at the prime age of 39 :)  I ate some of the damn chips w/ salsa.  I should've asked them not to bring it.  I also had an avocado tostada (full avocado, lettuce, tomato, salasa, and cheese (I tried to pick most of it off).  Man, I love cheese....  Oh yeah, 2 Diet RC's
4:45  Way too long in between meals....  1/2 Veggie Delight sub on wheat.  I got it w/ all of their veggies, heavy on the spinach, no cheese, sweet onion sauce.
6:00  Cup of homemade Vegan chili 
6:30  Caffeine free Diet Coke

Glad that you got some time to yourself today! It is so golden! One night last week Rob was at work, Jack was at camp, and Adam was staying overnight with a friend. I was so excited and it did not even occur to me until afternoon that I had my eve all to myself . :-) Good luck in the 10k. You will do great. Try to not compare yourself to others. You are way too hard on yourself. Quit looking in mirrors for a while. Let your friends provide your reflection. We see you as you really are. Love ya girl!

Think of food as fuel for your body. If you are exercising you need to provide enough fuel so your body doesn't eat itself. We too often allow ourselves to cheat, eat junk instead of fuel, etc. We say we deserve it or use some other great excuse. I think you are doing a great job of self reflection. Acceptance is the first step in making Chane and as Mel said preparation is a huge step in supporting that change. Keep it up. As I give you advise It helps me remember my goals as well.
