getting there
Hello EP buddies!! I havent been on for a few days because I have been busy, which is good for me, since I was getting a little depressed. So my new thing has been to walk places instead of drive and my goal is for it to take at least 30 minutes(sometimes I walk the long way in order to achieve this). Its great because I wear a watch when I walk so I make sure I get my 30 minutes of exercise in everyday. This probably helped me lose .6 of a pound this week, even though I ate like a monster!! I gained some weight from the holidays but I am starting to get back down and I know that by the second week of school I should be around 162. Why? Because I am going to work at it!! My mantra for this year is SEE. The S-Stop Emotionally Eating, E-Exercise More, E-Eat less. I realized that when it comes to physical hunger I usually eat healthy; however, when its physiological hunger I eat REALLY BAD! So this year I am going to stop eating when food is not the solution. I eat when I am physically hungry. (talking in the present tense because the time to change is now!!!)
One thing I have thought about doing is learning how to crotchet so I can make little beanies for premi-babies (there is an organization that collects these) at night when I feel frustrated and want to dig into that bag of chocolate chips. Also using my time effectively will help me not feel hopeless. And I am going to get straight A's. Why? Because I am going to study! lol and make school a priority.
Even though the scale numbers are a little up I am not giving up! Oh the inches havent looked pretty either, I think I am going to do them every 3 weeks instead of once a month, so I can make changes sooner. I am probably going to do my official body measurements on Wednesday morning., but I dont think they are going to be lower, except I am going to watch what I eat the next few days, so I can see what that will do to my stomach. Also I have decided for the time being not to join WW but rather focus on not emotionally eating and because I can't really afford it right now.
We can do it!! Tomorrow begins today! One step at a time!
