I am feeling a little low today.
It is time for me to take some time out to reflect.
I have been feeling emotional today and am really not giving in to the urge to eat foods that are not good for me.
I have just realized that one of the reasons i am feeling so emotional is because for the past few nights i have been waking up several times.
It is a bit of a relief to know that and I can do something to take care of myself besides eat.
No snacks again.
I had supper and had no snacks after that.
I glass of soda with lemon late in the evening.
This morning I feel strong.
I feel proud.
I am aware that I must not sit back and let my self off the hook. I still want to stay with,"I WANT TO RID MY SELF OF THIS FAT."
I made my self go to Good Life yesterday. I knew that it was the best thing I could do for myself. No excuses. I went to the gym for MY well being.
Physically I feel strong.
Mentally I feel clear headed.
Emotionally I feel content.
Most important, I still want to rid my self of. " FAT BELLY."
It is not pounds I want to lose it is "the fat around my belly.".
Hit the wrong key and you lose everything.
I had visions of a large bowl of popcorn last night and stuck with that vision. I knew that if I brought that vision in to the 3 D world I would be in the cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating.
I did not give in to the urge.
I felt the emptyness inside my belly.
There was space that I did not have to fill.
Ahhh.....
I didn't indulge my self last last night. (However new years eve i had 6 shrimp, 4 crackers and some cheese. and soda water.)
I am slowly changing how I think.
If i allow myself to slow down and take a breath I know what to do next.
I can think about what I do next.
So this morning what I want is Clarity
I want to be clear with what i want to do next.
I want to know what is stopping me from doing something.
I want to make good use of my time.Thank goodness for lessons learned.
Thank goodness for endings and new beginnings.
Happy New Year To each of "You".
Giving some thought to what I want to do for myself.
What would be really good for me mentally physically and emotionally.
1. Find a tape measure and measure myself ( it would be nice to see what my measurements are at the beginning.)
2. Record food that I eat on a daily basis.(Pretty important so that I can see my calorie intake and stay within a healthy range)
3. Return to the gym 4x's a week to do cardio on the tread mill.(This is important too. I feel so much better physically, mentally, I feel energized. I feel like I have done something good for myself. I understand that cardio is a good fat burner.)
4. Yoga practice Daily for at the least 10 minutes.(My yoga is so important!!I Taking time for Yoga helps me to see what is important.)
5 Plan a strength training routine for core and upper body one day. (Body awareness and breathing. Important!
5. Plan a strength training routine for core and lower body off days.(Body awareness and breathing. Very Important.)
What I notice when i do my list and reasons is the connection i have with yoga and how it goes along with other physical activities.
I ask what is missing from my list.
ahhh,
What i really need to do to succeed is to have the passion, desire to lose this fat that I carry.
I really want to be healthy.
I really want to be in charge of my life.
This is my beginning.
This is my now.
I want to lose the fat.
If I can keep that in mind I can stop the compulsion to eat.
Compulsion is such a strong word but it really defines my addiction to food.
That is brutal honesty.
It really feels good to say that out loud or rather in my blog.
So today is day 2 of my watching what I eat.
Today is day 2, I woke up from the night before of no snacking or indulgences.
That feels good being able to say NO to snacks and indulgences.
I so want to lose the fat.
Because that is what my weight is.
Ah, the end of the year 2008.
I want to lose 30 pounds by this time next year.
I currently weigh 175. So I am aiming to reach 145 December 1, 2009.
The holiday season is pretty much over and family has left and today i put away the Christmas symbols. I said out loud Yeah!!! It is over:). Planning and preparing food for family, friends, for over a week has been totally exhausting. Now I can focus on myself and my need to pay attention to my weight loss journey.
