:(
I may or may not have smoked three cigarettes yesterday. For w/e reason, I was RAGING yesterday.
I'm over it, I'll throw them away when I get home.
Happy Snowmageddon (ridiculous, sensationalist crap that spews from reporters mouths), ladies! :)
I have figured out that It takes about two weeks for my body to catch up with what I've done. The last two weeks I have slacked at the gym. Paybacks are a bitch. :)
Happy Friday, ladies!
I feel bingey. I want to graze. HELP! :) Probably due to the boredom.
Ok, so, it's been a week, and I haven't posted. I'm simply bored to tears with life in general and don't see a reason to stop playing my video game.
So, BDS day 7:
Make Time and Energy for Dieting
The Beck Diet Solution makes the point that in order to be successful
at dieting, one must have the time to devote to shopping, planning and
preparing meals, exercising, etc.
The book includes some worksheets where you can examine your schedule
and also work on prioritizing. To make more time she recommends things
like getting others to help, not requiring perfection, etc. Many people
aren't used to making themselves a priority and the book includes
responses to various self-sabatoging thoughts.
This is going to be a problem once I'm off JC. Currently, I go to the grocery daily on my lunch hour, and I generally pickup whatever I'm lacking at home, veggies, soy milk, cereal, etc. Just the basics. Once I'm off JC, I'm going to have to make actual grocery runs, so I"ll have to revisit this when I start the transition.
Currently, I am spending every waking hour playing a video game. I have alot to do before the expansion comes out, namely, getting my new characters to max level. I have a month left, wish me luck! :)
Happy Tuesday, ladies!
So, tell me, how I can lose 35 pounds and when I decide to start wearing a lower size pant I start feeling fat again? Well, I know I'm still overweight, but I was feeling SO good in my baggy, loose, comfortable pants that I wore when I should have been wearing a size larger. POOF! Gone is that great feeling when putting on the size down and I can't get it back. It's like I'm back at square one. grrrrr
Anywho, on to days 5 - 7, (I didn't blog over the weekend, mostly because of the eq2 addiction) :P
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
The Beck Diet Solution reminds us that it takes up to 20 minutes for
the brain to get the message from the stomach that it's full. In
addition to slowing down, she recomends concentrating on what you are
eating in order to increase satisfaction from smaller portions. In the
long run she feels it's unrealistic to eat without distractions (her
patients never stick to it) but she suggests practicing without
distractions at first to learn how to eat mindfully even if you're
distracted.
Get a Diet Support Coach
The Beck Diet Solution recommends getting a coach to increase your
chances of being successful at weight loss. The purpose of the coach is
to help with motivation, accountability, keeping perspective, giving
yourself credit, etc.
Arrange Your Environment
Eliminate trigger foods from your home and work environments.
"Don't worry about throwing out food. It's going to get wasted one way or another - either in the trash can or in your body."
So, since starting JC, I've made it a point to eat slowly and mindfully. I'm ok with this, lately I've found myself eating faster in an effort to get back to my game, but I remind myself the game can wait, and slow down again (unless there are people waiting on me then all bets are off). Remind me why I started playing again? grrrrr
I've elected Raspberry Cordial as my diet coach and ALL of EP! If you don't mind. :) Please hold me accountable, I have 32 more pounds to lose.
As far as my environment goes, I never had a problem with food in the house, my trouble was McD's, BK, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Arby's, 5 Guys, etc etc etc In other words, I'm a fast food junky not an eat at home kinda gal, so I"ll put this on the back burner in case I need it later.
Anywho, happy Monday ladies, I need to wake up. :)
I'm the queen of being a morning hypochondriac. The alarm woke me up at 7am, time to go to the gym! Nope. One more snooze, and another, soon, I was telling myself I'm SO tired and achy, but I allowed myself to stay up until midnight playing EQ2. (/gasp!) I am addicted again. :( So, next time, "sick" or not, I MUST get out of bed and go to the gym.
I CRAVE the social atmosphere of EQ2. The illusion that you are surrounded by people, and some of them actually give a damn about you even though they've never met you IRL (in real life). It's nuts. If I could hear a sound like all the many, marvelous sounds in EQ2 every time I step on the scale and hear "broooohh ing!" you've just lost 1.5 pounds, then have my guildies immediately offer MORE reinforcing feedback of, grats! I think it would be every bit as reinforcing as that stupid game whenever you do something they think is good.
Grrrr.... anywho, on to BDS day 3!
Eat Sitting Down
It's important to eat sitting down and not standing up so that you can
see your food laid out in front of you and become more visually
satisfied. Unplanned eating is also much more likely to occur if you
are standing up.
What will you do to remind yourself to eat sitting down?
Ok, so, this currently isn't a problem for me, as I don't cook, and haven't cooked in well over 5 years or ever really. (I keep thinking I need to take cooking classes.) However, just as I thought it wasn't going to be a problem, last night, after I removed my JC pizza from the oven, and was waiting on my asparagus to get done, I took a bite of pizza and immediately seized up and thought, I'm not sitting down! I almost ran to a chair and sat down before chewing the bite I had in my mouth, but I didn't. It was my dinner I was eating standing up, not mindless munching; however, note to self, SIT when eating, and NOT in front of EQ2, ever. :)
Need to read my cards today, read them twice yesterday. Happy Thursday, ladies! :)
My dad is out of the hospital and at home doing just fine. He's still struggling to breathe, but the doctors have had him turn up his oxygen which seems to help when he's trying to move around.
Thank you to all for your kind words and support. The roller coaster continues. It's a new year, time to look forward.
