Day 284: Cold kicking in, eating taking hold

I told myself I wouldn't try to stuff this cold with food, but I am!!! I know it doesn't help and I would be better with honey and lemon drinks!!!!

Day 283: Great run at lunchtime

I made myself go for a decent run at lunchtime, and I did great!

Still work to do on eating when hungry, but making baby steps - avoided the icecream tonight!

Day 282: Sitting with full belly again

Haven't posted for a few days. Didn't do great over the weekend - no spirituality, and generally no consciousness...

I have ordered a book today that I saw on the A Weight Lifted site...

Day 279: Lots of exercise today

So the eating wasn't great today, but I got in a bit of exercise - riding to and from work, and walking at lunchtime.

This weekend I will work on feeling hunger again.

Day 278: The snack box and the evening munchies

These two things are my current downfall. The ever-present snack box at work, and the items that are on hand while I sit at the computer or watch tv in the evening.....

Day 277: Progress in the rain

It was a horrid day weather wise today, but not so bad on the "intuitive eating" front. I did "graze" a bit at work, but avoided the snack box (getting very close on occasions!). I also forced myself out for a run at lunchtime, just made it a short one, but glad I got out there.

Gonna do some weights in front of the tv soon.

Day 276: Headaches aren't solved by eating!

Why is it that when I feel a bit off colour, I reach for food - I KNOW that it doesn't help!!

Ok, so I figured out why I was hungry and grumpy!!

Day 274 - Hamster wheel

I sit here with a full stomach after eating way beyond "satisfied". When will I learn.

I have been on autopilot the last few days.

Day 270: Forgetting the spirit

I am forgetting my trust in the spirit during the day... I take time to think about it in the evening after blogging, and reassure myself that I will focus hard the next day, but the next day I slip into old habits.

Today also wasn't helped by an awful night's sleep last night...

Day 270: Progress not perfection

Today I had some progress, and some areas that weren't so focussed, but overall it went well.

Day 269: Alone in an office...and eating

So today my office mate wasn't there, and I turned it into an excuse for an eating binge. I ate lots of crap.

The positive side of the day is that at lunchtime I went to walk to the shops to get more sweets to eat in my office, but part way there I turned around and said "what am I doing - I don't need to do that" and I went back to my office and had a mint instead.

That was a small ray of sunshine in a cloudy day.

Day 268: Another bad nights sleep

I had another awful night's sleep last night. My son kept us awake.

I hate this half awake feeling, and I was silly and tried to medicate it with food.... it doesn't help. All I need is an early night.

Day 264: Progress not perfection

I am seeking progress, not perfection, and today I got that. I managed to avoid the snack box at work, despite nearly heading for it several times. I had a junky dinner, but I didn't eat beyond satisfied, so that is progress.

I even managed to haul my butt out the door at lunchtime for a run, despite being SO TIRED today after an awful night's sleep... Hopefully it will be a better one tonight.

Day 263: Slightly better but still work to do

I felt I did a little better today, but I still need to listen to my heart. I went to get lollies at lunchtime today. I wasn't hungry, I was even thinking that as I walked to buy the sweets!

Keep trying.

Day 262: Hamster wheel is back

What has happened - I was doing so well at focussing and it has all gone out the window. I need help.

Day 259: Wake up

Doing lazy silly things today.... need to wake up.

Day 258: Going so well then....

Old habits die hard. I listened to my hunger right up until the end of work when I was dealing with something annoying, and I attacked a chocolate bar. Then this evening I have munched out on some snacky junk....

At least I did some great exercise today - although it was hard work.

Day 257: Back and forward

I gave in to temptation from the snack box this morning, but since then have been listening to my hunger.

Day 256: Improved day

My day was an improvement on yesterday - I did well at work eating when hungry and eating what my body needed.

We got thai takeout tonight and it was so yummy that I had a second serving that I didn't really need. Then just now when I was working on the computer I saw hubby eating icecream and decided that I wanted some too - even though I was still quite full. Need to work on that...
