Healthy Journey Day 192


Morning Blood Sugar:  Forgot...My brain looks like my house does right now...like a tornado hit!

Comments:


Snack:
Time:10 am
Hunger Level*:
Ate: Apple and some kefer
Comments:  I almost didn't, but then realized that's what sounded good.  So I ate it!

Lunch:
Time:  noon
Hunger Level*:
Ate: Donuts
Comments:  Went to the park with my sister in law and her kids.  We had a great talk!   I picked up donuts for national donut day!  Which is actually a day to celebrate veterans.  I didn't know that.   The donuts were yummy! 

Snack:
Time:  3 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: Another donut...
Comments:  I found myself grabbing one because it was convenient.  With the state of my surroundings it was easier than washing dishes or searching for food.  Didn't really sound as good as it did earlier, but I ate it anyway. 

Dinner:
Time:  7 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: Cafe Rio.  Pork salad.  
Comments:  I felt I had my fill of carbs today.  Not like their salads are low in carbs.  I wanted lettuce though.  It was really yummy!  I was full half way through but still ate more.  I need to pull out the IE practice on stopping when full.  I have the hardest time with that. 


Water intake:  32


Daily Wins:  Communication.   I talked with my SIL and with my mom today.  Sharing some of the thoughts that have been on my mind lately.   It felt good to speak my truth.   One of the Biggest losers gave a magazine interview once and it stuck with me that she said she had to learn to ask for what she wanted.   No one knows what it is unless you ask.   I find that it is getting easier to communicate, easier to ask, easier to talk things out because I am trying, experimenting and being brave enough to say it instead of holding it in.   The Darren Daily today was very appropriate talking about unspoken angst.  Things that build up inside because you have not communicated them.   Sometimes we come to imagine something that really isn't true just because we have not verbalized it.  Our brains can play tricks on us!   The key is to let it out!  Let it go!  :)   Today I have felt lighter because I have let things go.  Try it.  Ask for what you want, share your inner feelings.  Feel the fear and do it anyway!!

I am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015.  I am following the trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I track this by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.

 I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and use a timer when I am on the computer.  I feel energetic and strong. I Feel good in my own skin.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level.  Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating.  If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry.  If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating."  Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
