Comments:  I'm starting to wonder if I should stop taking my blood sugar in the morning.   It is getting to be ammunition for my negative voice.  I think I emotionally ate a little.  I have felt very emotionally labile this week.  PMS really doesn't help with that.   The house is a disaster and I really just have no desire to clean or do anything but wallow in self pity.   I will change that tomorrow.

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.
