Morning Blood Sugar: 100




Breakfast:
Time: 11 am
Hunger  Level *:
Ate:pie--leftover from the party on Friday.
Comments:  We have so many leftovers it is crazy!!   I'm feeling my appetite coming back today.   But I am bolstered by the number on the scale so the goal is to figure out how to maintain the same...without skipping meals etc. 

Snack:
Time:4:30
Hunger Level*:
Ate: cheesecake, pie
Comments:  Think I had a little emotional eating going on.   Besides the fact that it had been hours since I ate last.   I had someone give me correction earlier.  I somehow don't take to it well.  It gives fuel to my underlying feelings of inadequacy I have realized.  I'm working on figuring out how to get around that. I don't like having underlying feelings of inadequacy.  I am more seriously considering finding a therapist today.   Many things that need to be worked out in this brain of mine. 

Dinner:
Time:6
Hunger Level*:
Ate: bacon and tootsie rolls.
Comments: tied in more with emotional eating.  I did consider eating more pie but then decided I wasn't really hungry and so skipped it.

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.
