So yesterday was a success with food. I ate three meals. I did not have any snacks, which is a shocker to me. Unfortunately, I did not exercise and I'm kind of aggravated with myself because, ultimately, this is all on me. My husband has some kind of viral stomach bug, so I spent the day filling in for the things that he normally handles, doing the things I normally handle and checking on him and getting him stuff. Did I have 15 minutes to use my elliptical? Of course I did. I just chose not to take care of myself.
I'm still not getting the exercise done. I'm kind of encouraged though because one of the ladies in the PNP Groupies group on FB proposed we hook up on Fitbit to encourage each other. I think that's a fabulous idea, For me, it's great because I'm super competitive (not in a bad way - I just hate being last :-) ).
Okay. So, food yesterday was:
Breakfast: Shakeology
Lunch: Something we call nacho-less nachos. It's a left over recipe from when we tried keto. Basically, it's everything you put on nachos except the chips.
Dinner: Leftover enchilada casserole
No evening snacks!! Woo-hoo!!!
The big downer yesterday was I wanted a cigarette so badly. It was day 4...I think. I did not give in though.
Someone shared something cool with the PNP group that I thought would be cool to do. It's the Emotional Eating 30 day Journal Challenge. I thought I'd try to include that in my daily post.
Day 1: Who am I? Who have I been? Who do I want to be?
This is a hard one for me. A lot of what I think of who I am is based around other people. I'm a mom, a wife, a daughter, a lab tech, etc., etc.. Who am I really? I guess one of the first things that comes to mind is I'm a sympathetic and empathic person. I always feel for others who are hurting in any way. I'm also a crier. If someone is sad, I cry too. Silly? Probably. I also tend to take that emotion on myself, which is not healthy for me. I'm a perpetual student. I love learning new things. I am probably a little distant. I tend to keep away from people, possibly because I do take on other people's pain, anger, etc.
Who have I been? Man, the first thing that comes to mind is a victim. A victim of my illnesses, my environment, my family..... That's terrible. That absolutely feeds into the emotional eating. Blech! I don't even like writing that.
Who do I want to be? I want to be strong, independent and healthy. I want to be the best mom and wife I can be. I want to be a more forgiving person. I definitely want to learn to be more patient. I cannot tolerate delays.
I'm sure there's a lot more I can add to each of these three questions but that's what comes up off the top of my head.
Any who, Happy Saturday to everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend and......
Today my heart is with El Paso. If you pray, keep these poor people in your prayers.
