I eat....

I had a good day yesterday but I reconfirmed something last night that I already knew but just ignored I think. I totally eat out of boredom and not healthy stuff, I crave the crunchy salty stuff when I’m bored. What’s up with that?? Actually I think I was hungry all day and then last night when I got home all I wanted to do was eat chips, popcorn, corn thins, crackers, anything that went “crunch”.

I ran in the morning, walked home from the train station (2 miles up hill), and did a 10 minute ab session. Then when I got home I sat on my deck in the sun and read my Oxygen magazine. The BF was out training the dog for the night so I had the place to myself and I was enjoying the sunshine and warm weather we were finally having. Then I got the munchies. So I got up and made my dinner shake (didn’t want to make anything else for dinner and it was what I planned to have). Drank that and about half an hour later, I wanted the crunch. I ate 5 corn thins which equal to about 150 calories so it wasn’t so bad and could have been worse. Then I focused on keeping myself busy. There is a reason I can’t just sit around at home, and I definitely don’t watch t.v., there is nothing but boredom on there.

So I need to make sure that I develop some new habits that when I “feel” the munchies coming on, I get up and do something and the feeling actually goes away. Leave the kitchen, hit the yard (water flowers, pickup after pup), couldn’t exercise much more or my body will burn out so have to find other things to do.

Learning new behaviors……

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
