Oh, I am so behind…. I’ve got blogs to read and blogs to write… and I am SO enjoying my single life at home. I miss them terribly but I like doin my own thing….
I did fairly well on the weekend for food, had a bit of junk here and there (popcorn - which I truly don’t think is too junky)… I’m trying to eat only when hungry which amazingly is around every 3 hours. I’ve been eating like that for so long that it seems to be what my body wants. I finally found the Intuitive Eating book at the book store on the weekend. They have not had a copy anywhere for the last month or so, so now I can read through it and decide what I am going to do. I also bought two more books, the Gabriel Method and Love your Body, Love your Life. I had never heard of the Gabriel Method before I saw it at the bookstore but it looked interesting so I bought it. I’ll let you know what I think once I get through the book. Could be a scam but it might be worth just to read through it.
I’m all about removing the word “DIET” from my life right now.
Exercise was excellent. I’m back in my walking & Turbo Jammin groove again. Yahoo I’m starting to feel good again. Hip still is sore but I’m stretching and I can sleep. The memory foam thing I bought last week seems to be helping with the pressure.
Hot 100 Update:
Now last night, I had an issue. Not sure what came over me but it did and before I knew it I over ate. At 8:30 when I was talking to the BF to get the days update on the hunting trip, my belly was big, bloated and uncomfortable. I knew what I was doing at the time I was doing it, but I just kept on stuffing. WTF was up with that???
I’m over it now but man, that was horrible J
So all in all, I did well with all my goals except #4. Most part because of last night’s binge, but mostly because I don’t get home until late some days and eating after 7 is all the time I have. I may, just may, have to move it up a half hour or so.
Week 4 Goal Update:
1. Positive Attitude Everyday - I think I did pretty good here, I've been feeling good lately
2. Walk 6x this week - I only made it out 4 sessions
3. Do a Turbo Jam Session 3x - I only made it 2x
4. Closely follow my nutrition guide for liver cleanse - well I could have done better.
5. Journal all changes - YUP did this without fail. Bought ANOTHER new book too!
Week 5 - Goals for this week:
Get up every (work) day at 4:00a to exercise
- Make Healthy choices (even for those binge attacks if I get another one).
- Read the Gabriel Method book
OK I've got some blogs to catch up on....
Have a FANTASTIC day and make good choices

It's hard to binge while eating healthy. You'll notice we never want to eat eight or ten apples lol. I think eating healthy will curb your urge to binge.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right Chris, my dinner last night was carb filled, more than I normally eat but it was a turkey noodle dish that I LOVE but only have - well when I've had turkey. I'm not good with carbs of that sort and I think it triggered something that I just don't have a handle on yet. I'm a meat and veggie person normally ...
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on blogs too right now. Amazing how fast they can get ahead of you isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're enjoying your alone time. And, I think Chris has given you (and me!) a great tip about bingeing/overeating.
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to get your comment on my blog today. We are on the same page on the "D" word.
I wish I had the money to go get the sleep test, I don't. I may try to use my husbands. I am so tired of being tired all the time.
I'm glad you got the Gabriel Method book. It is not a fad thing. Very insighful on how and why we gain and why we can not lose weight. Both me and my husband (Fried Jeff) have read it. I like the meditation to go to sleep by.
Jeff has also signed up for the ISA challenge and he is doing really good using the products. He is not going to weigh until the end of 6 months. He is 6 weeks into it and his shirts are huge. I start on Tuesday.
Also, I am not good with carbs either. I lose better in low carb high protein.
Keep up the good work. I would love to hear what you think about the book.
Sandra, it sounds as if each case where you didn't meet a goal, you just barely missed it. That is far better than it appears to some. I think it is great work. As I told someone the other day, think of where you would be without the goal. You wouldn't have achieved what you did.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
