hmmmm... munchies

When I went for my walk today, I noticed a pretty cool looking light post banner. It was across the 10th street bridge and each of the posts had one of these banners (both sides of the road). They look to be all hand made from recycled material and look like the rag rugs my GrandMother used to make for us. I still have one in my trailer. I love seeing this type of stuff in my city... makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

 My walk must have done me some good yesterday because my hip didn't hurt as much last night. Movement is certainly a key for me. I enjoyed the walk as well. Even though it was on the treadmill, I just selected some inspirational stuff to listen to this time and just zoned out. Normally I listen to music, but not yesterday. I felt pretty good all day long.


My food has been pretty good but I messed up a couple of times yesterday. BF and Katie came home and he dug out the bowl of Halloween chocolate bars. I hid them when he left so that I wouldn't see them. I don't normally like chocolate except once a month, and that happens to be right now. So last night, I had two PB and choc cups. Two, can you believe it!! Man, where's the willpower when you need it.


I got on the scale this morning because I have an appointment with Sharon and her biofeedback machine this afternoon and she likes to monitor how much I weigh. She can do caliper tests and although I don't think I'm getting one this afternoon, she still tracks the wt regardless. I'm down 8lbs without really trying since I did my emotional release a couple of weeks ago (and yah, I was sick in the middle of it). But I also have NOT been 100% on plan with some junk (chips) and beer mixed in with it all. I keep saying to myself "Imagine what you could do if you were 100% on plan".

So why don't I do 100%.... I don't know. It seems like as soon as I think I have to be 100% on plan, I get stupid cravings (for chips - like Doritos) or I get hungry - like I'm starving. It's all mental I know and I really need to work on that mental aspect of it all. So lately, I've just been trying to focus on relaxing, doing the best that I can, improve on that even more, and let it all go. If I focus on what I'm not doing right, I just keep on doing it wrong. If I focus on letting it all go, enjoying myself, and relaxing. I'm not hungry... nor do I crave chips (much).

Now how dumb is that :)

Why do I crave those crunchy salty chips/popcorn all the time anyway? Anyone else have this issue?

Hope today you are having a FANTASTIC day and are making good choices.
