I have been neglecting my blog as usual. Update– I decided to buy skincare products rather than a HRM for my 30 day reward. I am only planning to reward myself every 15-30 days now. I haven’t decided fully which one it will be. Now at 60 days I will buy a HRM. Hopefully it will encourage me to actually exercise. That is my huge struggle. So I will hit up e-bay today. Now I have to remember which Polar monitor I wanted to buy. I’m supposed to be reading Bob’s book but for some reason I’m not. Maybe that means I’m not ready. I think I will read my Superfoods book for now. I need to work on posting my menus everyday. I keep forgetting. I have been posting my menus on a thread in 3FC and just have been copying my menus from there.
I am always working on self awareness and the IE book definitely helped me to learn a bit more about myself. I learned:
1. I can trust myself.
2. I am not powerless over food. I refuse to believe that and it is the main reason I am still on the fence about attending OA meetings.
3. I can lose and/or maintain weight without being rigid and counting everything I put in my mouth.
4. I can prevent a binge.
5. I can recognize the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
6. I can stop when satisfied.
7. Despite my past I can overcome this and I will.
and it is day 36. Really have a lot on my plate so I am proud of the fact that I am still not bingeing. I’m actually eating a bit less than I normally do and it is showing up on the scale. I am truly being an intuitive eater. I didn’t think it was possible but it is. I still need to read two more chapters in my IE book. Bob is in limbo at the condo office. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow.
YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made it–30 days. I’m so excited. A HRM is my reward. I’m watching one e-bay that I better check on this morning. I am so proud of myself. Onto the next 30.
I snuck on the scale and I’m up. What to do.? Some of the choices I made this weekend weren’t the best but I don’t feel guilty. I will weigh in for the TBL on Saturday but won’t record my weight here until I weigh on 5/1. I only have two more chapters to read in my IE book.
I recently looked for other bloggers out there doing intuitive eating and found a few. I added them to my blogroll. Others are my internet “friends”, good resources, or blogs that just speak to me. I will continually update my blogroll because I need to be able to get on the blogosphere and blog away but also have access to read others blogs specifically if I am struggling or just need some inspiration.
So I exercised again this morning. Jillian’s Cardio Kickboxing again. It was a little easier this time. So here is my game plan.
Through the week of 5/4/08:
Water Exercise 2x/wk
Seated Weight Training 1x/wk
Jillian’s Cardio Kickboxing 2x/wk
For the week of 5/11/08:
Water Exercise 2x/wk
Jillian’s Cardio Kickboxing 3x/wk
Beginning week of 5/18/08:
Jillian’s Front Side–Beginners or Jillian’s Shape Up Front Side 1x/wk
Jillian’s Back Side–Beginners orJillian’s Shape Up Back Side 1x/wk
Jillian’s Cardio Kickboxing 3x/wk
At some point I will get bored and need to mix it up but for now this will do.
and I know I’m gonna make it. I exercised yesterday too. Jillian’s Cardio Kickboxing. I’m still paying for it but definitely worth it. I will try hard to finish my IE book this weekend. I want to start Bob’s”Are You Ready?” next. I better get on it. I also want to post what I’ve learned about myself so far doing IE. I need to start researching HRM because I want that to be my 30 day reward.
Between school, work, and BF life has been hectic. School–I hate the class I’m in and am frustrated with my professor. He seems like a really nice person but just isn’t as clear as he needs to be. Work is always hectic but the closer we get to summer the more hectic it is. BF only in the sense that he wants to spend more and more time with me and sometimes that isn’t possible. Despite all of this today is Day 22 of being binge free. I am really proud of myself. Now I need to work on exercise!
Yeah! Life has been a hectic mess but despite that I am doing well. I am exhausted but I am surviving. I am hating school right about now and can’t wait for it to be over. I have a 6 week class beginning in a few weeks that will be 2x a week. Its a research stats class. Oh what fun and this is the busiest time of year at work. The good thing is the class ends before summer camp begins so that’s helpful.
Some evil person here on 3FC mention TBL Australia was on youtube. Mistake. I watched the entire first season last weekend and finished it earlier this week. Inspiring. I really liked Adro. Christie not so much. I also really really liked Ruth and Cat. I thought season 2 was on there too but couldn’t find it. I think I will move on to season 3. Really wanted to exercise especially since I have Jillian dvds and TBL dvds but I just looked at them bc I was so tired. Because I exercise 3 days a week as part of my job I think I will wait until the programs end in early May and pick up from there. I am toying with the outdoor bootcamp thing again.
