I’ve got to get better at this. I love my blog. I really do! It is quite helpful to me. I feel so uninhibited here. That’s a good feeling. I’m back on the exercise wagon. It is a product of my stress level. I exercise so I don’t binge. It’s been working so far. Besides I want to buy some exercise stuff. I need to exercise to earn it. Oh yeah, I signed up to do the Marine Corps Marathon 10K. I know crazy, right? I’m scared but excited.
I got it this past Friday. I haven’t used it yet. I have set it and it looks like it works. We shall see when I finally exercise. Still trying to make sure I’m posting my menus. I decided to post what I plan to eat then edit it. Once I do that I will copy & paste it into my food log here. Well I am finally done with all my LC meals. I will no longer buy LC, Smart Ones, or Healthy Choice meals. I think SB are okay and definately Kashi meals are okay. Otherwise I will be making my lunch for work. Salads, sandwiches, leftovers. Gotta go get ready for work.
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.
