All in all, a few steps add up
General, Getting back on track October 21st, 2008I definitely took a few baby steps last week. I also took some side steps and a few backwards steps, but overall my steps are more moving towards where I want to go than where I’ve been concerning my weight.
The scale showed some drop vs last week, enough to be encouraging considering the number of indulgences from the weekend with the in-laws.
I haven’t been keeping up with the food diary although in part that’s due to some good habits coming in and a general idea of what I’m doing well vs not well. Still a lot of room for improvement, but I’ve mainly chosen cereal for breakfast even when faced with much more tempting fare, ditto for coffee breaks at meetings choosing fruit, and generally reasonable lunches. Dinner could probably use some improvement in the future, especially if I can get out of the munching-on-bread habit.
Oh, and exercise. It would be really nice to be able to get back to even infrequent but regular exercise. Not sure when I can work that in, but thinking about it is often a first start.
I’m traveling a fair amount right now (currently in Brussels, then away for the weekend).

Hey, Sarah! Take a look at my blog today. I’m going to be tracking calories all day and seeing what kind of effect occurs even after just a few minutes of exercise.

Yep, trying to stop that eating while preparing something to eat habit.
it’s a bad habit that inevitably leads to eating a lot more than one originally intended.
but that’s the baby step right? Noticing where you need improvement and then taking that ‘adult’ step towards it?
Wish things were a bit easier - but at least they’re in our reach
keep up the mindfulness ms. round - it’s working for you!
