Good
Morning
Coaches
It's cold out there today. Definitely NOT July weather which should be more like this
Oh well. It's still Saturday. And a Happy 4th of July to all my American coaches!
Have fun today!
My food is getting better but it's still not great but it's better.
Yesterday was DH's birthday and he didn't want to do anything so I made him a nice dinner and a dessert. By last night I was feeling kind of yucky so I went to bed early and slept late.
I'm freaking out a bit over the next two weeks ahead of me. This is a reg week so I can get stuff outside of working in the ceramic room done but the next week I am working all week as a children's technician at the art school on the other side of town plus having DH's sister and husband over during the week as we all go out to a concert and then I still have to get my ceramic work done at the school downtown and we go out the night before my big art in the park event which means I am up super early the day of the show marking out 10x10 spots in the park where the show will be. So what this really means is I have A LOT to accomplish this week. And when pressured like this I just stop. I can hardly get going this morning. Pretty much after the art in the park show on the 18th I can go back to my regular normal schedule and then the first week of August I spend a month of full time+ weeks as a children's technician and a ceramic technician at the school so I am superbusy... but I'll come out of it with some money and this is the point.
Oh well. It's all good but I am tired all ready and when tired I eat very poorly. It's a major trigger like I have "earned" eating whatever and this body needs good food not crap food. So I have a major challenge ahead of me.

Beck tools, any tools, any time you avoid mindless eating, eat a little less, move a little more, any time..any time helps. And remember how much you are strengthening your resistance muscle.
This
is where I am at maryblu. I am far from perfect but I am 60% OP. I was, oh 2% OP? My desire to be OP is growing as well and it all starts there. Glad you're enjoying the summer
Me Too to the group.

I am thinking about joining the Beck Solution group. Question about which book to get.
Can you tell me the difference between them?
I do have my general diet plan, just need some help getting started and to keep going. Also I have been reading about cards. do I make my own?
It seems the major difference is that in the newer book she gives you a foodplan to follow (if you want to). I only have the workbook so I can't give you that much info others here can and I am sure will. Although it also seems there are additional exercises inthe new book vs. the old one but that's what I am getting from following this book. As for the cards yes you definitely make your own to suit you and your own challenges and your own life and motivations.
Nuxmaga Kudos for all the steps and Zumba and eating sitting down and reading. That's all good work. I'm completely resistant about the cards right now but so long as I tackle it at a glacial pace it will get done for me and you. Thanks for posting.

I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. We are out here and glad you found us! And yeah, all the effort is worth it... keep doing waht you can day after day and eventually things
will change.
twilit tera Sorry to keep reading of your rising pain levels. I hope your mom is doing okay. Congrats for getting your Beck book back
RobinW Good follow-through with your DD over the food choices at the grocery store. It seems your own support system just got a bit stronger eh? That's great.
