Time has sure flown. When I first started this I thought I would surely have lost a ton of weight by this time in my journey. I haven't. However I have learned so much about myself and my eating habits. I have started changing my way of thinking and my way of eating. I have come to many conclusions about some of the things that trigger me to eat unhealthy. I have really struggled with keeping up with this blog. It makes me transparent. I am not sure I like being transparent, because when others can see what is going on in my life I am very conscience of what they might think or say. So sometimes it is easier to just keep things to myself.
If you are still here after 98 days, then you know that my life is busy, and that I have a special needs child that requires a lot of my time, energy, money, and attention. I also have 3 other wonderful children whom I home school. I am a wife and a child of God. I had a bit of a revelation this past week. Chris will always have problems. There will always be something that distracts me from meeting my goals. Seems funny, because that looks like it would be so obvious, and yet I only just realized it deep down.
I know have a plan in place. I have a guideline set up to follow for eating. For the most part I do pretty good with that. I am struggling with getting to the gym regularly, however I have become a lot more active. I take walks now, and play outside with the kids. I wear a pedometer most of the time. I also have learned that if I get up and put my shoes on first thing I am more likely to be active and walk and do more things with the kids. Then if I stay in my pjs and and lazy around all day. I have to do more than just get dressed, the shoes and fixing my hair are a major part of my guidelines. Keeping proper and healthy food and snacks in the house is also a part of this plan. I also don't keep the things I am tempted with in the house. Then if I really want it, it is a big deal, it has to be purchased! Then you have to evaluate how bad you really want it. Is it worth, loading all the kids in the car and going to the grocery store?
I am learning to recognize how much each thing is worth in points.
The numbers I have lost 21 pounds since July. I have gain a lot of understanding and knowledge about my body and my mind.
Weekend overview
Friday 35 points; Saturday 41 points; and Sunday 35 points.
Life is always going to be stressful and hard, by my eating doesn't have to take a hit everytime my stress levels rise.
